Using the Adapter with the Graco Snugride 35,

At first the Adapter seemed to be incompatible with the Graco Snugride 35 and the directions were horrible. So I returned it back to Buy Buy Baby. But while I was at the store returning the product, the sales person showed me a floor sample and how to properly install the product. I took pictures and posted them above as it is not intuitive and is not mentioned in the product directions.
The bar must be installed such that it will lock in the seat. You won't hear a click because the bar is a little too small, but it does lock the seat in place.
The belt click must be used. I originally set the belt straight up and over the top of the car seat, but felt that it left no room for the baby to sit in the seat. The sales person at buy buy baby showed me that the belt must not be straight, but must hook around a ledge which holds the seat in place and doesn't interfere with where the baby is sitting.
Finally, the seat is set back underneath the canopy...Read more

A Must Have,

Definitely a must have, especially for your newborn. I've read on someones review that they had to remove the whole seat and was left w/ just the frame itself. We didn't have that problem. We simply snapped the adapter on, secured our car seat on the city mini and we were ready to go; without undoing anything on the city mini. The only complaint I have is that I think the adapter is a little pricey...especially for new parents like us. I'll post a pic w/ the car seat on the city mini soon to show how much the city mini rocks.

unnecessary. the stroller alone is all you need,

There are two reasons to buy an adapter that allows you to put the infant carrier car seat into your stroller. The first is so that if you have a sleeping baby in your car seat, you will not disrupt him by transferring him to the stroller. the second reason is because the stroller is for more mature babies, namely those with neck control and or can sit up. If you are really concerned with issue number one then perhaps you will consider getting this. However I found that it was rare indeed that my baby was asleep in the car seat at the time I needed to use the stroller, and he always went back to sleep if we just took him from the car seat and out him in the stroller. if you are more concerned about the second issue then you really don't need to buy this. the citi mini stroller fully reclines to accommodate the youngest of babies. If you want to support the little neck consider buying an infant support insert...Read more
