Evenflo - Pivot Suite Modular Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat

U.S. NICU based CPST here- My favorite seat for small babies is the Evenflo Litemax, specifically [this one](https://www.evenflo.com/products/pivot-xpand-travel-system-litemax-infant-car-seat) due to the supportive insert. It has harness adjustments that make it fit small babies *beautifully.* I would personally suggest making the hip and crotch buckle adjustments for a 3-6lb baby yourself prior to bringing the car seat in, because not all nurses (or even CPSTs) realize that these adjustments exist. But when done correctly I don’t think there’s anything else that fits a small baby so well. Some other really great options for 4lb babies at different price points: - Evenflo NurtureMax (also has small baby adjustments I suggest doing yourself- this one is almost as great as the Litemax!) - Chicco Keyfit 22/30/Max - Britax Willow (also has small baby adjustments I suggest doing yourself) - Clek Liing - Nuna Pipa Urbn Seats I’d personally avoid for a 4lb baby: - Graco Litemax line (often fits poorly before 7-8 lbs- it’s fixable with certain techniques but I’d rather have a seat that just fits as designed without all that) - baby trend (some will work well with adjustments but some won’t and they’re all hard to adjust) - Uppababy Mesa (huge headrest + awkward insert = poor head position)

We got the Evenflo pivot!

I didn’t pick my travel system I had one on my registry but my dad being the ever cautious grandpa did research and bought a different one… which actually does more then the one I had picked out and cost about the same…. So we have the evnflo pivot system which the stroller can be used from infant up to toddler… with the car seat and has like a bassinet and that turns into a toddler sit up seat which I thought was great because that means I don’t have to buy one when they outgrow their infant car seat!

You got this! Wishing you a safe delivery. 🤗 Anecdotally, we had the Evenflo Pivot travel system for infant seat. I liked it. Now we use the Graco Turn2Me and Graco SlimFit. Both great car seats with easy install. The Turn2Me is the BEST!

I love the evenflo pivot which is in a cheaper price range than the 2 you mentioned. It has the infant car seat which can snap into the stroller and a bassinet which turns into a toddler seat for the stroller. Super easy to use and lightweight! Looks pretty too.

I paid $180 for the evenflo Pivot modular travel system. Came with a car seat and stroller. I really like it!

With my daughter I got the Chicco Bravo traveling system. With my son that will be born in just over a month I decided to go with the EvenFlo Pivot traveling system. But I also don’t have a ton of money to shell out for some of the fancier ones and they all go through the same safety testing so I wasn’t worried about it not being safe.

Same here. We got it on sale for just over $200 on a black Friday deal. The infant car seat worked for my little one until he was 15 months old, and the stroller is still going strong for us. Only downside is that the stroller is kinda big even folded up in the trunk of my car, but owell it still fits lol.

I see the evenflow pivot, which comes with a safe max car seat as well as a rumble seat. It’s basically built for two kids out of the gate- or grows with your baby as they shift from car seat to rumble seat. I find it most convenient to be able to snap the car seat directly into the stroller. Especially with a sleeping baby! If they pass out on the 5 minute drive to the doctor I don’t have to wake him up until it’s necessary. With the rumble seat, I can take baby out of the car seat and use the stroller with the rumble seat instead. I usually keep both in my car. We also have a baby jogger we use separately at home for running to walking the neighborhood. One of the most surprising things to me about becoming a parent is the usefulness of multiple different kinds of strollers that fulfill different purposes. We don’t have an umbrella stroller but I could see that being useful too

I’m a CPST and in my unit we stock even flo lite max seats as they’re rated 3 pounds and up and are super adjustable to fit smaller kiddos. I also agree that graco snug rides generally are good for the smaller kiddos. As comfortable as the uppa and nuna seats look, unfortunately a lot of the padding isn’t adjustable and can tend to cause kiddos to be positioned less than optimally and leave minimal room to adjust and keep their airway open. Obviously I am not seeing your kiddo in their car seat so this could not be the case with you, but these are generally recommendations that have worked for me historically. Good luck!
