Just received and tried the footrest so can't comment on durability (hence 4 stars instead of 5). It just snaps into place and I was able to install it with no instructions; but it was a bit difficult to close the clamp on one side. An elegant product and easy attachment to enhance the comfort and functionality of an already amazing stroller! I wonder why BabyZen doesn't just make their own. You must ensure that the footrest is placed upside down so that it does not interfere with the folding of the stroller (and does not interfere with the stroller standing when folded). Didn't try to put the stroller with a footrest in the bag it came in (we don't have a holdall). I think it should fit because the footrest fits in the fold area.
