2011 City Mini Double Shoulder harness straps Hi Everyone. Those of you who have the city mini, if you have older kids who don't like the shoulder harness how did you remove them? I only want the waist straps around my twins (will be 2 next month) and just unhooking the strap from the top leaves them dangling. Thanks!! 2011 City Mini Double Shoulder harness straps Hi Everyone.

We took off the top hooks, un-threaded the whole strap, put the waist clip back on, re-threaded through the little sliding length adjuster. You will have some strap still dangling, because it is long, but it is working for us and way easier to load and unload our twins. They would hate being strapped down! This is on the 2009 version, but I think the straps are the same. Does this make any sense to you?

Does anyone know if you can get replacement shoulder strap pads for the citi mini double stroller? We lost one today.Thanks!

If you call the company, they might send you some replacement pads. The number should be in your manual somewhere. Good luck!

The straps are in the back behind the car seat. You have to adjust each side individually. It is extremely hard to adjust when the baby is in the seat. The newer models have a pull strap in the middle front which makes it so much easier than this car seat.

Sure, DD and I did this for a loooong time. Nice when you are outside, no one really notices. So, to do this, loosen up both shoulder/arm straps to the max, that way you can carry your babe lower (boob height). Then loosen a little the back strap, just to give you two some room to wiggle.Gosh I miss my ergo, I gave away to a dear friend in another country because those are not available there. I bought another one recently (for my spanking brand new son) and I got a fake from Amazon... That suck, but customer service was awesome and refunded me. Now on my way to my local store.Good luck!

There is a strap coming out of the front bottom. Gently pull it after the harness is snatched around the child's shoulders. This will tighten the harness. It was loosening of the harness that was tricky. It took us a while to figure out. If you need to loosen the harness, find an opening slip situated on the front edge between the child's thighs. Push your index finger into it and feel for a metal plate. Push down the plate while pull up the harness with the other hand. This will loosen it.

We have been considerign purchasing this, can anyone attest to the true smaller size this posts. I just bought a Nissan Versa and thought 3 kids would fit comfortably in the back seat (not quite). We currently have the Evenflo Triumph, Fisher Price Safe Voyage booster, and an 11 year old that gets squeezed wherever she fits. The kids are actually 3, 9, and 11. The 9 year old still needs the booster-he is only 60 pounds. I am considering purchasing this car seat but only if I can get all three kids comfortable in the back seat. This would replace the Triumph.

My baby was born at 10lb 8oz, quite a bit bigger than a typical newborn, and was a homebirth - we didn't take him anywhere for 2 weeks. When I put him in his seat for the first time, I was *really* uncomfortable with how far apart the shoulder straps are. They slip off his shoulders unless I have the chest clip higher than typically suggested - basically as far up as I can go. This is despite the infant insert padding. I've never been a fan of needing a separate car seat for a newborn, but honestly I'm not sure this seat is the best choice because of the width between the shoulder straps.

Yes had that happen several times in car seat while I was driving so did not put on next time. Also when in stroller and bike seat, I used a sunglasses cord and tied a knot which rested on neck or higher. Infant still managed to get off so working on it. Figure it like all new things is a phase and will pass.

Unfortunately it is not working for us. We bought the smallest one but she can get it off. I shortened the straps and still gets it off.

With the old one you could only use one car seat at a time, and I have not seen a double car seat bar for the new (just tray/tray and car seat/tray) You can put a baby directly in the Bob, it lays flat enough and then just get a J J Cole body support (it's better than the snuzzler IMO but about the same price) We did this with my youngest at 4-5 weeks. If you really want the ease of popping in and out with a bucket, even if Bob offered such an add on, with their prices you wouldn't pay much more for a new double snap n go, less for used, and it would be so much easier to travel with. I have 3yo twins, i got my doubl snap n go for 10 bucks on craigslist and it was a great purchase.

I didn't use my infant seat with my City Mini, I used a different stroller with mine. Sorry I couldn't help.

My maxi-cosi infant seat does not fit without the adapter from baby jogger. It is too tight. I think that will probably be the same with all double strollers because the seats are more tight than on a single stroller. I hope I could help.

We bought ours for the city mini double and it worked well...my suggestion is to call baby jogger and let them know what model you are trying to attach it on...I did this prior to purchasing on amazon and they were very helpful and it gave us the peace of mind knowing we bought the correct version...good luck!

They turned out too tight around the neck unfortunately - my son was average 8 month old when I tried these. It was soooooooo unfortunate because the colors, material and velcro are excellent! Trully trully need to have a bigger opening, the velco is also so good that I also see where it would not be good for an infant because it may hurt and or makes noise to take it off. I tried using them by leaving some velcro exposed to make neck opening wider but it would scratch and redden the back of my son's neck as it rubbed. I guess if your child has a skinny neck it may work for you. I gave them away to a smaller baby...sadly. Obviously i'm still upset they didn't work out for us. Hope this helps.

our twins are just turning 2 years, they are 28-29 lbs, I'd think it still be good for another 2 years. First, when we had it, the issue is on the belt by the belly (left&right;) very tight. Then i wrote an email to Customer Service at DreamonMe.com to ask for extension belt, they sent them by mail within a week for free. Great customer service. I don't see any other issue on the stroller, we still use them.

They say you can use it with a newborn but I'm not sure the straps would get tight enough. My son was about 13 lbs when we purchased ours and I tightened the straps as much as possible and they were still a little loose. I would buy a snuzzler or use receiving blankets rolled up to place next to him/her. You can also purchase a car seat adapter through Baby Jogger for the City Mini. I've heard it's compatible with other infant seats - Graco, etc. You may also want to check out the City Select model. It's much more expensive but has an optional bassinet attachment which would be perfect for a newborn! They say you can use it with a newborn but I'm not sure the straps would get tight enough.

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I had the same issue with mine. I just dint installed it. Most changing pads comes with safety straps. I changed the one it came with and bought one that is more comfortable for the baby.
