The evenflow slot holders in the car seat for the buckles when putting your child in is a game changer for me 😍

[jannareality]

I feel like the dual ride basically took the doona and improved on it.

[VanessaLennox]

I’m definitely leaning towards the Evenflo.

[amandamitchell]

This is so helpful! Other than weight, it seems like Evenflo just leveled up on the doona! Fixed or improved so much.

[Lizdep]

Evenflo really outdid themselves with this one! Can’t wait to buy it!

[kristenobaugh]

It’s worth noting that the Doona does have a storage bag specifically made for it that clips to the back, but it does have to be purchased separately and it appears that the storage on the Dual Ride is bigger.

The doona does actually have a snap on storage accessory bag, as well as what they call an essentials bag that fits to the handle. It’s basically a diaper and bottle bag. It also has sunshade extensions, insect net, and a 360 protection accessory from both sun and insects. I used this carseat for a year and it was pretty great. Only thing it is missing is the drink holder accessory and ability for the wheels to come off. I chose doona for the wheel feature, as it is hard for me to carry around any carseat due to some handicaps.

I have never been an evenflo fan, but if I had it to do over again, this would be a definite purchase for me.

Thank you for this video. I have been having my eye on the doona, and now that I've seen this comparison video, I think I made up my mind.

[shanell]

So glad I got the DualRide but I didn't come across your video until after the fact but after watching it I feel like I chose the perfect one! Thank you for such a helpful/informational video.

I love my doona and miss it everyday! Only people who have the doona know the luxury it offers

[amaggzz]

The doona hasn’t made any improvements since it was released, I’m loving the competition from Evenflo

[missymell]

Thank you so much for this video! It’s been super helpful to decide which one to go with 💕

[sonyakor]

Doona looks very classy sleek and modern the evenflo looks Lila a robot in my opinion

[rachelpozzesi]

The fact that you can remove the wheels on the Evenflo is a huge perk as it helps take some weight off!

[liz]

Sounds like Evenflo for the win. Especially if you're spending $500 on a carseat. I'd want something baby could fit into longer.

[tyfanyhamilton]

I love my doona. Used it for the first time with my third kid and now I want a 4th just to try the dual ride! I had e never heard/seen it.

[MikkiG]

I had the Doona for my first baby and me and hubby were in love with it. Heard evenflo came out with a similar one so I bought the shyft combo for my second baby and I’m excited to use it.

[karlafigueroa]

Thank you for your video. I have 2 major questions that I have not seen in any videos out there. One: How safe are these car seats in case of a car accident? Two: Is the safe sensor actually safe for babies in the sense of radiation and such? I hope you see these questions because this is the only thing that’s keeping me away from buying any one of these. Thank you.

In regards to weight you should also realize that you’re not going to carry this seat around. I have the doona and over the past 8 months I have never been in a situation where I needed to carry the seat. The most I carry is getting it in and out of the car or up a couple stairs and when I do that I grab the handle bar and the back of the seat and it’s much easier to handle the weight vs just carrying it with the handle.
