Baby Jogger City Select Owners: What infant seat do you have?
If your use an infant seat w/ the BJCS, which one do you have and does it snap in place? Or do you need a bar/strap?
I need to hurry up and get #2's infant seat. I've read that the Maxi Cosi Mico is the only one that snaps into the adaptor. If true, then I think it's the one I'll get. I plan on ordering it online and the website doesn't have free returns, so I just want to make sure that it will snap into place and that there aren't any other brands that will do the same. Thanks!

We have a Graco Snugride 32. It fits on the universal adapter bar, but saying it "snaps" in place is a stretch. The bar is really not very secure. It has a strap that you have to secure around the back of the car seat to hold it in place, and even then it flops around a bit. Most of the reviews I've read have reported similar problems. We've never had any problems with the seat staying on, but every time we used it, I was nervous.
It's not clear to me from your post whether you are aware that you have to buy a separate adapter bar to be able to use any infant seat with the BJCS. The adapter does not come with the stroller.

Thanks for the info. I do know I'll need a seperate adaptor, I've just read that the Mico is the most secure seat not needing the strap.
We have a Graco Snugride (the basic 22 pound model). It fits on the BJCS just fine. Nothing carseat really "snaps" in place - you need to be more careful putting any carseat on the universal adapter - but it fits and is secure once you buckle everything in place.
I happen to have a picture handy (I just wrote a review of the BJCS for a stroller blog):

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

In my opinion it would be really really stupid to not use the strap on this stroller. The way the universal adapter works, NO carseat would be 100% secure without it. It takes an extra 10 seconds to buckle it.

This...but I will still use the strap with it
Just wanted to update that I ordered the Maxi Cosi Mico and it snaps into the universal adaptor brackets perfectly. The universal adaptor kit comes with all these bars and things and I'm so glad I don't have to mess around with them, just the two brackets. The seat feels very secure but does come with a safety strap.
I considered the Chicco Keyfit, but since I don't plan on using the seat past 6 months or so I didn't see the point in the extra weight of the seat. The mico only weighs 8lbs, the keyfit is something like 16 I think.
