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

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?

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

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. 

Evenflo! We got the travel system which included the stroller and car seat, for about $500. They’ve both been awesome. I live in a pretty outdoorsy area with semi-rough terrain and take baby out for long walks/trails all the time, and the stroller has been awesome. We grocery shop with it as well, run errands, and so on. Car seat has also been great, no notes! I don’t really see a difference between our travel system and those belonging to friends who spent 1500+ on their stuff. We also got a pretty cheap swing and it does the exact same thing as the expensive ones lol, plus baby wasnt into it for long anyway, so if we would have splurged it would have been a waste.

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 walk my baby in the evenflo car seat stroller and can get it on grass. I dont see why it couldn’t go through snow on pavement or sidewalks
