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.
My sister had this jogger system for her baby and she said the wheel at the front got stuck a lot which made it hard to steer (I guess it got stuck in jogging mode lol) I have the Evenflo jogging system which is VERY similar in design but we have never had a problem with it. Folds up pretty easy. Also edit after I read my post lol; I use my stroller if not every day for walking, easy to push, relatively lightweight when I started walking alone 6w pp.
I have the Evenflo victory plus jogging stroller and it rocks. I live in northern Ontario and have tested all these terrains
We got the Evenflo victory plus jogging travel system. The big wheels are so helpful for all terrains ex. Snow, muddy areas, uneven ground. Held our baby almost til 1 year old :) plus you can get multiple bases if you have multiple cars. Edit to add: in northern Ontario
I have an Evenflo travel system, it’s a jogging stroller so it has 3 very large wheels. I find them good for terrains. I’d maybe go with the first option for that reason as the wheels look bigger!
I’d personally get something like the Graco trax 2.0 Jogger Travel System, but they have other models. They are made with bigger wheels which are great for terrain. I’m in Canada and bought the Evenflo jogger but they are similar!
We bought one with big off road wheels. But with a three wheel stroller comes very small undercarriage storage. I do love how easy it is to push in off terrain. But I can barely fit my diaper bag under the stroller.
I got the Evenflo Victory Plus Jogging Stroller Travel System
Another issue we ran itoo that never came to mind when stroller shopping was how big it folds. My stroller, when folded, fits tight in the back of my car. The front wheel is in the back windshield while one the side wheels rubs my car ceiling.
I needed a stroller and car seat that was active. I ended up going with Evenflo. The car seats are car crash tested and verified to keep infants and toddlers safe. I also needed a jogging stroller to walk the dog. The joggers are much more sturdy and bounce resistant on rough terrain. I can then switch out the car seat into the reversi frame for days I want to pack lighter and go for city strolls. In all, budget was also a factor so it came out to like $500 for everything. Jogger + car seat travel system was $299 and the reversi frame was $200. I didn't want to spend $500+ for like the Nuna, Cybex etc. the Evenflo gets the job done even if it's a bit bulky, but at least the little one is snug, safe and so is my bank account 🤣 Hope that helps! PS, I'm quoting in Canadian, so USD is probably around 350-400 total?
We spent on the carseat and the mattress, but everything else was gifted or used or very, very basic. Our travel system (an evenflo jogger) was $250CAD on sale, which is less than I regularly see heavily used strollers going for on FB marketplace. It’s worked great! The only thing that we have and love that is a bit pricier is the baby carrier once bub grew out of the baby wrap. Having a nicer one has made a difference for my back, arms, shoulders, wrists. The quality of life increase on that was so worth it for me, but for us everything else seemed like quite a lot of hype. (Plot twist, a stinky diaper is still a stinky diaper even if you put it in a fancy bin instead of a $3 trash can)
We bought the 3 wheel Evenflo system. Has a stroller and infant seat. It’s about $400. Easier to manviour with 3 wheels. Once they outgrow the infant seat, can buy a baby seat and still use the stroller. Get a baby backpack, not the ones that you carry as a side bag. Fill it with baby wipes , wet one sanitizing wipes, diapers, but rash cream, snacks, bottles, diaper mat, and atleast 2 changes of clothes. Lots of nice designs out there and affordable for around $50. Must buys also include nose Frieda for sucking out snot, infant Tylenol,
