Is it troublesome clicking out the evenflo out of the base? One of my friends purchased it and she said they where always having problems taking it out of the base. So I was wondering if they just made a mistake on hers or if it was all of them.
I had the doona my baby hated it. She wouldn’t stop crying. The position is very upright. And it’s not roomy enough. I got the Evenflo dual ride gold. She loves it!!!! She falls asleep while in the car instead of crying!!!!!
Do you have any recommendations for compact strollers to use as an alternative to these? I was interested in getting one of these but am worried they will be to heavy to get in and out of the car for me. I was curious if you had a recommendation on a stroller/car seat combo to use instead that will face you (bonus if it has a bassinet too) . I am looking for a compact stroller to fit in the back seat of my Forester instead of in the trunk for everyday use like the Doona and Dual Ride would be used. Thanks in advance, first time Mom and trying to figure out what to register for.
I look for something like the City Select by Baby Jogger, Uppababy Vista, maybe Mockingbird where you can take the seats on and off and do backwards and forward with the seats. I know there are cheaper ones just like that now. Then you would have a separate frame that you'd toss in the trunk.
They’re not a strollers, they’re car seats…the wheels are only to move baby from car to inside. Baby shouldn’t be in these all day as you would use a stroller. Same as any other infant car seat, babies should only be in them during car rides, not pushes around on a stroller base.
@@LegendaryDeGreat wait but for younger babies you're REQUIRED to use a car seat and attach it to a stroller if you wanna use a stroller (until they can sit up by themselves) so whats the difference?
@@leasielou no, you should use a bassinet stroller so baby can lay flat. Strollers that recline completely flat are also an option. You should not use a car seat outside of riding in the car 🫶 *(referring to a baby that cannot sit up unassisted)
@@leasielou Actually, you should be using a bassinet stroller, not a car seat attachment until 3 to 6 months old, especially if they are sleeping in the stroller.
Which one of these are you leaning towards?
Just bought the Evenflo today. Thanks for the video. This helped a lot with my decision.
Yay! I hope you love it.

Perhaps because my version was purchased a month ago, but this is not needed with mine.
So the Doona's advantages are first mover and lighter?

Graco now has their version. It LOOKS like it was thrown together to compete with these.
Do you have any idea for the strollers for twins of the brand doona?
I don't, but I have seen parents use two Doonas and hook them together. Not sure how though.

@@analyticalchick3064 you would still need car seats! The nice thing about those strollers are the seats can face toward you or away!
I never moved my handle to carrier mode for my Doona.
Yeah...I eventually started doing that too. It is just easier!
How much does the evenflo carrier itself weigh without the wheels attached?
11 pounds
Have you tried the new improved, Doona X?
Not yet! It’s not in the US yet. They said it should be in the next 8-12 months.
Could you share how much your baby weighed at birth? I heard you say 13th percentile. Mine is 10th right now and we are worried. Thanks!
I was getting the Dona now I don’t like either
I don’t like either one of them because it doesn’t have any storage on the bottom

@@LegendaryDeGreatthe brand tittle say Evenflo Gold Shyft Dualride With Carryall Storage Car Seat & Stroller,
shame Evenflo Shyft Dualride no available in UK so will take Doona about £229 now in offer
Doona is not approved in Canada, the evenflo is!
My evenflo wheels don't fold anymore
How long did you have it?
@yasmincook9975 for a few months my daughter was born April 6 of this year
I have experienced the same issue my wheels get stuck when needing to close.
@adrianaalcaraz9421 and I only had it for 3 months my last daughter is 3 months now I might have to get a new stroller
Same issue. Had to return mine because the wheels were getting stuck. Now im debating on if I should get the Evenflo or stay with the Doona
