Bob stroller and Baby Trend car seat?

I have a BOB Revolution single stroller. 

I just received a Baby Trend car seat that I cannot return.   Dilemma is I can't seem to find a compatible adapter to make the two fit together ?

Anyone know of a compatible adapter? or a different adapter that would work with the car seat/stroller?

I love my BOB and am super grateful for the car seat, now I just need to make it work.

I have no experience with the BOB and Baby Trend, but I just wanted to say to make sure the Baby Trend fits in your car. Baby Trend requires that the handle be down, so it takes up a bit of room. Also, it is also hit or miss on whether babies fit it well. Just remember that the straps need to be below the shoulders when you are leaving the hospital, otherwise you will need a different seat, unfortunately.

 

Good luck!

No problem! I didn't know any of that as a FTM either. I recently became a car seat tech, so I keep learning more and more. :)

Unfortunately BOB only makes 3 adapters - Graco, Chicco, and Britax. Unless you rig something else up, the two are not going to fit together. (Which is a major bummer since DH liked the Baby Trend handle on the car seat better than the others, but we wanted to go with the BOB over the Baby Trend Expedition.)

ETA: Why can you not return the car seat? If it was one that was passed on from someone else, keep in mind that BRU is having their Trade-In event coming up sometime at the end of Jan/beg of Feb, so you could always trade it in and get 25% off a different one. Other than that, if you still have the original packaging, you should be able to take it back to the store with or w/o a receipt (if it was a gift).

I don't think we have the trade in event in Canada
If we do I'll trade it Forsure
The car seat came without packaging it was used for about a week
My SIL came here on vacation and car seat got lost in transit
This one was on sale so she bought it and can't return so I bought it off her not knowing it couldn't fit my beloved Bob
