Evenflo - Omni Ultra Travel System with Revolve180 LiteMax NXT Rotational Infant Car Seat

I made a list of what features were “must haves,” which ones were “would like to haves,” and also, “bonus features.” Then I did so much searching to see which stroller(s) checked the most boxes from the most important categories. Narrowed it down to I like, 2 or 3. Waited for a sale and whichever that was, was the one I snatched up. Ended up being the Evenflo Omni Plus Travel System.

I’m a doona mama about to make the switch to this travel system! I just learned about this but I am intrigued! We love our doona so much but bub is 19lbs and growing at 7.5 months so looking for more practicality and we used a stroller so much with our first. We also have the first revolve seat for our oldest and it’s been amazing. What did you decide?

Panic bought an Evenflo omni plus while I was in labor because I didn’t have a stroller yet and the car seat I had bought I had to return because I got the wrong one.

Most Rotating car seats in Canada are convertible car seats thus they aren’t compatible with a stroller as they aren’t designed to be removed from the vehicle frequently. There is 2 rotating infant seats on the market in Canada. The evenflo revolve180 lite max and the cybex aton g swivel. The evenflo is compatible with the shyft stroller BUT rotating infant seats have lower weight limit. The evenflo is only 22lbs which is really low considering the price of the seat. You’re going to have to replace the car seat far sooner than other infant seats. I’d personally recommend a standard infant seat as they are designed to unclip from the base and are easier to move anyway. The rotating features really helpful with a car seat that’s installed into your car at all times. My best recommendation is to find a stroller you like first then look for compatible car seats. Your stroller will be used far longer than the infant car seat. You can also go the route of getting a rotating convertible car seat from the start ( I love my evenflo revolve as it goes to a high back booster up to 120lbs so really is a all in one seat) and a stroller with a bassinet attachment rather than one an infant seat clips onto.

I was going to go with either the graco 4ever or evenflo revolving one. I ended up going with the evenflo because we have a pickup truck and even with the infant seat having to step on the side runner to click the car seat in can be dicey. The graco one has top reviews all around and you can get it on sale for a steal. If it’s only the booster seat portion you are worried about o wouldn’t worry. It won’t be needed for a few years and you can buy just a regular backless booster on its own for $50 or less.

I got the Evenflo revolve 180 litemax next system and love it.

My skinny kids get bruised from some seats. Ive also had a cheap seat that was so difficult to tighten i threw it out. If i couldnt guarntee i could fasten the kids safely, it wasnt a safe seat. I will never touch the Evoflo brand again. 

I have the evenflo travel system with the car seat and stroller and the bassinet or whatever it is. I love it! I know she’ll grown out the car seat in a couple months but we are getting the use out of it!!

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?

I have the skip hop 3 stage bath tub that looks like a whale and I can say I made the right choice getting it. Baby was comfortable in it when they were a new born and then when they first started sitting up they could still lean on the sling part and then you just use the tub without the sling. After that I think baby will be old enough and capable to just sit in the actual bath tub.  I have the evenflo travel system where it comes with an infant car seat and then a bassinet that converts to a stroller seat for older babies once they start to sit up and get a little older. I honestly did not use the bassinet part as much as I thought because when baby was first born I couldn’t go out much and didn’t. Since 3 months he hates being flat on his back when he’s awake so he hated being in the bassinet when I did go out. I got a lot of use out of the infant car seat though, I can’t imagine not having it. I’ll be getting a convertible car seat soon because we’ve almost outgrown the infant car seat, and I hope to keep using it for a long time. The infant car seat is super helpful especially when I can just attach it easily to the stroller frame. It helps me get out of the house and makes everything easier. If I could go back in time I would probably get the infant car seat and stroller frame without the bassinet. Then I would get a lighter weight stroller that’s easier to open and carry around because the travel system is heavy and sometimes harder to open. 

I got the evenflo travel system which was way more affordable than others and the infant car seat is super convenient especially when it can click into the stroller and car base. He is almost too big for it but I can keep using the stroller with the bassinet as an upright seat.  If you could get a convertible car seat too for a second car that would be most ideal. Then when baby outgrows the infant one you’ll just use the convertible in the main car.
