adrlevI'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.
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.
Apprehensive_Pair373Ooo I went on from rebel and ordered the Evenflo shyft dualride. SO CONVENIENT. I like it better than the full travel system I had with my fist. I think I got it for like $460 on there.
Ban124If you want something similar to the Doona, I suggest the Evenflo Shyft dual ride. It’s a bit higher so if you’re a taller guy you don’t have to bend down like the Doona. Also, I think it’s has more space for the LO. We used it for my son until he was a bit older than 1, and he’s on the higher percentile. Plan to use it for my daughter who’s due in a few months.
bigpump00The 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.
Existing-Coach4310I have the evenflo dual shyft - super similar to doona BUT I have the option to take the seat out of the stroller which is lovely!
Fearfighter2I got the evenflo shyft dualride, it's both infant carseat and stroller so i don't have to lug a stroller in the car the big thing for me was there's a lot more (and cheaper) stroller options once they're no longer an infant (~ 6 months) and so I didn't want to get tied down to the limited infant options
fedsarefriendsI second this plus I found it way cheaper than the Doona
Gentle_GenieI 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?
