Evenflo® Pivot Xpand™ Modular Travel System in Percheron

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the Pivot Xpand Modular Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat with Anti-Rebound Bar as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, I would recommend this stroller as a budget friendly, safe, double stroller. The packaging was very efficient. The box included the entire stroller system, toddler seat, car seat, and accessories packed in a very tight manner not to waste any space. I was able to put together the entire stroller system in under 15 minutes. It was very intuitive as I tried to put it together and play with it first before reading about all the possible configurations. This ease of setup and use is great if a grandmom or second caregiver is borrowing it without a manual and directions. Accessories such as a bottom basket/bin and a drink holder were included as well. The car seat carrier came with a base, allowing an easy clip in and out when you reach your destination. The car seat could either be installed via a seatbelt or the anchorage system. I utilized the anchorage system and it was an easy install. There is a color recline indicator to assess for safety of install which I appreciated. I love the softness of the infant insert material in the car seat, but the majority of the material in the car seat seems a bit rough and am worried it may cause a little friction or sweating from my infant when used in the summer. I also did not love the chest clip, as it was difficult to open and close. The perk of the clip is it would be safe for infant Houdini's that often get themselves unstrapped: however I struggled to quickly open and close the buckle. Otherwise, the car seat was functional, safe, well padded, and easy to install and check for safety. The anti- rebound bar is another pertinent safety feature. The travel system easily converts from a single to a double stroller with a simple click of a button. My favorite part of the system is that no adapters or additional parts are needed - which is great if you’re switching the system between caregiver cars. Parents have enough to remember when leaving the house so it is a perk that the stroller has this “built in” feature. The Pivot Xpand is an easy open and close for getting in and out of the car and both the car seat and toddler seat clip in easily and quickly. There are so many configurations for the seating with this system, it would be great for newborn twins through growing siblings. The seats can face the caregiver or out to the surroundings, based on child preference. The toddler seats convert to carriages with 3 easy snaps, which is amazing if going somewhere for a lengthy period and the infant needs a safe sleep surface. The seat converts to a flat bassinet or carriage with a canopy without needing an additional piece of equipment. The canopies are adjustable so as the child grows it can be adjusted to provide for additional height. There is a mesh window for checking on the child, and the footrest is adjustable for multiple positions to baby comfort. The handlebar is also adjustable to caregiver height. The system came with a bumper bar which is nice to utilize for infant toys as well. It’s easy to take on and off, but it’s not built in, so this in an additional piece of equipment you would have to remember to bring with you. The cup holder was an included accessory which is great, however it does seem to be a little unstable. The location is a little lower than I would ideally like it or than is typically seen on a parent console; however it appears to be more out of reach for the child as well which could be a bonus. The system’s canopies appear a bit flimsy. It is great that they are height adjustable, but they seemed a little less durable than I would have liked when adjusting them. They appear to provide good shade and protection, but I would be hesitant to adjust them often. Overall the ride is smooth on both street, grass, and dirt, however when used as a double stroller with a toddler in the bottom seat, it is a little difficult to get up uneven terrain or small edges of a curb. The system folds easily and quickly and is light to lift into the trunk of a vehicle. My children were comfortable in multiple configurations of this travel system and I loved all of the options provided. My favorite part of the system, as mentioned previously, was that no additional adapters were needed, and that the stroller can be used in both toddler or carriage mode. It is compact and fits easily through a standard doorway with 2 children. It is not the sturdiest travel system I have encountered, but it appears comfortable, safe, adjustable, and easy to put together and use. It has a large height and weight range allowing it to be used for a growing family for several years. I am happy I was on the Product Testing Panel and I would recommend the Pivot Xpand Travel System.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pivot Xpand Travel System is a great option for any family especially if you're thinking about multiple children. It comes with everything you would need for your LO (and potentially even a second LO down the road) right out of the box: infant car seat, easy install base, stroller and toddler seat. I have two kids (an infant and a toddler) and it’s great that this system comes with everything I would need for both of them for about a year. One of my favorite features of the Pivot Xpand is that it has so many different configurations. I can face my LO toward me or let her look out at the world around her. I can leave her in the infant seat and attach it right to the stroller if she’s sleeping or put her in the toddler seat to give her practice sitting since it reclines. I love the fact that the toddler seat also transforms into a bassinet. My LO loves napping in it and switching is as easy as 3 side release buckles. I find this is normally an add on for other brands. The fabric is a little stiff, but that could be because it’s new. My toddler said it was a comfy seat, so that was a plus. The next thing I love is how easy and accessible the storage basket is. It is quite large and I find there is never an issue grabbing my diaper bag out or putting it back in. The cup holder is also nice, but I would really love it if the toddler seat had a tray instead of a belly bar. I like that the seat also has a very large canopy and it provides enough cover for almost any situation. The stroller fold is a little tough, the buttons kind of stick a little, but the fact that it stands on its own is a lifesaver. The stroller is also very lightweight but still feels sturdy. I wish the fold was more compact since the stroller and the seats take up most of my trunk, it leaves very little room for anything else. I also wish the stroller was easier to push. I found it difficult to navigate using one hand and that you really had to steer with both hands and a lot of effort. My husband didn’t have this issue though, so it probably depends on the person. The infant car seat is super lightweight which makes carrying it around a breeze. However, I don’t like that you have to rethread the harness whenever you need to adjust it. One of the things that I am most afraid of is not putting my LO in properly and having to thread the harness isn’t particularly easy, which makes me think I’m going to make a mistake. I also wish the car seat came with covers for the harness to provide my LO with a little more comfort. I felt like she just sat weird in the seat and looked uncomfortable. The easy install base was pretty simple to install in my car and made for getting the infant seat in and out quick and simple. Overall, I think this travel system is a great buy. It has a lot of options and features that come at a premium price for other similar systems. I like the versatility of the Pivot Xpand and that it grows with my family. I wish it had a few more quality of life improvements, but it really checks a lot of needs and wants off my list when looking for a complete travel system. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system to try out.
