XP: City Mini Car Seat Adaptor?

Have any of you ladies gotten the car seat adaptor for the Baby Jogger City Mini?  

I've been reading reviews and a lot of them say that it really doesn't have a good secure fit, especially with the Graco SnugRide 35 (which is the car seat we have).

I'd love your opinions, TIA!

    Hey lady!  We have it and I think it works great.  It did take me a while to get it attached properly, because the additional cross bar used for another brand of seat was on the frame and it took a while for me to realize that I needed to remove that for the Graco.  And you do need to use the strap over the carseat to make sure it's secure (where the seatbelt would go if you used the carseat in the car that way.)  Once you get it hooked up properly, I think it works great.

    we used it with the Graco and it worked fabulously!  it is a bit wobbly at first, but the weight of the baby, plus the safety strap takes care of that right away!

    I don't have it yet, but will be getting both the Snugride 35 and the city mini.  When I saw it at first in Buy Buy Baby, I did not think it was secure enough, and proceeded to have a meltdown over it. Then I saw someone with it at the mall, and asked how she liked it - she said as long as you remember to move the bar to make sure the snap in is secure then it's perfect.  When I went back to the store and a different salesman helped me, he snapped it in perfectly as well.

    We have the 35 and it fits great.  Like PP said just make sure you adjust the bar right and you're good to go.  Ours actually snaps into place....is very secure_ no wobbling.  We have never even used the extra strap.
