Evenflo infant travel systemItem: Evenflo - Circus Journey Elite Travel System
With the goal of trying to save money, we bought an infant travel system (stroller/car seat) at walmart. The best value we found was the Evenflo - Circus Journey Elite Travel System. I am not a huge fan of the circus theme, but my husband was. So, being the nice person that I am said we should go ahead and get it. It was $140, not bad compared to most travel systems.
After our chunky little daughter was born at over 9lbs and 22 inches, she was too big for the first size setting. He had brought it to the hospital as is, assuming the small setting was going to work, but she was just to big. Trying to adjust the size was almost impossible! After undoing clasps, pulling straps through holes and reinserting them it took us about 30minutes, Of course, it should not be simple, you want your baby to be as secure as possible. However, we do have other children. As they grew we had to adjust their straps as well, but it was nothing like the maze of getting these straps adjusted. The base was like all carseat bases, easy to install, and easy to pop the carseat in. It did not have a height adjustment, I remember our other ones having that, but it is not a big deal. All and all, the carseat is comfy, lots of leg room and easy to clean. The visor is horrible! It does not attach in the back in any sort of way, it just hangs there. Sometimes when we are hooking her in it falls down in the back and gets caught in the latch that hooks the seat to the base. Even worse, it falls forward and the material hangs in her face. I feel that this is a choking hazard, so I am going to buy her a new one. Starting out to save money is costing us more! However, the stroller is just fine. Just a basic stroller. Easy to put the carseat in, easy to open and close. It has cup holders and a tray which is very convient. Overall, I do not recommend this travel system. The carseat is difficult to adjust and the visor is a pain. You can find something better for that price. Rating: 5
