Even though the 2011 BOB Revolution Duallie is not compatible with the Chicco Keyfit30, my wife and I though we would give it a try. Well it does work. The seat fits snug into the adapter and the canopy as long as the seat is completely reclined. Again do this at your own risk, but we feel the seat is snug in the adapter and also the safety strap is there for added stability. BOB will not recommend this as I have had email correspondence with their development team. We run and walk a lot so we were glad to know that it will work. Again the seat does not snap in like the Graco would, but fits very tight in the holder. Overall I feel that it is safe enough for my soon to be born baby and 2 year old.

After having used our Chicco Keyfit car seat with an older Bob single we were hoping to get it to work with the new Duallie that accomodates our second child.

Placing the Chicco Keyfit into the Graco adapter results in a less than desireable fit
- secure placement requires a significant amount of manipulation with the sunshields and flexing of the middle attachment point
- the most secure placement results in a near full recline for the baby
- more reasonable recline positions are less stable

Overall assessment is that the Graco adapter is not a great fit with the Chicco Keyfit - ~85 price point leaves you with an unfulfilled sense

For those with a Duallie looking to mount a Chicco Keyfit I would recommend purchasing and modifying the Duallie double snacktray and then performing some minor modifications vs using the Graco adapter

1) Source the 2011 Duallie Double snack tray ~$50
2) Drill out the 4 anchor points for the Left tray (there is a right and left tray)- I didn't have the best bits for the drill job so I essentially heated the anchors to a point that they melted/pushed through the black plastic
3) Attach and drop in the Keyfit (great recline angle, resides very deep in the Duallie seat, immensely secure)
4) When the child grows you can reaattach the left tray (just use a slightly larger nut and bolt combo)

Best part is that this setup is $35 cheaper and can be used over a longer period - what are you going to do with the Graco car seat adapter once the little guy is out of the small car seat (probably end up buying the Duallie Double snack tray)

3 stars due to high cost relative to functionality even if you have the Graco - you should be able to convert into a double snack tray and not have to purchase a new item

Just tested this out and it works great with my snugride 32. My toddler loves the new snack tray. The carseat fits better than in my old bob single. I know bob says it is only for the 22 and 30 snug rides, but my 32 snugride fits perfectly in too.

(Graco Users!) After much unsuccessful scrambling in search of the 2010 Bob duallie so we could still use our Graco Safe Seat car seat from our first child (this new Graco infant car seat adapter is only supposed to be compatible with two Snug Ride models) we wound up with the new, improved 2011 Revolution duallie but no working car seat adapter. I was prepared to just get by without one, but upon comparing Safe Seats and Snug Rides in a local Toys R US I thought we might be able to make this new Graco adapter work, and snagged one when they first came out late May. I'm happy to say that though the manufacturer may not have made this 2011 duallie infant carseat adapter to accept the Safe Seat from Graco it does, in fact, fit quite well. Maybe there is some safety issue, but our Graco Safe Seat (from 2008) snapped in solidly, this for those out there who, like me, don't want to invest in another car seat but prefer to stick with BOB products. So again, maybe there is some latent safety issue but in our road tests it has, so far, performed admirably.

Despite an adapter for their single series stroller, it seems that Bob decided not to make a Peg Perego adaptor for the duallie. We purchased this adaptor assuming it could be rigged/formatted to safely work with our Peg Perego carseat ... but no dice. Furthermore, the plastic tray for the older child is flimsy/cheap and sits in a position that is too low to be comfortable for my rather lean 3 year old girl.

Overall, this is a disappointing purchase to say the least, and will be going back. I refuse to buy a new car seat because the folks at Bob struck a deal with Graco to ensure that this adaptor is the only available and *only* works with their car seat.

I am very happy with how easy this addapter is to use and remove from the stroller. My carseat is the britax companion and I was worried it wouldn't be compatable with the adapter but being this is my second and last child I did not want buy a new carseat. The car seat snaps righ in and is very secure with the safty strap.

I had read complaints on the old Bob Stroller that the adapters were hard to put on, but this one was very easy to attach to the stroller. It is very sturdy and the snack tray is a good size. Bob says that it is only compatible with a Graco carrier, and I would heed this recommendation if I were you. I read numerous reviews online that said that other carriers could be fit in and secured with the seat belt. I have a Chicco carrier (which is compatible with next to nothing) and when I tried to strap it in, I found it to be very wobbly. My biggest concern was that my 2 year old would get his fingers stuck under it by accident. I ended up buying a second hand Graco carrier off Craig's List to use in it, and that carrier is very secure. If you're going to spend $600 on a stroller, don't try to piece together a solution for your carrier, make sure it locks in securely.

seriously this thing rocks. i got it today opened the box and within 30 seconds had it installed on our double. it is perfect and so easy to put on and take off. my 15 month old LOVES the tray and having his snacks and sippy cup right there. can't go wrong with this thing! :)

Our toddler is used to her single BOB Revolution without a snack tray, but she was very excited to have a place to put her things while riding next to the baby. This fits the carseat and BOB very well. Love it!

This is a fantastic upgrade from the last model. The 2010 model (I had a single BOB with a car seat adapter) came with a foam block that you had to use in order to keep the car seat up. The 2011 model fixes that with the back bar that the seat clicks into. I also love the ease with which you can install & uninstall. No need to get out the screw driver. My only annoyance with the adapter is that sometimes the safety strap can get into the wrong spot when collapsing the stroller with the adapter installed forcing you to re-collapse it & take it out before you can click the seat in.
