Evenflo Shyft DualRide Car Seat Base

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a struggle at times to remove when in stroller mode unlike car seat mode

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works great but slightly pricey exp after paying almost 500 just for the carrier I had to pay another almost 200 for the base but seems like good quality

Don't waste your money. The whole purpose of purchasing an additional base was so that we could remove the wheels on the car seat without having to pass the original base from car to car. This accessory base does NOT make it so the wheels can be taken off the car seat. It is extremely frustrating and a waste of a lot of money, especially when you can already secure the car seat with the car's seatbelt and not need a base. What was the point of making an additional base available to purchase if we can't remove the wheels, Evenflo??

We love the 2nd base for our carseat. Such a convenience having it

Frustrating that it does not operate like the original base that allows for stroller portion to be left in the base and only the carrier be removed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Stellar Product Testing for my Accessory Base! This additional base makes moving baby from my car to my spouses car a breeze! Though the Evenflo Shyft Dualride can buckle into the vehicle without a base, the wheel wells built into the base keeps our cars neat and tidy as we travel during our frequent snow and inclement whether days.

Works great, silly it took so long to be released, and the cost is even more ridiculous. But they know we need it. Works as expected though. Haha

I can’t just detach the carseat from the wheels while attached to base which makes it a pain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got the Shyft DualRide car seat/stroller combo I was so bummed there wasn’t a separate base to purchase. I was so excited for this base! Set up was so fast and I love that you can use this base with the wheels off and on. However, my issue was when I had the carseat on with the wheels on. When the wheels are on and it’s on the base, I could not get the carseat to detach from the wheels (I was just trying to keep the wheels on the base). I looked in the manual and it says it is possible to do this, but I tried multiple times and it never worked to detach the car seat from the wheels when locked in the base. It worked fine when I used just the car seat and no wheels. Super bummed this didn’t work as smooth as I had hoped. Great idea but not reliable or as easy as it should be for me to recommend for busy parents. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for this opportunity to try it!

Purchased this item expecting to receive a base that would allow you to use your stroller as advertised. Sadly they decided to make the base almost obsolete. You cannot detach the carrier from the wheels which defeats the entire purpose of the stroller. Why not just sell a product that actually works properly which is already produced when you receive your original dualshyft. Was going to return but they also put the return mailing charge on you. Overall very poor experience which is disappointing because I’m a big fan of Evenflo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The extra base for the Shyft Dualride is a great convenience for families who need to switch between caregivers or vehicles frequently. having an additional base, definitely made transition smoother, eliminating the need to reinstall the main base every time. However, I’ve noticed that the anchor belts tend to loosen overtime, so I make it a habit to check and tighten it at least once a week to ensure my baby is securely fastened. I’ve used the base both ways with the wheels attached and just as a car seat. Personally, I found that is more convenient for us to keep it working as a stroller because we are out of the car and going within seconds. But I appreciate the choice to leave it the wheels if we ever needed. Installing the base was fairly straightforward, but I did run into some challenges using it in a smaller compact car. Due to the size and angle required for proper alignment, the first passenger seat is far forward, which could be inconvenient, especially for taller passengers. In a larger vehicle, this would not be an issue, but it’s something to consider for those with smaller cars. Another ick with having the smaller car and what I was most hesitant about this dual car seat/stroller combo was the fact that the dirty wheels would be inside the car. The base comes with a dirt collector tray which has been helpful to catch the crumbs, but the wheels touch soooo much when going into the car, especially then the center arm rest is down and I am trying to align he wheels to the base. The seat has quite a bit of scuff marks which is a huge bummer! Let’s end on a positive note. The best part about having an extra base is the time and effort we are saving! It’s a huge help during busy days going between mom and dad‘s car. Just click in and out for both cars, just great! Overall, despite the need for occasional anchor belt checks, the overall convenience outweighs the minor adjustments needed. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with a note to check the anchor belt regularly and ensure compatibility with your cars space. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat accessory.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved having a second base for my car seat. Before receiving this from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, It was very time consuming moving the base from my vehicle to my husband’s vehicle, and we were starting to worry about the carseat messing up the seat from constant friction if we didn’t move the base back and forth. (Not to mention I didn’t feel that safe using only the seat belt path on the care seat.) Now that we have a base for each vehicle it is a breeze switching vehicles. The base is very versatile and allows for easy and quick installation. I love that it has a place that protects the seat from the wheels and dirt etc. It also has two modes where you can use it with and without the wheels. I tested it for both with the wheels off and wheels on but I mainly use my car seat with the wheels because I am always on the go! I would definitely recommend this base if you have multiple vehicles or babysitter, etc. it definitely gives me a peace of mind hearing the click of the car seat into the base and knowing that my baby won’t be going nowhere if we were to have a wreck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Evenflo Shyft DualRide Accessory Base is a convenient option for families who frequently switch vehicles, but it has some notable drawbacks that may make it less appealing. On the positive side, installation is relatively straightforward, and having an extra base can save time if you’re frequently moving between card. However there are a few negatives. Unlike the primary base that comes with the Shyft DualRide system, this accessory base does not allow you to remove the wheels from the car seat. This means that when docking the seat, the wheels remain attached, making it bulkier and less streamlined than expected. Additionally, the design of this base is different from the original, which might not be clear when purchasing. The leveling mechanism can also be tricky to adjust properly, and given the price, it feels like it should offer more functionality. Overall, while it can be useful for multi-car households, the inability to remove the wheels and the differences from the original base might make this a disappointing purchase for some. If you’re expecting a seamless duplicate of the primary base, this may not be the best. I will continue trying to make use of this as it has potential. Thank you to Stellar Product testing panel for the gracious opportunity to test the accessory base!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a parent frequently transitioning between vehicles, the Evenflo Shyft DualRide Accessory Base has been indispensable. Prior to acquiring this additional base, moving the car seat between cars was cumbersome and time-consuming. Now, with an extra base installed in our second vehicle, the process is seamless and efficient. Installation Experience: The base features a straightforward latch system, making installation quick and secure. Even without prior experience, I found the setup intuitive, taking approximately 10 minutes. The clear instructions provided ensured confidence in the safety and stability of the installation. Usage and Convenience: This accessory base has significantly simplified our daily routines. Transferring the car seat between vehicles is now a simple click-in process, eliminating the need for repeated installations. This convenience is particularly beneficial during busy mornings or when coordinating with different caregivers. Pros: Time-Saving Reduces the hassle of reinstalling the car seat for each vehicle transfer. User-Friendly Clear instructions and intuitive design make installation accessible for all users. The Evenflo Shyft DualRide Accessory Base is a worthwhile investment for families utilizing multiple vehicles. It enhances the practicality of the car seat system, ensuring quick, secure, and hassle-free transfers. I highly recommend this accessory to parents seeking to streamline their travel routines.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for an additional base for the Evenflo Dualride this is what you need but not necessary what you want. The base is easy to install just as the original base that comes with the Dualride. It has a feature to be able to install the car seat with or without the wheels. I used it to travel and it was great to have a base and not have to worry about removing the original base from my car. My biggest problem is that you cannot remove the car seat from the wheels in this base. This was a bummer for me because one of the reasons I chose this car seat was the ability to remove the wheels. I’m not sure why they didn’t think of keeping that feature on this base. If I would be able to remove the base without the wheels this would’ve been the perfect base. But if it is nice to be able to install the car seat without the wheels when transferring vehicles. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat accessory.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received an extra base for the Shyft Dualride carseat from being a reviewer on the stellar panel. There were many positives about this base. First and foremost is having 2 of them. My husband drives the kids to daycare when I work, in addition to other random trips, and we would often trade cars to not have to move the car seat. But having a second makes the logistics of a week so much easier. Second, the car seat is very convenient in that it can dock with or without the wheels. This again makes logistics easier. Third, the base itself is a great product. Its well built, fairly easy yo install, feels solid, and latches easily. That all said, the one negative is the wheel wells. Those look and feel cheaper and I feel like they will eventually break. With the quality of the product, those pieces just dont seem to fit in. Overall its a great base and its even better having 2!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I were thrilled to learn about the option of having a second base for our Evenflo Shyft DualRide. Before having the accessory base, we were either limited to using one car or had to secure it with the seatbelt which isn't conducive for everyday outings. This is a game changer for us! We find that we mostly always use the base with the wheels attached; however we love the option of being able to just use the infant carrier! Installation was a breeze and took us less than 5 minutes using LATCH. The accessory base operates a little differently than the original and does not allow you to stow away the wheels. If the wheels are still on the seat when using this base and you want to pop them off, you'll need to do that with the original base. Despite this, we didn't feel that it took away from the over functionality. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing the car seat base in exchange for our honest review!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat base from the stellar product testing panel in exchange for my honest review. I have to say I appreciated the extra base as it is different from the base that came with the original car seat and stroller. You are able to clip the car seat directly into this base with or without the stroller, making it even more convenient for car rides that won’t involve the stroller (and thus keeping it lighter to move). I don’t mind personally always having the wheels clicked in because you never know when you might need them, but the ability to switch that way is nice. It’s easy to install and of course having a base in each car is VERY convenient so we don’t have to worry about having the correct car for trips or when grandparents are babysitting. It’s easy to install, so grandparents don’t have to leave it installed when they don’t have the baby. Overall, it makes life quite a bit easier! I’ve already recommended this system to a family looking for an easy travel system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had our hearts set on the Evenflo Shyft Dualride since we found out we were pregnant, the only thing that was missing was the extra base. We were so excited to find out that there was finally an option to have an extra one! We were constantly switching the base between each of our vehicles, so having the extra base made things so much easier and took the guesswork out of the already hectic task of leaving the house with a baby in tow. We've used the new base in all kinds of ways, with and without the wheels! We find when we move the entire system with the wheels works best for us as we're always on the go, shopping, or out and about with our little (big) guy and need somewhere safe for him to rest. The bar to switch the base from with and without wheels was so nice and easy to use as well! Installing the base was easy and quick. We installed it once in my car and once in Dad’s just to test it out in both and found it is just like the original base and easy to move in and out to clean or to put in a third vehicle. What we liked most about this base is the versatility. Our baby is in daycare, so if we know we need a grandparent to pick him up, we can easily leave one base at the daycare and still have a base in our car, which makes our routine so much easier! In conclusion, while I was given this car seat accessory to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel - I would definitely buy it had we not been selected for the review. It truly takes a village to raise a baby. This makes the village run a little smoother when transportation is involved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel, having an extra base for my Evenflo Shyft Dualride car seat made transferring my baby girl so much easier and smoother! Installation was really simple with the easy to read instructions! I love that I could transfer with or without the wheels when dropping her off to the sitter before a long work day! Being able to transfer the wheels to this base makes me so happy! I use the wheel function a lot as a single mom, it’s super easy! My favorite thing about this extra base is that it can be used without the wheels too! I love this base so much and so does my baby girl!
