BOB Gear Boosts Compatibility & Convenience with New Infant Car Seat Adapters

Jun. 06, 2012

BOB Gear, manufacturer of strollers designed to help active parents navigate the often chaotic world of parenting, introduces several new Infant Car Seat Adapters to its line of accessories this summer and fall, offering expanded compatibility with top-selling infant car seats. The new products will allow parents with corresponding infant car seats to use fully-accessorized BOB Gear strollers from their child’s infancy up to 70 pounds.

Beginning with the new Britax-compatible single Infant Car Seat Adapter accessory (available July 2012), BOB Gear strollers will mate with Britax brand infant car seats that feature the Click & Go system. The single, Britax-compatible adapter joins BOB Gear’s pre-existing line of single Infant Car Seat Adapters, compatible with top-selling car seat models from Chicco, Graco, and Peg Perego brands.

In September 2012, BOB will also introduce new Duallie Infant Car Seat Adapters, for use with BOB Gear Duallie (two-seater) strollers. The Duallie adapters will be compatible with Britax, Chicco and Peg Perego infant car seats. These Duallie adapters join the previously available Graco Duallie adapter. All Duallie adapters include a Snack Tray for one seat of the Duallie stroller, for use by older children.

Designed for convenient, quick installation and removal, the single and Duallie Infant Car Seat Adapters slide into the built-in Accessory Adapter in the BOB Gear stroller and audibly “click” into place. Then, parents can install the infant car seat into the Infant Car Seat Adapter (similar to installing it into its base in the car). The Infant Car Seat Adapter is designed for walking only, due to the higher center of gravity.

Accommodating a growing baby, the accessory is easily removed again so that an older child can ride directly in the stroller seat.

“As a new member of the Britax family, BOB is thrilled to unveil its newest Britax-compatible Infant Car Seat Adapters, as well as our expanded line of Duallie adapters compatible with Chicco and Peg Perego,” said BOB Gear Marketing Manager Nicole Brown. “Aside from underscoring our common bonds with Britax, the new products strengthen BOB’s lineup of convenient, ‘transitional’ stroller accessories that enable parents to use their stroller from their child’s infancy and beyond. These products increase BOB Gear strollers’ versatility and longevity, thus offering the consumer more value.”

The BOB Gear Infant Car Seat Adapter (MSRP: single $55, Duallie $85) is sold separately. Look for BOB Gear strollers and accessories in baby stores and sporting goods stores nationwide.
