How did you find the stroller to work with a newborn? 😊

[@azawms]

@@liz21304 It worked perfectly fine. You can use the carseat or the bassinet from newborn age.

[@liz21304]

@@azawms would you repurchase it or would you go with a different stroller, if you had to do it again? Currently considering buying this one!

First time mommy here! You have no idea how much of a help you’ve been. It can be extremely daunting trying to figure out what to get for baby when there’s so many options… Thank you!

[@brittanykoval2234]

You should add to the video that the infant car seat can click into the toddler seat on the stroller. There’s no KZbin videos on it anywhere!!! It’s in the manual :) That way you can have a FULL canopy in the winter/rain/protection from stranger danger lol

Thank you so much for this review I saw your maxi cosí review as well, because I got both as well I couldn’t decide on one. Just like you I thought getting the more expensive one would be better. But I had my eye in the evenflo system because I wanted a lighter color so I got the same evenflo system you have but in a sandstone color. I feel more confident returning the maxi cosí one and keeping the evenflo system thanks to your reviews 👏🏻 thank you thank you !

[@azawms]

I LOVE the sandstone color and was really close to getting that one but I know I will get it dirty so fast and just selected the black. I'm glad my video was helpful. I did so much research when I was buying and I wish I had found a video that helped me, so I tried to make my video as informative as possible. Enjoy the stroller.

Hello , can I get an update? How did you okie this travel set so far? Does everything work great?

[@karenf.7481]

Great review . One question I have can the car seat from this system can be used with the snap and go frame ? I know with the snap and go frame it is much lighter than the system frame . Am I right or no ?

[@azawms]

I am not familiar with the Snap & Go frame that you're referring to. Best thing to check compatibility is to go to their website and see what products can be used with it and calling their customer service.

How has the stroller been for you and your family?? Durable? Convenient? Relatively light weight?

[@Lovelyjaeleen]

Can the car seat and bassinet combine together or will the car seat fall backwards if it’s inside the bassinet? I’m due in July and been thinking about getting this one, but not sure. Great review by the way!

[@azawms]

Thank you and congratulations! I wouldn’t put the car seat inside the bassinet. Don’t think it’s safe for the baby.

[@bebeautifulbrie2584]

Hey I'm 7 months right now and just got this same stroller. I was wondering do I have to get an insert for the carseat for the baby head for when he a new born. I've been seeing videos that say to get ones n other that say not to. I'm so confused.

[@azawms]

Congratulations! If you got the same model like I did, you do not need to buy an additional insert as the carseat comes with it. I cannot speak to other EvenFlo Pivot models. Good Luck! xoxo

[@cesarg5597]

Can it be used with the car ISOFIX system or is it the generic one using the seat belts o fix the base?

You can use Latch or the seatbelt.

[@eia006]

Just wondering how the paddings are? Is it well padded for the baby? One thing that i do get a lot from non first time mom friends are to make sure the strollers are a good material and well padded.

[@azawms]

It’s not super plush but it’s comfortable. I didn’t mind it.

[@ambybamb33]

GREAT review! your review convinced me to finally pick this stroller over another. you mentioned a travel stroller you were eyeing, what stroller is that?

[@azawms]

I was looking at the Uppababy Minu. I actually just purchased this since my daughter is bigger now and will do a review soon.

[@aminaderlic6241]

Hi. Thank you for very good reviews . Does it come with the foot muff?

[@azawms]

Thank you and no it does not. Xoxo

[@justinecadena3553]

Great video! We just purchased the Pivot, our dght is 2 mons and we used the Doona and while it is efficient our little one isn’t a fan! Idk if the seat is too compact or what but she does not like it!! I’m excited for this stroller combo to come in!

[@azawms]

That's interesting to hear! I know a lot of moms that love the Doona but it all comes down to what baby likes :)

[@MSEAD123]

@ohazieza Do you think this stroller rolls well through mixed terrains like uneven sidewalks, gravel, mulch? Is it good for walking? Also, does the car seat seem as safe? Is it crash rated well?

[@azawms]

Yes, it does a good job over terrains. I’ve taken it on mulch and grass at the park - All were fine. However, it may not be súper comfortable for long walks because it doesn’t have suspensión and you will start to feel it even on flat surfaces.

[@nanachan1599]

Hi. How safe and comfortable do yo think the car seat is compared to maxi cosi and graco? Thanks

[@azawms]

I can't comment on how they compare exactly, but I can tell you that I think they are more or less the same because I did use a Graco with my first and the MC for my niece & nephew. This evenflo one is a basic carseat, comfortable but the infant padding does make the infant a little hot but they will outgrow that quick. One thing I do like about the Evenflo carseat that comes with this stroller is that it is light - Which is nice especially when the baby gets bigger and heavier, which means easy to tote them around.

[@krystalhere]

Is there a pad or cushion you can use in the bassinet so baby isn’t laying on the seat belt straps?

[@azawms]

No but you can put a blanket underneath. Its not that uncomfortable.

[@isabellapignatti334]

Can you buy an extra base separately? I can’t seem to find it, I am getting this system as a hand me down and would love to get just a second base for another car

[@azawms]

Yes search for the evenflo lite max base.

[@Jennaaa63]

Is the stroller compatible with other evenflo car seats ?

[@bethsaidaholas1792]

Hi, does anyone know of the handle extends? I'm 5'8 and would love something I don't need to bend to push.

It doesn't. My husband is 6' and it is pretty comfortable for him.

I still like it and it does the job for everyday use for the 1st year.

[@kakemein]

Some of them use to come with the leg cover for the bassinet did yours have one ?

[@azawms]

No mine didn’t.

[@nanegarcia3975]

Is the color casual grey? Because I’m looking for the black completely and not found it yet.

[@azawms]

Yes, the name of the color is confusing as the seats are a dark grey but the outer fabric is all black.

[@yanelisalvarezleon189]

By any chance does the stroller with the car seat on top move around at all or is it solid? Also does it ever get stuck when your removing the car seat from stroller?

[@azawms]

No, it shouldn't move. I would recommend practicing without baby first to make sure you get it right. It doesn't get stuck from car seat to stroller. Very easy to use. You don't need special adapters to click from carseat to stroller. Stroller frame comes built in with it.

[@yanelisalvarezleon189]

I just recently purchased mine and sometimes it gets a little stuck when taking car seat off. Also the car seat stays firm locked but rocks back and fourth a little if I touch it

[@azawms]

@@yanelisalvarezleon189 Not sure why. Maybe you can contact their customer service.

[@risehorn9613]

How do you adjust the carseat straps as the baby grows? And ,how do you strap the carseat" base" into the car backseat seatbelt restraint?

[@azawms]

Look behind the car seat and remove the belt hook and that allows you to remit the straps from the lowest holes for you to move them up to the second set of holes. Then put the straps in the back hook again

[@risehorn9613]

[@domg86]

Hi! First time Daddy here! Love the review, you wouldn't believe how helpful it was! THANK YOU! This may sound stupid, but when would you use the bassinet and the other seat? Is the bassinet for when they're a bit older/bigger? Thanks.

[@azawms]

Congratulations! I hppe it was helpful! I used the bassinet a lot when she was a newborn. It was really nice to be able to lay her down for short walks in the neighborhood, or when we're out by the pool side for instance. We used the carseat a lot too. Basically, the bassinet is helpful for newborn, carseat for first year and then the child's seat (bassinet configured) when they can sit up a little. good luck.

[@domg86]

Thank you so much!

[@princessvergara9022]

Does it have tray on the stroller for phone or other personal stuff ?

No it does not. You can buy a stroller caddy separately.

[@azawms]

It is working out great. I will be filming a video soon after 6 months of use.

[@michellesanchez1857]

I have this same stroller. The left wheel in the back makes noise and is wobbly. What I dislike the most is when I put my 6 month old in the stroller the straps hits the back of his head. There is no way to move them. I had to cut them out. And the small wheels in front are horrible

[@everydayeasyrecipes2650]

is the car seat only rear facing? Do you need to buy a new carseat after?

[@azawms]

It's an infant car seat, so yes rear facing only. You'll have to get a convertible car seat after but the CDC recommends for the child to be in a rear-facing seat for at least 2 years.

[@jamaicanblackqueen8897]

How is the suspension on the stroller. I live in Washington state and need like a terrain stroller travel system

[@azawms]

Hope you found it helpful. Honestly, the tire squeak problem DID come up for me but only after 1 year of use and it wasn't like really bad or anything like that - Just normal squeaking from the weight of a bigger baby and only on uneven surfaces. It wouldn't squeak on grocery store or tile floors. My hubby sprayed wd40 on it and it went away.

I can’t really comment on that because I haven’t used it yet. I’ll do an updated review in a few months but to be honest, people who complain also forget that this is a $300 stroller. It’s not perfect. It’s not made for heavier terrains and I don’t know how they’re using it. I plan to use this for grocery stores, light sidewalk walking, malls etc. So far, it maneuvers fine but again I can’t comment on the squeak over time.

Can the car seat face forward ?
