Installing a car seat adapter for your Baby Jogger City Select stroller allows you to easily convert it into a travel system, providing convenience and versatility for parents on the go. The process is straightforward, ensuring your infant car seat is securely attached.
How to Install a Car Seat Adapter for Baby Jogger City Select
Attaching a car seat adapter to your Baby Jogger City Select stroller involves a few simple steps, primarily focusing on securing the adapter frame to the stroller and then correctly seating your infant car seat.
Understanding Your Car Seat Adapter
Before you begin, ensure you have the correct car seat adapter for your specific infant car seat brand and your Baby Jogger City Select model. Baby Jogger offers various adapters compatible with popular car seat brands. Always consult your adapter's manual for model-specific instructions.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Follow these steps to safely and securely install your car seat adapter and infant car seat:
-
Prepare Your Stroller:
- Ensure your Baby Jogger City Select stroller is fully unfolded and locked into place.
- Remove any existing stroller seats or canopies that might obstruct the adapter installation.
-
Identify Adapter Components:
- Most car seat adapters for the City Select consist of two separate pieces (left and right) that connect to the stroller's accessory mounting brackets.
- Locate the specific "L adapter" component, which is designed for the left side of the stroller.
-
Attach the Adapter Frame:
- Align the adapter pieces with the accessory mounting brackets on your stroller's frame. These are typically located near the handle and footrest area.
- Push each adapter piece firmly onto the corresponding bracket until you hear a distinct click. This sound indicates it's securely locked into place.
- For example, attach the L adapter to the left side of the stroller frame.
- Wiggle the adapters gently to ensure they are firmly attached and do not feel loose.
-
Secure the Infant Car Seat:
- With the adapter frame firmly in place, take your infant car seat.
- Carefully line up the car seat's attachment points with the slots on the installed adapters.
- Lower the car seat onto the adapters, applying gentle, even pressure.
- Listen for the "click" sound. This is crucial; it confirms that the car seat is securely latched into the adapter.
- Always double-check the connection by trying to lift the car seat slightly. It should remain firmly attached to the adapter and not easily come loose.
Tips for Safe and Secure Use
- Compatibility Check: Always verify that your car seat adapter is compatible with both your specific Baby Jogger City Select model and your infant car seat brand and model. You can often find compatibility charts on the Baby Jogger official website.
- Read the Manuals: Refer to both your stroller and car seat adapter manuals for detailed, model-specific instructions and important safety warnings.
- Test Stability: Before every use, ensure the car seat is securely attached to the adapter and the adapter to the stroller. A gentle tug on the car seat should confirm it's locked in.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the adapter for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Replace components if necessary.
Adapter Placement for Single and Double Configurations
| Stroller Configuration | Adapter Placement | Car Seat Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Single Stroller | One adapter set on the main attachment points. | Car seat typically faces parents. |

By following these steps, you can confidently and safely install your car seat adapter on your Baby Jogger City Select, creating a convenient travel system for your little one.
