Good idea, poor execution

I like the idea of the Baby Bivy way better than the actual product. The idea is pretty simple - a little papoose that easily and securely attaches to a Chariot stroller to you can load your infant up, clip them into the Chariot, go for a stroll/ride/ski, then lift them out without waking them up.The reality is that the "five minute" installation took over an hour and the parts they supplied didn't work with the dual Chariot. I ended up scrapping the supplied hardware and rigging up my own system. Not only that, but the Baby Bivy is quite big, so it crowds out the other passenger. As supplied, the hardware holds the Baby Bivy at a weird angle with the kid's feet higher than their head, which the instructions say to fix with a blanket. For $66, I think it should be perfect. Also, the assembly instructions and photos are horrible.But, if you can get over all of this, it holds the baby well, is easy to carry in the "purse" mode and has plenty of soft lining so the kids seem be comfortable in it.
