Description
The
car seat adaptors come in three models and are used to secure a variety
of infant car seats onto Baby Jogger strollers. The “Single” model fits
all single strollers, the “Double” works only on double strollers and
the “Select/Versa” fits Select and Versa strollers. The car seat
adaptors consist of two U-shaped, black, aluminum support bars and two
black plastic adaptors that allow the support bars to attach onto the
stroller. Black nylon straps secure the car seat to the adaptor on the
stroller. The black support bars are labeled A and B. The A support bar
is the larger of the two U-shaped bars and has a red plastic tip with
10 holes.
Newer models have only four holes and are not being recalled. The
model number is located on the lower right hand corner of the original
package and the manufacturing date can be found on a sticker on the
bottom of the package.
