Question about baby trends double snap and go.
I have the regular snap n go seats. Should the baby trend fit both sets securely? I put them both on for the first time today and it seemed like the front one would tip if I hit a bump. It locked in but didnt stay seem secure because it was resting on the back of the seat closest to me. And she was laying angled back a bit and not flat. It's the regular one and not the 30 so it should fit.

Re: Question about baby trends double snap and go.
I rely on the straps. I snap in the seats and then use the straps to make sure they are not going anywhere.
We spent a bunch of time figuring out, by looking up online what was the best way to configure the bars on the stroller for our car seats. In the end we found what was closest and then drilled new holes for the straps. We have graco 35's HTH

This youtube video helped me so much! We had the Chicco seats and were worried about the same thing.

It takes a little finagling to get the front of the back seat under the back of the front seat (does that make sense? ), but that is what makes it secure along with the straps.

Re: Question about baby trends double snap and go.
We also had Chicco seats and the Snap N Go, and even after watching that video and doing the "right" way... I never felt like it was secure so we didn't use it at all. We ended up using one of the following:
Contours Double stroller (not a big fan, sold after a month or 2)
Single Travel System with 1 baby in Bjorn or Moby Wrap
Double Stroller with 1 baby in carseat attachment, older son in other seat of stroller and other baby in Bjorn or Moby Wrap

Question about baby trends double snap and go.
I used it with Chicco Keyfit 30's. It worked great, super lightweight and fast. It says for those seats you need to use the straps. When mine came we had to switch the spacing of the bars to a different hole. The straps are a pain in the butt, If the bars are in the right hole and you load the babies in right they shouldn't feel like they are going to tip out. When the girls were tiny I used the straps but then started getting lazy as they got heavier and didn't use them as much. I miss the days I could keep the babies in their car seats to move them around.

Re: Question about baby trends double snap and go.
I had to remove some of the thin bars, but the car seats fit great. I also use those buckle/straps too. They guy in the store said when putting the kids in, put the back one in first (closest to the handles, then the front one. When taking them out, remove the front one first, then the back.

Re: Question about baby trends double snap and go.
It turns out all the bars were on and not in the right place. Lol. So we moved one to the closest to the handles and removed the other. It needs to be shoved it and it tight so I could probably move the bar up a bit if I drilled holes but its ok. Just a bit of a pain to put in and take off. I use the straps too.
