Evenflo - Shyft DualRide Infant Car Seat Stroller Combo

I love love love the Evenflo Shyft. The convenience is amazing. My baby is 6 months now and I'm dreading the day he outgrows it because I love it so much.

I'm using an Evenflo Dual Ride Shyft for carseat/stroller. The convenience is amazing! It's so nice not having to lug around a separate stroller. When people see me convert it from a carseat to stroller with the push of a button they think it's the coolest thing. My baby is 5.5 months and we're still using it. The only big con is it's heavy if you're using it in carrier mode with the wheels on. I have an Evenflo Revolve 360 on stand by when he outgrows the Dualride.

I love love love the Evenflo Dualride Shyft. The convenience of being able to instantly convert from carseat to stroller is amazing. I have a small car so I love not having to lug around a separate stroller. I will be sad when my son outgrows it.

The snoo bassinet was worth every penny and I was able to use it for two kids and resell it once I was done. The momcozy bottle washer, veer wagon, way B pico, BOB jogging stroller, Nuna Travl and Evenflo dual shyft have all been lifesavers. These items were acquired across two kids btw.

If I had to start over, I would choose the even Flo dual shift, and a mocking bird that can convert to a double. I was one and done when we had my daughter, so I got the Doona and I love it but the even Flo seems easier as you can take the wheels off and click it in to a stroller!!!

Came here to say the same thing! It’s super convenient when dropping my older kids off at school. Much taller than the doona (and better looking imo).

I also used the Evenflo Gold Dual Shyft. It has a stroller base that is detachable from the car seat. It was nice because you don't have to transfer baby out of the car seat and you *always* have your stroller. *BUT* you need to be able to lift in and out the car seat+ stroller base (if you are using the stroller) plus weight of baby. My baby was 6lbs 14oz at birth and is now 23lbs at 11 months. Honestly, I think the BEST thing is to just have a separate stroller (with bassinet mode) in addition to the Dual Shyft car seat/stroller. In terms of quality strollers, Nuna is gold standard, and Silver Cross would be ✨ Diamond standard. What kind of budget are you working with?

We got the Evenflo Dualride Shyft new (thanks to an Amazon sale earlier this year, we got it for $300), which is a combo car seat/stroller and a Doona dupe. My cousin with 2 kids raved about it, so I went with that option figuring it would be our travel system for about a year. It was great for the newborn days when she was very light and all we had to do was pop her in the car seat, and then pop the wheels out for when we needed the stroller option. That was pretty much our primary stroller for the first 3 months since we are in the suburbs and have a car for most outings and trips. For just short walks, we just did baby wearing (Ergobaby Omni). Also for the first month or so I was so exhausted from C section delivery and recovery, sleep deprivation from staying up all night with the baby, and breastfeeding that I didn’t even want to leave the house, so a nicer stroller wasn’t needed. It might have been nice to have the bassinet feature, but I felt like the baby spent so much time flat on her back while sleeping up to 18 hours a day that I don’t think I would have used it much anyway. The Evenflo dualride works great as a travel system but not as an everyday stroller. At the 3 month mark, I started wanting to go on some longer walks, so I got a Mockingbird single to double stroller with an infant insert on Facebook marketplace for $100, which I use for neighborhood walks and to the grocery store. I then got a travel stroller for when she outgrows the Evenflo next year (baby is currently 4 months and she will no longer be able to fit in the Evenflo when she is 35 pounds). I ordered the Ingenuity 3D QuickClose stroller on Amazon for about $100 (it was on sale and I used a completion discount). I haven’t used it on a trip yet but so far pleased with how easily it folds. I did do a bit of research into a travel stroller and I decided I would just go for a cheaper option in case it breaks during travel/gate check. I probably should have tried to get an Uppababy Minu on marketplace, but the nice ones were hard to come by or sold very quickly. We weren’t exactly on a strict budget, but I couldn’t stomach the idea of spending too much money on strollers since I got the Evenflo new and also got a new Graco convertible car seat for when the baby gets older. I am glad we started with the Evenflo, which worked great for the newborn days, and then had time to figure out what stroller features I really wanted. I would also highly recommend Facebook marketplace for strollers; so many are in good shape and if you end up not liking a stroller at least it’s not too much of a sunk cost. I got a used Graco stroller for $50 that I just tried out and used for about a week before reselling on Marketplace for $30, and then found the Mockingbird. We have a yard and a hose, so I just give the secondhand strollers a good scrub and then let it dry in the sun, and machine wash any removable parts.

I got the Evenflo dual ride shyft (Doona dupe) for about $300 on Amazon when it was heavily discounted (pre tariff), and found it good value for the money. When visiting family in the suburbs in Queens, we found it handy especially in the newborn days to just put the baby in the car seat and just have the stroller wheels unfold with a single push. I have not yet had a travel system so I can’t speak to how much more convenient it is compared to attaching an infant seat to a traditional stroller. In the newborn days I barely wanted to leave the house, so the Evenflo stroller worked for trips and short walks. I am now looking into getting a traditional stroller because the baby is over 4 months and I want to go on longer walks and runs.

I think I've read everything there is to read on the internet about strollers. I've finally made peace with the idea of getting three different strollers to fit our various needs. We bought the Evenflo Shyft Dualride (like the Doona better higher safety ratings) to work for when she's an infant and we're just running out for some quick errands. We bought the Silver Cross Wave 3 to live in our garage. We have two dogs that go for two walks a day and we plan to continue that so we want a good stroller for walks that works for all ages. We're hoping to have two fairly close in age so we wanted a single to double stroller. Our third stroller will probably be the Minu v3. It's a travel stroller that can be used at birth. This one will live in the car and be used for longer errands when I maybe wouldn't want her in a carseat the whole time. We're also hoping to go on a vacation at the end of parental leave so we wanted a travel stroller. In your case, since you want just one jack of all trades single stroller I would recommend that Uppababy Cruz. It's like the Vista, which all of my friends have and love, but not as bulky and is a single stroller. I would also get the bassinet so it can be used from birth and it's sleep safe certified so you can use it on it's own. Great to take with you if you go visit someone. I watched a comparison video of the Nuna bassinet versus the Uppababy vista v3 bassinet and the Uppababy one looked so much better to me. It was also lighter. If you have a store by you I would suggest trying it out in person. The maneuverability of the Uppababy Vista over the Nuna Demi Next was also better. I don't think I tried the Cruz since I was looking for a double. Alternatively the reviews on the Minue v3 look good so even though it's a travel stroller it might be a good fit even for every day use. Another option may be the stokke yoyo 3. My friend in NYC said that's what everyone there has as their every day stroller and it was a close toss up for between that and the Minu v3. I'm likely choosing the Minu v3 of the yoyo because you have to buy a lot of accessories for the yoyo3 to make it work right off the bat. I would be more inclined to do that if it was going to be my only stroller. I read some advice from someone else this morning regarding strollers and they said to just decide and then don't look any more and don't second guess yourself. So once you decide I would suggest that as well. I've found the stroller decision to be the most overwhelming personally.

We do too! So much so that we also got the Evenflo Shyft DualRide dupe of the Doona 😆

We have a mockingbird and evenflo shyft dualride - basically uppababy vista and doona dupes. We are absolutely thrilled with our choices. The dualride has an advantage over doona, in that you can choose to leave the wheels in the car, attached to the base, and detach just the carrier. I don’t believe this is possible with the doona, yet the doona is more expensive.

I have the Cybex Gazelle S because of all the modular options from having one infant up to two toddlers. But for the car and errands I have the Evenflo Dual Shyft which has worked great. Highly recommend both so far! (LO is only 3.5 weeks old haha).

We bought the Evenflo Shyft Dual Ride which, I believe, is Donna’s sole competitor on the market and we love it. It also has the ability to detach the wheels from the car seat which is helpful for carrying the baby to and from the car. It’s also cheaper than the Doona and you can regularly find it on sale. Have been using for 5 weeks now and have no regrets.
