Evenflo - Shyft DualRide Infant Car Seat Stroller Combo

I'm using an Evenflo Dual Ride Shyft for carseat/stroller. The convenience is amazing! It's so nice not having to lug around a separate stroller. When people see me convert it from a carseat to stroller with the push of a button they think it's the coolest thing. My baby is 5.5 months and we're still using it. The only big con is it's heavy if you're using it in carrier mode with the wheels on. I have an Evenflo Revolve 360 on stand by when he outgrows the Dualride.

I love love love the Evenflo Dualride Shyft. The convenience of being able to instantly convert from carseat to stroller is amazing. I have a small car so I love not having to lug around a separate stroller. I will be sad when my son outgrows it.

I love love love the Evenflo Shyft. The convenience is amazing. My baby is 6 months now and I'm dreading the day he outgrows it because I love it so much.

Ooo I went on from rebel and ordered the Evenflo shyft dualride. SO CONVENIENT. I like it better than the full travel system I had with my fist. I think I got it for like $460 on there.

Definitely travel system or a great car seat in general. I want one of the rotating ones because my back sucks, being able to turn the seat to me to buckle the baby in everyday would be amazing. If I didn’t already have bougie stroller, I would definitely do a travel system with the rotating seat. Or a Doona or Evenflo Shyft where the car seat turns into a stroller with the rotating seat isn’t a thing you’re interested in. Next to that it’s definitely nursery furniture.

If you want something similar to the Doona, I suggest the Evenflo Shyft dual ride. It’s a bit higher so if you’re a taller guy you don’t have to bend down like the Doona. Also, I think it’s has more space for the LO. We used it for my son until he was a bit older than 1, and he’s on the higher percentile. Plan to use it for my daughter who’s due in a few months.

I’m similar to you - I went extremely low buy and prioritized convertible and second hand items. Not only do I hate having a lot of stuff, but I live in a 100 year old home in New England with basically no storage. Anything I bought for the baby has to be visible 95% of the time, which meant I was really careful. Absolute yesses: - Clothing: Second hand, always. I single handedly keep my local Once Upon a Child in business! The prices for new onesies are abysmal, like $30, but second hand they’re like $3. And the baby is just going to vomit and poop all over it anyway. - Car seat: We bought the Evenflo Shyft Dualride, which doubles as a stroller. Didn’t buy an extra stroller for the first year. It’s FAA compliant so it was an absolute lifesaver at airports. We traveled to Hawaii, Texas, and Mexico. Highly recommend. Now we’re on the Evenflo 360, also recommend. Saves my back. - Wooden baby playpen: you won’t need it until they’re mobile, but having a baby jail was so necessary. It’s huge, so I bought one that looks nice. Second hand off FB Marketplace of course. - Babywearing: Ergobaby embrace. MVP. Eventually upgraded to a LennyLamb onbuhimo, another MVP. r/babywearing - Breastfeeding: surprisingly the thing I bought the most stuff for. Bought the Spectra, and then the Momcozy wearable pump. Spectra was good, but I couldn’t get the hang of the wearable. I still believe in the possibility though - next time I might spring for the Willow. Couldn’t stomach the cost though. - Snot sucker: love. - Rocking chair: total splurge, but I lived in that thing. - My Brest Friend: Yes you could technically use blankets and pillows, but it was such a relief to be able to strap that thing on and not worry about it. You’re already up at 3am half asleep, don’t make it too hard on yourself. Absolute nos: - Diaper genie: or any other type of diaper receptacle. Ours go straight in the trash, and the trash goes out daily. - Pack and play: ours is collecting dust. We never got the hang of using it - we just bought a big wooden baby playpen off of FB Marketplace and lock her up in there. - Fancy stroller: once she outgrew the Shyft Dualride, we bought a rinky dinky foldable umbrella stroller. Works fine, although she’s outgrowing it at 18 months now. - diaper changing station: change her on the floor and it’s no problem. - diaper bag: potentially controversial! I keep all the diaper extras in my car and use a fanny pack to bring a few diapers, wipes, and cream with us. I’m not into hauling a bunch of stuff around.

The snoo bassinet was worth every penny and I was able to use it for two kids and resell it once I was done. The momcozy bottle washer, veer wagon, way B pico, BOB jogging stroller, Nuna Travl and Evenflo dual shyft have all been lifesavers. These items were acquired across two kids btw.

If I had to start over, I would choose the even Flo dual shift, and a mocking bird that can convert to a double. I was one and done when we had my daughter, so I got the Doona and I love it but the even Flo seems easier as you can take the wheels off and click it in to a stroller!!!

I have the evenflo dual shyft - super similar to doona BUT I have the option to take the seat out of the stroller which is lovely!

I second this plus I found it way cheaper than the Doona

I have two strollers but one doubles as a car seat (the evenflo dual shyft). The dual shyft is great for quick in and outs of stored and appointments and I have a uppababy V2 Cruz for longer leisurely strolls (as babies shouldn’t be in a car seat for too long). If you can find the V2 Cruz cheap, I definitely recommend it & get the infant insert!
