The Shyft DualRide is a little bit heavier than most infant car seats — but for a good reason! It’s designed to function as a one-piece combo: an infant car seat that opens into a stroller with the wheels and frame already attached. After removing from the base, just squeeze the release on the infant car seat and the stroller wheels drop down, which makes transitioning from the backseat of your vehicle to the sidewalk or driveway seamless. Thanks to this integrated stroller system, you won’t need to carry the infant car seat often. However, the Shyft DualRide may also be removed from the base without the stroller frame attached, for a lightweight carry option.
