Evenflo Modular Travel System Overview – Stroller
The Evenflo Modular Travel System is a stylish and versatile baby travel system that has proven to be very popular with parents. Equipped with six different travel modes, these include infant car seat frame stroller, stroller seat, and carriage mode, with rear and front-facing options.
The stroller’s handlebar is located 40 inches above ground height. Foam-covered, its ergonomic design reduces wrist strain.
The 5-point front adjustable safety harness is height and length adjustable. Four harness height positions and three crotch buckle and hip-width positions will enable you to find the safest and most comfortable spot for your child. Buckle pockets prevent the fasteners from overheating in the sun and burning your little one’s tender skin.
The Evenflo Pivot Stroller has a removable infant insert pad which provides comfort and allows newborn babies to ride in carriage mode. When they outgrow it, it can be removed to give them more room. The stroller has a reinforced footwell, and it comes with a soft cover to keep your baby cozy on cold days.
A three-panel canopy provides total-coverage. It will protect your little one from the elements and provide darkness when they want to nap while out and about. A mesh peek-a-boo window with solid fabric cover allows mom or dad to lift the flap to see their baby. With no fastener or Velcro to fiddle with, you won’t have to stop walking to check on them, and you won’t have to worry about inadvertently waking them if they’re asleep.
When your child is old enough to support their neck and back, they can ride in toddler mode. Whichever setting you choose, your child can face in or out. Four incline options including totally flat will enable them to nap. This position is also handy for diaper changes. Adjusting the incline is quick and easy.
The Evenflo Pivot Modular Stroller has a trigger release system which makes it easy to fold. Just press the levers on either side of the handlebar, and the stroller will fold back on itself. You won’t even have to bend down to do this. If you want to leave the stroller folded, press another button to lock it in place, and it will stand upright and remain closed. At this point, it will be compact enough to store in a closet or the trunk of most carts, even small ones.
Two large 9″ rear cruiser tires and two smaller 7″ front wheels make for smooth rides regardless of the terrain you are traversing. The sturdy and durable plastic tires will never get a flat. The back wheels have brakes which lock and unlock independently.
Most of the components of the Evenflo Pivot Travel System wipe clean with a damp soapy cloth. The machine-washable seat pad can be machine or air-dried.
Other convenient features which parents love include a roomy under-seat storage basket with a reinforced base and mesh sides. There’s also a removable bumper bar with an integrated toddler snack tray and a cup holder for parents.
Evenflo Pivot Manual Travel System Overview – Car Seat
The Evenflo SafeMax Infant Car Seat with SafeZone Base is perfect for bringing your newborn home from the hospital and later taking them to visit friends and relatives around town.
Simulated tests have proven that the seat stays intact when exposed to energy levels twice that of Federal Crash Test Standard. An anti-rebound bar will absorb and decrease rebound movement in the event of a front-impact crash. It will also help to protect your child during side-impact and rollover events.
A rear-facing model, one-click is all it takes to install the seat into your car and to remove it. An integrated 2-step belt lock-off system takes out the guesswork and ensures that you mount the base correctly for maximum safety.
The car seat has a handlebar which allows you to carry it in the crook of an arm if desired.
