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

I have the evenflo pivot expand. We knew we wanted kids close together and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a double stroller. I have used it almost every day in all weather, on the bus, with one or two kids, for the past 2.5 years and it's still in great shape.  Pros: fits two kids, manoeuverable with one hand with just one kid, lots of positions for two kids, big cargo basket, works in the snow. Fits just fine in the trunk and it's not too heavy.  Cons: very wide, fits through standard doorways but tight getting in crowded buses. Harder to manoeuvre with two kids. Front wheels sometimes wobble if we run. Car seat isn't very compact so might not be the best for a small car.  Overall really happy with it, especially for the price we paid. I don't have an Uppababy so I can't compare, but I don't think it's necessary to spend 4 times more for slightly better ergonomics or functionality or name recognition. 

I lost my mind about strollers. In fact, my car got stolen with the stroller and car seat in it recently, and I was more upset about losing the stroller than the car itself (it was found with all our stuff, thank goodness). I picked out the EvenFlo Pivot Expand Travel System. It’s not the cushiest and I actually don’t love the car seat straps now that I’ve borrowed a friend’s Graco, but I love the features. I’m not sure if it matters to you, but I knew we wanted a second and I wanted something that could tote both kids eventually. The travel system comes with an infant seat and a bassinet that converts to a toddler seat. You can also buy other attachments later like a riding board and snack tray, or additional toddler seat. It’s around $500 usually and I love it.

I have the Zoe twin and I LOVE it. Mine are 18 months apart. The only thing is that I wish I could front face my baby sometimes, but they do have flaps you can see in the stroller. They also have car seat adapters for I think Chicco and Graco? I also have the Evenflo Pivot Xpand tandem stroller and it’s bulky and harder to navigate than the Zoe. I’ll be flying with the Zoe for the first time today. It’s also nice that it fits through standard doorways.

Evenflo Pivot travel system - and if you plan on having 2 maybe splurge for the evenflo pivot expand travel system that can hold a toddler and infant. You can still use it singular for your baby It’s lightweight, clicks in to the stroller and car seat base, and looks very average (so nothing fancy). The wheels are fine. Unless you plan on going through rough rocky terrain, you’ll be fine. The singular evenflo litemax expand travel system (car seat, car seat base, and stroller) I think is under $300 right now and the expand version (that allows you to seat an infant and toddler) is under $500

I would never buy that car seat stroller. My friend and my SIL have it… unless you’re 5 feet tall it’s incredibly short and I think it’s really ugly. We opted for the EvenFlo Pivot Xpand. Comes with a travel car seat, folding stroller, and a bassinet attachment that converts into a toddler seat. 10/10 excellent stroller system.

I’m not sure how well this fits your criteria, but I do know that they have them in target so you can test them out. We got a man Evenflo Pivot Xpand with our first when she was born, and she is now 4.5y. We also have a 3yo, 14mo and pregnant with #4 so we’ve had it for a while. It is a double stroller, which none of those are particularly light nor small, but the regular Evenflo Pivot is the same just as a single stroller. I live in the suburbs so I don’t know about using it in the city, but I haven’t had issues maneuvering it. It is a double stroller so it’s bigger, but I would imagine the single would be even easier. The toddler seat I believe lays flat, but it’s not something I’ve personally used. The double stroller only requires one hand, but since it’s bigger it’s a bit heavy to do one handed. I would think the single would be easier. It’s just one latch thingy to unfold it. Budget is where Evenflo lives. The double stroller (including toddler seat and infant seat) is $450 on amazon, the single is $350. Hope that helps!

If you’re going to have another baby soon.Please get one that can convert to a double stroller.I went with the evenflo pivot xpand for this reason and also price point

Honestly, I don't use a stroller as much as I thought I would. I have four. Evenflo Pivot Xpand-Given to me as a gift. Pros: Pretty great for a toddler and newborn. I really love the fact that the car seat can click into the stroller. And the bassinet feature is another thing I love. I can bring a baby carrier and just the bassinet and use it for either baby. I let my toddler run around while baby lies in the bassinet. Then put baby in the carrier while the toddler sits in the bassinet/toddler chair. Cons: The frame is pretty flimsy. Feels like it'll break within a year of constant use because it squeaks and moves side to side easily. Hate the fact that it comes with a detachable cup holder. When you're going through the door or putting it in the vehicle, it falls off and rolls away lol. I just ended up buying the Momcozy stroller organizer for it. Very bulky and heavy. It's hard to bring up and down stairs, especially in double stroller mode. But it is a double stroller lol. The soft spongy handle gets ruined pretty easily. We had ours in the back of a truck and I got it out and the handle was shaved down. :( Evenflo Pivot Travel System-Given as a gift. Essentially the same points as the Xpand. Just no double mode. The bassinet that comes with it does lay flatter than the Xpand bassinet though. Larktale Crossover Convertible Stroller/Wagon-Bought myself while on sale. Actually really loved it initially. Pros: 2 in 1. Can easily turn into a stroller or wagon given the circumstances. I like all the accessories it came with. Pretty durable and we used it in the mountains on trails and stuff. Cons: It was difficult to turn into stroller or wagon mode initially. Sometimes the pull handle would pop out if you didn't put it on properly. Never used the second seat. The wheel fell off on the third use. One of the clips in the front fell off while my baby was in the wagon and I had to Macgyver it back together. I hate that I can't see baby. I would genuinely prefer a Wonderfold so I can see baby in front of me. Bily Easy Compact Umbella Fold & Swing-Away Canopy Deluxe Umbrella Stroller-Given as a gift. Eh. Typical cheap umbrella stroller. Kinda of difficult to open or close. We can hang it up but it does fall open a bit. Do love the convenience of it. But it is long. My heart is really set on the Nuna Trvl. If you can afford it, I'd splurge on that. I've used it every chance I got whenever I can. And it's sooo compact. So all in all, I think if I could. I'd splurge on the Wonderfold W2, Nuna Trvl, and keep my Pivot Xpand lol. Really try to test them in store as much as you can. Fold them up, unfold it, lift it every way possible, try the straps, run around the store with it if you have to lol

The Pivot Xpand lasted us through two kids and was used as a double for a while, was still in good enough shape to pass along to another family after daily use. We were super happy with it.

I have the evenflo pivot expand travel system and I really like it. It comes with a stroller, stroller seat, and car seat that can click into the stroller. The stroller seat converts from a bassinet to a toddler seat. It expands so you can add a second seat. My sister has the same travel system, so we have tried out the double stroller feature with our babies and it works great. It’s also budget friendly. My one complaint is that the cup holder is too small to fit a Stanley type of water bottle.

This is what we got too. I wanted something that would work for two kids, I didn’t see the point in getting something that would only work for one baby when I knew I would need to buy a double stroller when the second one came.

I have the evenflo pivot xpand modular travel system. Got it with my first who turned three this year. I wanted it because I knew I wanted more than one kid. So it’s been helpful albeit bulky. But I love that everything comes with it for a price point of $400 (typically on sale on amazon). It’s practical and useful. I stopped using it because I don’t have a second toddler seat for it and prefer to use my double jogger or wagon anyways (less pieces) but when baby was an infant that thing was in my trunk permanently.

Adding that they have a non-xpand version. Same name just take xpand out.

I actually ended up getting [this one](https://www.evenflo.com/products/pivot-xpand-travel-system-litemax-infant-car-seat?srsltid=AfmBOoqGVi2jSe1M_3ZN8WBJoJEl3DKuJ1zW_jGcnGS2a8t_aeE1anXa) from Evenflo, because we’re plan on having another few babies quite quickly (god willing)! It was quite easy to assemble, is reasonably sized, and folds up nicely. Only a few weeks left until I get to use it!

Had evenflo pivot xpand and the day I sold it was the best day ever. Flimsy, squeaky and car seat barely fit in our car. Keep in mind of that not all car seats fit every car. Now I have Cruz v2 and love it. Bought it of marketplace

I have the evenflow pivot with the extra rumble seat for when both kids are bigger and we love it. It’s basically a mockingbird dupe for under $300. No complaints

I took some lifestyle factors into consideration. -I knew I didn't want to 'car seat carry' my child (I work out but I'm very short). This allowed me to rule out any stroller+car seat systems and opened up the possibility of convertible car seats etc.  -I'm fairly short so I wanted a way to safely and easily get baby in and out the car. E.G. a rotating car seat. -My spouse and I are pretty independent so I wanted a stroller that was light enough for either of us to lift into the car solo. -We plan on having more kids so I wanted a stroller that could be added onto to accommodate two children. -We are both have ADHD so I didn't want to fuss with buying extra parts everytime I need to upgrade the stroller/car seat. I want one and done products. -I really fancied a bassinet style stroller for the infant stage! **For the car seat I landed on the Graco Turn-2-Me**. A car seat that rotates, fits nicely in my car, and grows with the child (from a NB!) without any extra purchases. It doesn't separate from the base, but that's fine since I don't want to carry the car seat anyway.  **For a stroller I went with the Evenflo Pivot Expand**. It's very light and easy to maneuver, has a bassinet mode for NB babies and small alterations allow it to accommodate the child as they grow- without buying any extra parts! If/when I have another kid the stroller can also fit a second seat.  I went back and forth a lot between these and a Nuna but having to purchase extra parts was really a deal breaker for me.

I think we are going to go with the Evenflo Pivot travel system. You might want to check out Wirecutter or Consumer Reports buying guides for strollers for more information!

We LOVE our Evenflo Pivot travel system. The bassinet feature was so useful when our daughter was little and now at 9 months, we are using the seat option facing us and she loves it. Also very convenient to attach the car seat to when they’re little to run into a store, etc. We have zero complaints and it has been worth every penny.

I have - a nuna mixx - yoyo baby zen - an even flow pivot explore - fb marketplace - and just for a bob jogger off fb marketplace for running her to school The zen we wanted for travel because lugging around strollers is shit. But that and the evenflow have zero suspension - nearly launched her out hitting an uneven sidewalk one day. The nuna has great suspension - it’s our daily driver. The bob however is also super awesome. I think looking back, I’d get the bob. There are attachments for car seats, tray tables, cup holder caddies for your stuff. I like it way better. I got one free off a mom group and that thing lasted multiple families for what seems like 10 years. The wheels are worn but easy to replace. They are solid pieces of equipment I would highly recommend a bob jogger. If you would have told me two years ago that I’d have four strollers I’d think you are crazy. We use the shit out of all of them though so 🤷🏻‍♀️

We currently have two. We started with a travel system (Evenflo pivot, ~$300) and that worked for us for about the first year. The bucket seat clips into it, and it also has a stroller/bassinet seat. Our kid is tall for his age, and when he was around a year old, his feet started to touch the bottom edge, so we knew it was only a matter of time before he outgrew it. We wanted something compact, so we got the Ergo city metro+ (I think that’s what it’s called). We like how small it folds up and how lightweight it is, but the biggest issues are the basket size (pretty small) and it’s a bit awkward to unfold.

I have the evenflo pivot and I love it. I’m glad I didn’t waste my money on luxury.

I also got the Evenflo but the pivot. It’s been working wonderfully!

Everyone who I know who uses or has used the Doona has ended up hating it. Some because it’s short, even with the adjustable handle it’s not much of a difference. They couldn’t really use it past a year. They ended up having to switch over to a larger car seat and separate stroller sooner than they planned. Which was a lot extra inconvenient cost when you realize how much they paid for the Doona. Now for the Nuna I only have one friend in our friend group who has purchased it and even then She would t pay for it. Her family pitched in for it. I’m not sure what model she has but it did come with the bassinet attachment and you could put the car seat in when it. Now’s she’s using the larger child attachment so the baby can sit upright, and below is a seat where toddler sits. Recently I’ve been seeing some people have had issues with the Nuna and having issues with the company in general. I’ve had two babies and pregnant with number 3. With my first I used the brand Monbene it’s available at Walmart. It was a travel system. I liked it, I used the stroller til my son was 2.5. With my second I had the Evelflo Pivot and also really liked it. The bassinet attachment could be used and an extra toddler seat for when baby was older. You could clip in the car seat and the toddler seat. So I used that for when I needed to lug both boys around. With my third I got the Graco verb travel system. You can clip the car seat in and when baby can sit upright I’ll have a stroller. Graco is also one of the better known and highly recommended because price and they have so many options available.

We have the Evenflo pivot modular system and I love it! My baby has had countless naps in the bassinet attachment during walks, which at one point was the only way he’d nap. It converts to a toddler seat which my son loves. The car seat attached really easy, though by six months we ditched the bucket infant seat for a convertible car seat, so the ability to attach an infant seat wasn’t used too long.

We have the evenflo pivot! We love that the seat turns into a bassinet for the first few months, and then can convert into a toddler seat once baby's sitting up well! And that the car seat snaps into the same stroller base

I have Evenflo and find it kind of bulky when using the stroller . Will likely switch to a more streamlined stroller once LO can hold her head up more

If you're leaning toward the Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System, you’re definitely not alone, it’s a solid all-in-one pick, especially for the price. It comes with an infant car seat, bassinet mode, and a toddler seat that can face either way. That said, if you're open to other options, the Bellini Juno Compact is a great everyday stroller that’s also travel-friendly. It folds up in seconds, fits in overhead bins, and has a smooth ride that’s perfect for errands or vacations. It doesn’t come with a car seat, but if you’re planning to babywear or want something ultra-compact for on-the-go, it’s worth considering.
