Evenflo - Pivot Xpand Modular Stroller

We got the [Evenflo Pivot Xpand](https://www.evenflo.com/products/pivot-xpand-modular-single-double-strollers) as a hand-me-down from my sister and it honestly rocks. We don’t know if we’ll have a second, but the fact it can be a double stroller is such a plus! *HOWEVER*, my absolute favorite part of this stroller? [The basket attachment](https://www.evenflo.com/products/pivot-xpand-baby-stroller-market-shopping-basket). WORTH. THE. MONEY. (We bought ours on sale AND with our registry discount on Amazon). If we go for walks to the grocery store or if we have errands to run, especially if I’m without my husband, I don’t need a cart! Some people don’t love that it doesn’t click in but instead just sets in, but I don’t really mind, especially if the basket is full and I’m setting it in the car. But this stroller has been amazing and there’s so many different configurations for it. Even if we weren’t gifted it, I probably would’ve purchased it anyway!

My wife and I recently traveled to India with our 11-month-old, and I wanted to share some of our experiences and tips for others planning a similar trip. # Stroller We took our regular stroller, which was incredibly useful. Most airlines allow you to check the stroller at the gate, so you can keep using it throughout the airports. This made navigating with the baby much easier. # Formula and Food Before the trip, we were about 80% formula-based. We brought Enfamil Infant Toddler formula boxes and exclusively used Bisleri water for mixing. While in India, we gradually transitioned our baby to local cow/buffalo milk and solid food. * **Important Note:** My in-laws own cows and buffaloes, so we were confident about the milk's quality and safety. If you don’t have access to reliable fresh milk, I would avoid store-bought milk and recommend bringing enough formula to last your entire trip. # Packing Essentials * **Diapers and Wipes:** Take enough to last your trip if you’re concerned about quality differences in India. * **Baby Medication:** This is *non-negotiable*. Pack Tylenol, Motrin, and remedies for coughs and colds. * **Our Experience:** When our baby got a mild cold, a trusted doctor in India prescribed medication. Unfortunately, it was too strong and caused breakouts and rashes. After stopping the medication, the symptoms subsided. Since then, we’ve avoided Indian medications and relied on home remedies. * **Baby Bath:** We bought a small tub for our baby, who loves splashing around. Mixing cold and boiled water worked well to get the right temperature. We also brought baby soap from the U.S. # Medication Warning Healthcare in India can vary, and culturally, there is a tendency to prescribe strong medications—even for babies. As an Indian American, this was surprising to me. If your baby gets sick, consider sticking to home remedies or, if possible, returning to the U.S. for treatment. # Flights For long international flights, I strongly recommend booking a separate seat for the baby unless you're in Business Class. "Infant in lap" is manageable for short flights but not for longer ones. * We gave our baby Tylenol before each flight, which helped her sleep through most of it (we had four flights in total). * During layovers, she had fun standing on the stroller like a little captain, which kept her entertained. These tips worked well for us and made the trip manageable. Feel free to ask if you have questions or need more advice!

We have the Evenflo Pivot Modular system that we got from Sam's Club. It came with a car seat which attaches to the stroller as well. We didn't take the car seat to India but we have taken it on local US flights with us. We usually check the car seat with our luggage and take the stroller with us to the gate. Airlines allow you to take your stroller AND car seat with you.

I have the evenflow pivot with the extra rumble seat for when both kids are bigger and we love it. It’s basically a mockingbird dupe for under $300. No complaints

We have the evenflow pivot! It’s super affordable and it’s served us so well! It comes with an infant cat seat that snaps in, and a rumble/toddler seat. We bought an extra toddler seat anticipating we’d have two at some point. Currently we snap the car seat up top and the toddler rides below. However we have also figured out if we are doing a quick trip the toddler can just ride in the undercarriage without the seat just fine and she thinks it’s fun! The set is maybe $350 on Amazon. 100% worth it. We’ve had it 3.5 years and no complaints at all. We’ve also flown with it over 30 times. Including a trip to Europe!

We used the evenflow pivot that comes with an infant car seat. It comes with a toddler seat to grow with baby or you can use toddler and infant together or buy an extra toddler seat. It was $300 ish and a beast

I absolutely prefer the car seat that came with the pivot! It’s so muchighter and easier to carry and I was able to wash it easily. I hate the huge heavy ones we have now and they take up so much space

I got the evenflo xpand and I love it. Glad I did because baby #2 is on the way. I also went ahead and got the riding board that attaches to the bottom so I could honestly push 3 kids if we get there. When the oldest can stand on it.

Evenflo has treated us well through multiple kids (xpand, victory jogger, shyft rideshare) with infant seat connection points built in to the jogger stroller and stroller wagon at no extra cost, and is often on sale for a decent price. 

We’re on the Evenflo bandwagon. If you think you may have more than one child, the pivot xpand can function as both a single and double stroller. The rideshare wagon has an infant car seat attachment built in at no extra cost. 

I have the Pivot Xpand too and I love it! The seat isn’t bad. Not my favorite car seat but honestly it stays in the car most of the time anyway after he was a couple months old.

Another vote for the EvenFlo Pivot Xpand! My best friend has the same car seat so when we take our babies out we use my stroller as a double and I love it!

I did convertible car seat and the Evenflo Pivot Xpand. We moved from car seat to stroller. It worked well enough! We did baby wearing in the early days but my kiddo didn’t love it. Be prepared for car naps - there were times when we chilled in the car for 30+ minutes because I knew the transfer would be the death of us both. I carried a friend’s 20 pound baby in their car seat for all of 10 minutes and knew it wasn’t for me.

tandem stroller— a lot of places don’t have wide enough doors for a side-by-side. I got the evenflo expand i think it’s called? for now I use the infant seats but it also has carriage/toddler seats this may seem obvious but keep the tags on everything until you need to use it. whatever you don’t use just return/exchange

I don’t have these specific strollers but I have an Evenflo Pivot XPand (looks like your Joovy) and a City Mini GT (looks like Bunbleride). For the inline for us, it’s way harder to navigate, turn and just in general navigate. The wheels can’t handle as much. And it’s clunkier to travel with. Our side by side fits through doors but doesn’t have as much depth so it’s way easier to move around. The wheels are super big and durable and can maneuver everything. The seats are also way more comfortable, can fold all the way back, have way better sun shades and can hold heavier kids. The only reason we would bring an inline is if it were WAY more easy to travel with, fold up and if I was staying at a Skyliner resort so I didn’t have to fold it.

Evenflo pivot xpand. Originally just bought the pivot, loved it so much when we had our younger baby we upgraded. Best decision. Great through all terrain
