car seats and SBS strollers?

I'm sorry to keep invading your board, but you ladies know more about double strollers than any other. :)

Has anyone used their infant car seat on a side-by-side stroller? Specifically the BJ City Mini or the Bumbleride Indie Twin? 

We just can't quite make up our minds - I think DH is swaying towards the more expensive option (b/c everything is included), but I'm still stuck - I don't wnat to commit wihtout being able to know if I can get DD rear-facing easily. I loved that DS could sit rear-facing in his single stroller for 12 months and hate to give that up.

Thanks!

    Our chicco keyfit works in our bumbleride twin.  It's pretty simple....put the car seat in, buckle a strap over it, and we're off!  We bought the stroller sight unseen, mostly due to all the great reviews (and the video review on babygizmo, I think).  GL!

    We actually couldn't get our chicco keyfit in a used 2008 bumbleride!  We have the regular keyfit and eventually wedged it in, but it crowded DS' side too much.  That and DS looked like he would be too long for the bumbleride in about six months.

    I'm starting to lean towards a tandem.  I LOVE the city mini double but I can't image spending that much on a stroller.  Plus, our carseat doesn't fit unless we spend $100 on the chicco adapter.

    I have the City Mini Double, bought the carseat adapter and HATED it. It was really heavy and bulky, so I returned it. For a while I just put DS right into the seat, which works out fine. I also bought he belly bar and it turns out our car seat (Graco Snugride) rests quite snuggly on it, of course it doesn't lock though.

    We used our graco car seat in the bumbleride twin (2010)...worked great! You don't need an adapter - the only extra I purchased with it was the snack packs.

    We have a Valco Twin and just tried the Graco Snugride in it and it worked fine.  Even with the toddler seat attached to the front.

    Thanks ladies. I guess what I'm wondering though is how crowded the other seat is when you have a car seat in them? One poster said it looked really cramped - is that often the case?

    We have the Indie Twin and the snugride fits great in it.  It doesn't intrude into the other seat.
