Which is better for a newborn?

Both work from birth. The Baby Trend car seat starts at 4 lb and the Evenflo LiteMax at 3 lb, so the Evenflo covers slightly smaller babies. The Evenflo also lets you face the infant seat toward you in the stroller.

Is the Evenflo worth the extra $136?

If you will use the stroller for several years, yes. The Evenflo self-folds, stands on its own, has rubber wheels and carries up to 55 lb. If you mainly need a car seat and a basic stroller, the Baby Trend does the job for less.

The Evenflo. Its stroller seat is rated to 55 lb and about 40 in tall, while the Baby Trend listing gives no stroller weight limit. Both car seats top out at 30 lb.

Which is easier to fold and put in a trunk?

The Evenflo. It folds one-handed to 21.1 x 24 x 13.6 in and stands on its own, though buyers say unfolding takes two hands. The Baby Trend has no self-fold claim.

Which has better storage for parents?

The Baby Trend. It has a covered parent tray with two deep cup holders. The Evenflo has one cup holder and little parent storage, plus a 10 lb basket.

Do the car seats fit both strollers?

Each car seat is made for its own stroller. The Evenflo lists only the LiteMax as compatible, and the Baby Trend set pairs the EZ-Lift seat with the EZ Ride stroller.
