How the Shyft DualRide Infant Car Seat and Stroller Combo installs

Recline
5 recline positions. The recline angle is what keeps a young baby’s airway open, so set it before tightening the install.

Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.

Will it fit your car?

Evenflo does not publish a width for this seat, so measure your back seat and compare it with the seat in a store before buying. It weighs 29 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.

  • Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
  • Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
  • Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.

What features does the Shyft DualRide Infant Car Seat and Stroller Combo have?

  • Integrated stroller wheels (car seat converts to stroller)
  • SensorSafe (stated for core, Carryall Storage and Extended Canopy listings)
  • LockStrong belt tensioning
  • Quick Connectors
  • 5 recline positions

Is the Shyft DualRide Infant Car Seat and Stroller Combo recalled?

NHTSA currently lists one campaign naming this Evenflo family: 25C003000. A campaign names a family, not always every build, so check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture against the campaign itself.

I have not reviewed these campaigns for this model yet, so shopping links stay paused here.

Before you buy

  1. Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
  2. Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect; Evenflo lists 13 colors of this seat.
  3. Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
  4. Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Evenflo so you hear about the next one.
