Removing an Evenflo car seat from its stroller is typically straightforward and involves locating and activating a release mechanism, often a button or lever on the car seat carrier itself. The most common method is to press a large button located on the back of the car seat where it connects to the stroller frame. This disengages the locking mechanism, allowing you to lift the seat straight up.
Before you start, ensure the stroller is on a flat surface and the brakes are engaged for stability. Look for the release button; it's usually prominently placed and may be color-coded. Press and hold this button firmly. While holding it down, use your other hand to grasp the car seat's carry handle or base. Lift the seat directly upwards and away from the stroller chassis. You should hear or feel a distinct "click" or release when it disconnects. Never try to twist or force the seat off, as this can damage the locking parts.
If you don't see an obvious button, check the sides of the connection point for a lever. Some models use a lever that you pull up or push down to unlock the seat. Always refer to your specific Evenflo model's manual for the exact procedure, as designs can vary. For example, the popular Evenflo Sibby Travel System uses a center-release button, while the Pivot Xpand might have a different mechanism. If the seat feels stuck, double-check that you've fully disengaged the stroller's safety locks and that no fabric or straps are caught in the connection point. Practice the action a few times when you're not in a hurry to build confidence.
