Would love to hear your thoughts on this.. I think we are going with the Evenflo Shyft carseat - Venice Child Ventura stroller combo. The shyft disconnects from the wheels, leaving them in the base which seems useful for most non-travel times. Essentially, we would only use it as a true carseat/stroller combo when necessary and when we travel to prevent wear and tear on those wheels and using the stroller most of the time. The stroller package we like comes with carseat adapters, 2nd seat adapters, a toddler seat, and a bassinet. Leaning towards the evenflo 360 for the next carseat option once the shyft is outgrown and then the toddler seat in the Ventura will be used.
I don't know much about the Ventura, but I assume the car seat adapter is compatible with the Shyft. With that in mind, I think this combo is very clever, especially if you need the utility of the Shyft. If not, you could start out with the Evenflo 360 and use the bassinet with the Ventura. It might make sense to wait and see what NHTSA determines in their Evenflo 360 investigation anyway.
An infant seat with wheels and stroller legs would drive me crazy! We have an Uppa Baby Cruz (old 2017 version) that we love and still use for our eight year old daughter to ride in at places like the grocery or theme parks (she is still just barely under the weight limit). How hard is it to click an infant car seat into a compatible stroller? Then you can still use the stroller with the regular stroller seat in it after. I’ve always thought that the Doona carseat/stroller looked like a bulky headache that was heavy and the infant seat with wheels just seems awkward.
It is difficult to just get by with the Doona as you can't use it for more than 2 hours at a time, as it is not recommended to have your child in an infant car seat that does not recline for more than 2 hours as it will hurt their back. So if you want to take your baby for walks you either need to always be thinking of the time your child is in the Doona or have another stroller with a bassinet for long walks. This is why although I was sure I would buy a Doona, after doing research it just seems like a waste of money.
@@PabbotBaby I think it’s just in Europe if I’m not mistaken as I’ve talked with some parents from the US and they couldn’t find it there. Maybe since then they got it on the US market. Cheers 🤗
Thanks for taking the time to chat about this! 👏
Our pleasure!

Uppababy Cruz is such a quality stroller.

They have the new Doona X that reclines. I do agree though, even with that, not the best for stroller for long outings.
