How do u like it otherwise, in terms of comfort or overall quality
it depends on each baby; however, in our case, we had Graco one for our first child and we did never had issues while traveling. we got this for our second one and it was sort of small and second one was always uncomfortable. switched to old car seat even though it's not recommended and second one is less fussy now. I'm not sure if others had similar experiences.
The MSRP on this thing when we got one was $400. The carseat portion has been more or less fine, but the stroller is criminally low quality. From the first week we had it the wheels squeak loudly endlessly. I tried all kinds of lubricants to get the sound to stop but nothing worked. At one point at a museum one of the wheels failed. The snap ring on the wheel shaft let go and I to my complete shock and disgust $400 doesn't even get you proper bearings. It's just a rod in a plastic wheel. No wonder it's difficult to push. I took pictures when I was fixing it when I got home. I wish I knew how to post them here so everybody could see.
Like I said we've had the thing for almost a year and all that experience we still have not figured out how to get the bucket to snap into the stroller reliably. You have to line up both sides perfectly and drop them at the exact same time and if you ever drop it in on the first try, you immediately in doubt that it's in properly because it almost never drops incorrectly on the first try. One side will drop in and the other one won't line up on the mount point and you have to fully movement and try to drop it back in. Whenever we get out of the car, it's like a two person operation. You can't really both mountain points at the same time and so Mom holds one side and I hold the other and we line up our sides and coordinate dropping it in. Every. Single. Time. It is just a complete piece of s***.
It looks like Evenflo is aware of this and rather than revising it. They have just reposted the product to Amazon because when we got it, it was new in the box but secondhand so we couldn't return it. With the problems we were having we went and looked at the reviews on Amazon and it had like 3 1/2 stars with hundreds of reviews. This link above only shows two reviews with one at five stars and one at one star. It looks like instead of fixing the problem they're just trying to scrub the poor review history. I never had a problem with Evenflo products, but I will never buy one again after this.
But there are issues as another poster said. Yes the wheels will eventually start squeaking. I got about 6 months before that happened. But maybe it depends on how often you use it. The major issue I have that feels incredibly unsafe is you can't simply drop the car seat on the stroller and have it guide itself inti place (my chicco bravo from my last kid was like this). But there are two tabs you have to align perfectly. Otherwise baby will fall. Again we know about it so we always check it's secure before letting go. But if you were in a rush and had maybe a little one whose hand you are holding, you will absolutely cannot easily attach it. I have to use two hands and slowly drop it in place check both sides for alignment. Absolutely stupid design.
