Review by Shirl H. for Kolcraft Universal 2 Infant Car Seat Carrier Rating: I purchased the Kolcraft Universal Stroller to work with my Graco Snugride.
Unfortunately, the Snugride is unable to actually snap into the stroller. The Snugride simply rests on top of the "front bar" and you use a strap to strap the stroller to the frame....not a very secure feeling.

Review by Mom of 4 for Kolcraft Universal 2 Infant Car Seat Carrier Rating: I looked into all the car seat carriers and spoke with two friends that tried at least two types out. The kolcraft is the easy winner. I have a Graco car seat, the car seat doesn't actually snap in but my friend showed me how to adjust the carrier so the base of the car seat rests on it nice and snug. and of course there is the red belt that MUST be used everytime. In general I am very concerned about safety and I am happy to say that even though the car seat doesn't actually snap in place I am not worried that something might happen.

Review by H. B. Curry for Kolcraft Universal 2 Infant Car Seat Carrier Rating: Although some reviewers indicated that this carrier worked with Chicco car seats, it does not. Indeed, when I opened the instruction book, here is what it states: "DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING CAR SEATS IN THIS CARRIER! This list is not inclusive: Baby Trend Latch-Loc, Baby Trend Flex-Loc, Britax Baby Safe, Century 535/5802/590 Series, Century Assura Series, Century Smart Fit Series, Chicco Key Fit, Cosco Dream Ride, Fisher Price Stay in View, Evenflo Embrace, All Gerry Infant Car Seats, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio, Kolcraft Infant Rider, Kolcraft Secura."

Obviously, if you use any of these car seats, you should avoid this product and, unlike me, won't be burden with the time and trouble of returning the unit.

Review by mama meets for Kolcraft Universal 2 Infant Car Seat Carrier Rating: I have had the Baby Trend Snap n Go, the Maclaren Easy Traveller, and the Kolcraft Universal. The Kolcraft is the best!!!!!!! It has a huge and easily accessible storage basket and easy one hand folding. The suspended tray beneath the car seat gives a much more secure feeling. But most importantly, the Kolcraft has front wheel suspension which allows for a smooth ride. LOVE IT!!!!

Review by monnieb for Kolcraft Universal 2 Infant Car Seat Carrier Rating: I purchased this carrier only to find out that is is NOT compatible with my Chicco KeyFit 30 car seat. The seat is not secure even when belted in. Here is the list, from the manual, of the ONLY seats that this carrier is compatible with. So much for universal! It would have been helpful to have this information included in the product description, so that I did not have to waste my time!
