Evenflo® Pivot Xpand™ Modular Travel System in Stallion

Very sturdy travel system but I wish it was lighter and easier to fold/unfold.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Stroller/Travel System to test out (with the help of my new baby!) in exchange for my honest feedback. The assembly of this sleek and modern looking travel system was very self explanatory, and the installation of the car seat base in my car was as easy as they come. The car seat seems comfy for my baby, and the insert keeps her head perfectly propped up and straight. The car seat connects into the base seamlessly, however the infant carrier is not as easy to connect into the stroller; you have to be extremely precise in the lining it up which is hard to do with the added weight of the baby in the car seat. I appreciate the stroller can be folded and stowed with the stroller seat attachment in place, and that you can use the stroller seat and infant carrier simultaneously, making it similar in function as a double stroller; perfect for families with an infant and toddler. The stroller navigates smoothly with a great turning radius, but the stroller is wide, so I have found it hard to get through tight spaces with it. Changing up the configurations with the stroller and the seats was not an easy task, again it is hard to line up the seats to click in to the stroller. My least favorite part of the system, which is so minor is the cup holder on the stroller. If you side swipe anything or knock the cup holder, it spins and dumps the drink. My absolute favorite feature is the storage basket. It is HUGE. Definitely the biggest undercarriage I have found, and perfect to take baby on shopping trips to forego having to use a cart. All in all, this travel system possesses the quality you can feel, and you won’t be disappointed. I definitely would (and have!) recommend this to family and friends, and YOU, too :)

I love the stroller but my newborn hates the car seat padding because it to small. Makes her look tight squished her shoulders.and I can’t remove the padding and she’s uncomfortable. Can’t go anywhere What can I do regarding this ???

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Pivot Xpand Modular Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat with Anti-Rebound Bar (Ayrshire Black) is absolutely amazing! It's the perfect size, not too big that it's bulky, but the perfect size for all your needs and then some. The quality itself is beautiful and very durable. Whether you're walking around a store or outside in different terrain the stroller will hold up. My kids were extremely comfortable in the car seat and the carriage, falling asleep in it everytime almost instantly. I've gotten numerous compliments on how stylist the travel system is! It's easy to maneuver and fold/unfold. One of the best stroller systems I've ever used, I definitely recommend to everyone! I received this product to try from Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this travel system for a few weeks now and I love it! A double stroller was not something that I was previously considering but the evenflo Pivot Xpand has changed my mind and overall stroller game. Whether it’s a quick trip with the car seat, a long walk with the bassinet or a trip with both kids in tow, the ease of moving between different configurations allows me choose the setup that best fits our activity. The all in one bassinet to toddler seat is definitely one of my favorite parts. With a newborn we use the bassinet most of the time, and I love that the stroller can be folded flat with it still attached and it doesn’t take up extra space in the trunk of our car. With two kids it’s great not needing to plan ahead and having the flexibility of using the car seat with the stroller and having the toddler seat for my older son. The stroller handles so well for our family and it easily navigated city sidewalks in all conditions. The under carnage storage basket is huge and fits out diaper bag and winter jackets with tons of room to spare. Both the stroller and the car seat were shipped in one box and was super easy to assemble. The car seat base installed quickly especially with the integrated belt lock off system and leveling system. Our petite newborn fits so well in the LiteMax car seat and I feel safe since it was easy to adjust the straps so she fit perfectly. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. It has made life with a newborn so much easier!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this travel system. I have a 2 year old and an infant and have used this stroller so far in so many combinations, as a single and as a double. By far my favorite thing about this system is its versatility and ease of use. To start, set up was super easy. It only took me a few minutes from opening the box to being fully set up. The instructions were clear but it was pretty self-explanatory even without them. For the infant seat, setting up the base in the car was straightforward and it was easy to get a tight fit. The seat itself is pretty lightweight, my infant seems comfortable in it, and it’s easy to put in and take out of the car. I do wish that the canopy glided open and closed a little smoother though and that it went down a little further to shield the baby. I also wish that the handle adjusted with a single button instead of having to use two hands but overall it’s a great infant seat. Appearance-wise, I love how the stroller looks. The black and silver are very sleek and modern and it honestly looks very similar to other higher-end strollers. The material feels nice to the touch and is easy to wipe down. Performance-wise, the stroller rides really smoothly and it’s easy to steer (though a little harder as a double but to be expected with all doubles). It performs super well on flat surfaces however it isn’t the best on uneven terrain like gravel due to the plastic tires but still works. Now to the versatility which I think is by far the best thing about this system. There are SO many ways to use this stroller as a single and as a double and it’s SO easy to switch between modes. I LOVE the built-in adapters to take it from a single to double. I have another single to double stroller and I hate that it requires additional adapters to make it a double and then once they’re added, it’s not easy to use as a single again. Even with two kids, I use a single stroller a decent bit still so I love that this stroller converts back and forth so easily. Similar to the built-in adapters, I LOVE how the regular seat fully reclines and expands to a carriage-like position for an infant without needing another piece! This is such a cool feature that I haven’t seen on many strollers. Other strollers require a separate, bulky carriage attachment that you have to purchase separately and then store when not in use which isn’t ideal. Being able to go from a normal seat to a fully reclined infant-ready seat is really a game changer for me. Thoughts on some of the other features. The storage basket is huge. It easily fits a jam packed diaper bag plus more. The handle bar is very comfortable and adjusts to different heights one-handed. While the canopy is ample, I do wish it had extendable panels for better shade for stroller naps. The stroller is easy to fold though it does require two hands but once folded, it stands on its own while is a great feature. I also like how easy the simple lever on the side makes unfolding the stroller. I don’t love that the belly bar either has to be completely on or off though. I wish you could unclip one side and swing it over to get your kid in or out and then clip it back. I also really like how easy the foot brake is to use and that it’s off to one side as opposed to in the middle like other strollers which can be kicked when walking. Overall, I think this is a fantastic travel system for this price point. For me, the versatility and ease of use are what really set it apart from other options out there. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this travel system, Evenflo Pivot Xpand, to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have a 6mo and very tall (90th percentile) 2.5yo, and am always pushing both around in a double stroller in the city and taking the stroller in and out of the car, so am always looking for better options for this cumbersome routine. Unfortunately this item came to me delivered with a broken part. The box was in tact, and everything was still covered in styrofoam and padding, so I don't know if it was shipping that led to it being broken, but I found one of the bottom second seat attachment pieces has broken off. This is quite troublesome as it doesn't look very sturdy to begin with compared to other second seat adapters I've seen, so I would have worried it would break with my kid in the second seat. I'm kind of glad that it broke before she got in, rather than her falling. This is supposed to be the benefit of this travel system, that you don't need an adapter attachment, but in actuality that is now a problem that I can't repair this easily by replacing it. Overall I really like the look of the black color. My favorite part is the canopy is easy to adjust higher which is a necessity for my tall toddler. I wish the handlebar lowest setting was shorter, it's a bit too high for me (5'2"). It's a bit bulky when folded down, and the seat bar protrudes out quite a bit. I also wish there was a way to only take off one side of the seat bar rather than both sides. The cushioning throughout, from car seat to toddler seat, seem like they could be thicker. It pushes smooth enough, the foot brake is very easy to use. The car seat was easy to install. All in all, a decent option, except I wasn't able to try it out with two seats because the bottom adapter is broken.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pivot Xpand Modular Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat with the anti-rebound bar is a great stroller/car seat combo item! This item is great for one infant or toddler, or for one infant and one toddler. I loved the look of the stroller, although I wished the wheels had some more weight to them to make them feel sturdier. The stroller and infant car seat were very lightweight and easy to push/carry around. The easy snap in and snap out modular system made it easy to use on-the-go and to switch between configurations at any point needed. The infant car seat was simple to install and easy enough to switch between my car and the babies grandparents car as needed too! Its lightweight l quality made it ideal for grandpa and grandma to carry the infant car seat around unlike other ones we have tried in the past. I had a few favorite features of this item including the “included” cup holder and the user friendly (for ANY shoe) flip flop brake. It was simple to push down or up and ideal for use with any type of shoe! I also loved the large sun shade cover for the infant car seat and included toddler seat. It provided lots of shade for the kiddos and kept them sheltered from the sun and wind. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this item, I’ll now get to continue using it for our family outings, and every kid will have a comfy place to sit/lay!
