Stepping Into Spring: Evenflo Sibby Travel System Review

Disclosure: Thank you to Evenflo for kindly sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own.

You know how I love finding new amazing baby products? Well, you’re in for a treat today! With spring in full effect over here, we are spending way more time outdoors, and we were in desperate need of an affordable stroller for two. The double strollers are great, but most are super expensive and super bulky. I wanted something a little on the smaller scale and something less than $200.  Evenflo has always been one of my favorite baby brands, but I had no clue they made strollers until recently. Enter the Evenflo Sibby Travel System .

Evenflo Sibby Travel System Review

People, this stroller is amazing! When it arrived, the assembly was extremely simple. It comes with the stroller, the LiteMax baby car seat, a car seat base for the car, and a ride-along board. But wait, there’s more! There’s also a cup holder! You know you’re a mom when you get excited about a cup holder being an included accessory. The bottom storage compartment is also huge and can easily hold your diaper bag and shopping bags.

The other day, we had some errands to run at the mall and some shops, and Charlotte had a blast riding along with Colin. She’s big enough to walk on her own, but this stroller helped me keep her close to me at all times because she thinks the ride-along board is the coolest thing ever.

Since Colin is seven months old, he’s still small enough to be toted around in his car seat, but I wanted him to try sitting in the stroller for the first time. He had a blast being able to see everything. It’s like a whole new world once your baby crosses the milestone of being strong enough to sit up on his or her own. The seat can recline and be adjusted, which is a huge plus.

More perks…

The Sibby Travel System  is super light-weight, and the ride-along board is a must-have for toddlers or preschoolers. The ride-along board can easily be stored away when not in use and is a breeze to take on and off. Folding and storing a stroller is always a task, but not for this one. You just lift and fold, and it fits perfectly in our trunk. I think this would be perfect for traveling, too. If you have a baby and a preschooler, this stroller needs to be in your arsenal.

We also tried the stroller out with Colin in his car seat, and it snaps into place snuggly and securely. He loves it this way, too. ;) Belle approves as well.

I think this stroller system is such a great buy under 200 dollars, even if you don’t have two children just yet. It’s great quality, sleek, and classy. You can find it on Evenflo’s website , and the shipping is free for this one. Let me know what you think if you end up buying one for you and your littles. Charlotte said so.

The Best Bassinet Strollers To Stroll With Newborns Comfortably

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

If you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury and comfort for your newborn, look no further than a bassinet stroller. The best bassinet strollers can make life with a newborn much easier, especially if you have a baby who doesn’t like their infant car seat, which many parents attach to the stroller as part of a travel system. “Bassinet strollers are a great option for parents of newborns because they offer a safe and comfortable sleeping and strolling area for babies who can't roll or sit up,” says Sarah Huff, baby gear product expert at Babyquip .

The best bassinet strollers let your newborn nap on the go.

Extra features and high-end finishings abound in the bassinet stroller market today, so before you begin shopping, consider what qualities are important to you in the bassinet and in the stroller overall. Common features include sun-protective canopies, parent cup holders, machine-washable fabrics, one-handed folds, adjustable handlebars and the option to purchase a bassinet stand. Our top pick for the best bassinet stroller is the Uppababy Cruz V2 , which has a very smooth push to limit how much your baby gets jostled around, and the bassinet has a UPF 50 sunshade and a bug shield. I also named it the best stroller overall after testing 15 of the best strollers .

• Best Bassinet Stroller Overall: Uppababy Cruz V2 Stroller
• Best Budget Bassinet Stroller: Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System with Litemax Infant Car Seat
• Best Single-To-Double Bassinet Stroller: Bugaboo Donkey 5
• Best Travel Bassinet Stroller: Joolz Aer+ Stroller + Bassinet Bundle
• Best Splurge Bassinet Stroller: Silver Cross Wave
• Best Bassinet Stroller For Sleep: Nuna Mixx Next Stroller And Bassinet

Best Bassinet Stroller Overall

The smooth ride won’t jostle your baby, uppababy cruz v2 stroller.

Stroller weight: 25.5 pounds | Weight limit: 50 pounds | Dimensions: 16.5 x 22.8 x 33 inches (folded); 37.5 x 22.8 x 40 inches (unfolded) | One-handed fold: No

After testing over 15 strollers, from sleek travel strollers to pricey double strollers, the Uppababy Cruz V2 remains one of the best overall, and it’s compatible with a bassinet attachment (which you’ll need to purchase separately). The stroller is incredibly easy to push and has high-end finishings. The storage basket is rather large, giving you plenty of room to store all those newborn necessities. Because this stroller pushes so smoothly, it’s one of the most comfortable ones for babies to ride in; they won’t be bumped and jostled around as much as they would in other strollers. “I recommend the Uppababy bassinet stroller because it is big, firm, well made and adheres to all the guidelines for safe baby sleep practices,” says Daniel Ganjian , M.D., FAAP, board certified pediatrician. 

The bassinet is safe for babies up to 20 pounds or until they are pushing up on their hands and knees. It has an extendable UPF 50 sunshade, a cover you can pull across the bassinet, a machine-washable mattress cover and a vented base and mattress for breathability. The the bassinet comes with a bug shield, and you can purchase a bassinet stand separately as well. This allows you to even use this bassinet for overnight sleep. If you plan on extending your family in the future or already have an older child, you might want to opt for the similar UppaBaby Vista V2 that can accommodate two children.

Best Budget Bassinet Stroller

The stroller seat turns into a bassinet, evenflo pivot modular travel system with litemax infant car seat.

Stroller weight: 38 pounds | Weight limit: 50 pounds | Dimensions: 26 x 19.5 x 40 inches (folded); 25.5 x 47 x 34 (unfolded) | One-handed fold: No

If you’ve been shopping for a bassinet stroller for any length of time, you probably already know that they can get rather pricey. The Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System, however, is much more budget-friendly than many of other other options, and you don’t have to buy a separate bassinet attachment. Rather than using a separate bassinet, you can configure the stroller seat into a bassinet, which Evenflo calls a carriage. It’s easy to do: Completely recline the seat, and use your hands to push down on the inside, creating the walls of the bassinet. You can use the seat in this mode facing toward you or away from you. 

The combined seat and bassinet configuration makes this a good travel option as well, because it reduces the amount of baby gear you need to carry around. Purchase of the travel system also includes a car seat and a parent cup holder—another nice perk. If you’re looking for something inexpensive that gives you everything you need, this is the pick for you.

Best Single-To-Double Bassinet Stroller

Comes with a bassinet and toddler seat, bugaboo donkey 5.

Stroller weight: 26.9 pounds (mono mode) | Weight limit: 50 pounds per seat | Dimensions: 35 x 23.6 x 13.8 inches (folded in mono mode); 41.7 x 23.6 x 43.7 (unfolded in mono mode) | One-handed fold: No 

Parents who already have an older child or who are planning to expand their family might want to consider a single-to-double stroller. This way, you won’t have to buy a whole new double stroller for baby number two. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 can function as a single stroller with a large storage area in the mono configuration, and it can convert to a side-by-side double stroller with an expansion set. This allows you to use a bassinet next to a toddler seat or two toddler seats. Parents of twins will want to consider the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin , which allows you to use two bassinets at once. 

The bassinet has an aerated mattress and a mesh panel to help with airflow and breathability. You can also choose to close this panel up during colder weather. Like Uppababy, Bugaboo strollers are known for being very smooth and high-quality, so you won’t need to worry about your baby getting bumped and jostled around too much. Another reason we love this stroller: it comes with the bassinet, unlike many other options that require you to purchase the bassinet separately.

Best Travel Bassinet Stroller

The bassinet is collapsible, and the stroller fits in most overhead compartments, joolz aer+ stroller + bassinet bundle.

Stroller weight: 13.2 pounds | Weight limit: 50 pounds | Dimensions: 21 x 17.7 x 8.5 inches (folded); 32.7 x 17.7 x 41.5 inches | One-handed fold: Yes

Traveling is no reason to sacrifice your baby’s comfort (in fact, it’s every reason to cater to their comfort), and you won’t have to sacrifice with the lightweight Joolz Aer+ stroller. It has a one-handed fold, it comes with a travel bag and the stroller fits in most overhead compartments, to make flights a little easier. Even the bassinet is collapsible for ultimate portability. It has a UPF 50+ canopy on the bassinet as well as a cover and an easy-to-carry handle. It’s also made out of 100% recyclable fabrics, making it a more sustainable option.  

Parents of newborns appreciate that the Aer+ comes already assembled; that’s one less thing to worry about. It also has a four-wheel suspension to help reduce rough riding, and it’s compatible with an LED light you can purchase separately. The light is an invaluable safety feature for traveling to unfamiliar places. When your baby is ready, move them to the toddler seat to continue on all of your adventures.

Best Splurge Bassinet Stroller

Help regulate their temperature with bamboo fabric and adjustable ventilation.

Pottery Barn Kids

Silver Cross Wave

Stroller weight: 26.6 pounds | Weight limit: 55 pounds | Dimensions: 37 x 23 x 15 inches (folded); 43 x 23 x 37 inches (unfolded) | One-handed fold: No

There are many things I like about the Silver Cross Wave for newborns, from the soft fabric to the sturdy feel. Out of the box, it comes with a bassinet and a toddler seat, meaning you won’t need to purchase anything extra. This stroller can also be converted to a double, so you don’t have to buy a new one if a second baby comes along. Your purchase also includes two rain covers to keep your baby safe from the elements. So while it’s a splurge, you get a lot for your money.

The bassinet has built-in adjustable ventilation and soft bamboo fabric, which is known to help regulate temperature. It also has a ventilated UPF 50+ canopy, a cover and an easy-to-carry handle. If you’re planning on going for a lot of walks while your baby is in the bassinet, this is another option with a very smooth ride that will limit how much your baby is jostled. To use the bassinet for overnight sleep while traveling or at home, you can also buy the bassinet stand (sold separately).

Best Bassinet Stroller For Sleep

Safe for overnight sleep with a bassinet stand, nuna mixx next stroller and bassinet.

Stroller weight: 29.3 pounds | Weight limit: 50 pounds | Dimensions: 27.5 x 23.6 x 19 inches (folded); 32.7 x 23.6 x 45.3 (unfolded) | One-handed fold: No

Though you shouldn’t use a bassinet stroller for overnight sleep when the bassinet is attached to the chassis, bassinet stands can be used for an overnight sleep option. “If your baby falls asleep in the stroller often, moving them to a bassinet stand saves nap time,” says Huff. The bassinet on the Nuna Mixx Next can easily transition from the stroller to the stand, but note that the stand and bassinet are sold separately from the stroller. The bassinet has a sky drape that attaches quietly with magnets to keep things cozy for your baby. The bassinet also features a UPF 50+ canopy, ventilation panels, a hidden storage pocket and a GOTS certified organic cotton machine-washable mattress cover. The bassinet also folds for storage. 

The stroller itself is nimble, and it’s one of the best strollers I’ve tested, especially for babies and younger toddlers. The stroller seat is even safe for newborns when fully reclined if you need to run out of the house without the bassinet. I also like that the handlebar extends very far, so even tall parents with long strides won’t worry about hunching over or accidentally kicking the storage area while walking.

How We Chose The Best Bassinet Strollers

To pick the best bassinet strollers, we used our own real-world experience, interviewed experts, examined product specs and considered online reviews.

• As parents of small children, we’ve tried many bassinet strollers ourselves.
• We examined online reviews and ratings to find the bassinet strollers that families are most happy with.

• In an effort to include picks that work for all families, we recommend top strollers for various budgets and uses, including lightweight travel strollers and strollers that can expand to accommodate two children.

What To Look For In The Best Bassinet Strollers

When shopping for bassinet strollers, there are a few factors to consider to ensure you’re getting the best option for your family.

Of course, you can’t ask a baby if they’re comfortable, but they’ll let you know by communicating with cries and coos. To help your baby feel comfortable, look for a bassinet with covers to block the sun, ventilation and soft fabrics. You’ll also want to look for a stroller that pushes smoothly so your baby doesn’t get bumped around too much.

Use Beyond Newborn Months

Bassinet strollers are really nice, but they can only be used as long as it’s safe for your baby to be in a bassinet, which is often around four to six months. “Avoid bassinet strollers that cannot be used for older children. Most strollers have multiple attachment options, from bassinets to fully reclining toddler seats,” says Huff. “Strollers with only a bassinet option would not be suitable for long-term use.”

Newborns and infants should be placed on a firm, flat surface when in a bassinet. Look for a bassinet attachment that meets these requirements. When pushing the bassinet stroller, be mindful of how much you’re jiggling your baby around. “Avoid using bassinet strollers on rough terrain, as this can jostle your baby,” says Ganjian.

Ease Of Use

As you’re getting used to life with a newborn, you’ll want to look for a stroller that has easy-to-use features, such as a simple fold, smooth pushing and steering, and simple setup. “If you plan to transport it frequently, a lightweight, foldable stroller may be important,” says Ganjian.

Huff also recommends looking for features that make life easier. “Parents should look for easy transportability and quick breakdown. When you have a brand-new baby, the last thing you want to do is mess with a stroller that's hard to fold and store,” she says.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
