Otto+ travel system
"I received this product through the stellar product testing program andI was pleasantly surprised with this travel system. It was super easy to set up, light weight, compact, and a beautiful design. The stroller is really easy to maneuver one-handed, and is sturdy which was a big concern of mine. If the car seat is clicked in, it also offers full shade while still offering lots of ventilation. Ive never had a travel system because I hated the idea of having so many pieces and adapters but this has changed my mind. I haven’t stopped using it since I got it. Extra bonus that my toddler loves it too!"

Lightweight and versatile
"The Otto+ Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat is lightweight and versatile. Some of my favorite things about the system are how small the stroller folds, it is a single handed fold, it stays standing, it is easy to carry, and the car seat clicks in effortlessly without any additional adapters. It is perfect for running quick errands and maneuvers well. The car seat itself is also lightweight, which is always nice when carrying it by hand. While most of the features felt tailor-made to motherhood, I would love to see a one-handed adjustment for the carry handle and clips with single button push detachment for the lower anchor attachments on the car seat base. This travel system has been my go to lately. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for this gift!"

Great Comfort and Style!
"Overall, the Otto+ Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat is great! The car seat is extremely cushioned, providing great comfort and safety for my 8-month old. The ease of transferring the car seat into the stroller combo is great. The base for the car seat is large and sticks out a little from my SUV’s seats, but that is the only negative. My favorite part is how compact the stroller is. It is so easy to break down and set up - I can do it one-handed! This combo was great for going to the grocery store and maneuvered well around the aisles and tight spaces. It pushes smoothly on the paved and smooth surfaces. It was a little bit bumpy on the outdoor walk around my neighborhood and it is definitely more well-suited for indoors. I was also able to use this stroller for my 3-year old and she was very comfortable and enjoyed it. This will definitely be my family’s go-to travel stroller now! Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system."

A Basic Travel System
"The Otto+ Travel System is your basic travel system. It's barebones, no frills, but essentially gets the job done. First impressions of the car seat and stroller - though the look mimics the style of popular travel systems, the quality seems very cheap, which makes many of the elements clunky to use (not what we need with an infant). The click-in and out feature is helpful to minimize the hassle of transferring the carseat, but it's still rarely a smooth transition. Again, I think this is largely due to the quality and materials used. When it comes to the stroller, I like the lower level storage and that the platform adjusts forward and back. The stroller itself pushes fairly smoothly, but doesn't do well against any sort of bumps or gaps in the sidewalk, and like the carseat, the materials do not seem like great quality. I'm curious to see how the stroller holds up over time. Overall, a travel system is the ideal combo for this phase of our family's life, however, the Otto+ Travel System isn't my favorite after testing it through the Stellar Product Testing Panel."

Makes travel simple
"I received this travel system from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and overall I’ve loved using this system in our everyday routine. The car seat-to-stroller setup is super convenient for quick trips, and being able to click the seat right into the stroller with no adapters makes getting in and out of the car much easier. It was a little tricky to line up at first, but once I got the hang of it, it’s quick and easy. The single front wheel design makes this stroller really easy to maneuver. It almost glides, and folding it up is fast and simple. I like how lightweight everything feels and easy to lift, while my husband prefers something a bit heavier, so that comes down to personal preference. The wheels are a bit thin, which isn’t a huge issue but could affect stability on uneven sidewalks. Overall, it feels sturdy without being clunky and has been a great, practical travel system for everyday use."

Perfect for errands, parks, and grandparents!
"Thank you to Stellar Panel for letting us try out this stroller! The Otto is one of those strollers that surprises you with how compact and lightweight it is while still feeling like a full stroller. It’s easy to carry and toss in the back of the car(look at the picture of me carrying it to see how compact it is to carry)! The one-hand fold is amazing. For very young babies, I’d definitely use it with the infant car seat since the stroller seat doesn’t have a ton of support—but the stroller seat is perfect for toddlers. The whole set up will easily last from birth to about 3–4 years old. The only thing to note is that if my 3-year-old leans way to one side, it feels like it is going to tip. As long as I’m holding onto it, it’s totally fine, but I wouldn’t leave him unattended. This would be an AMAZING stroller for grandparents because it’s so lightweight, compact, and easy to set up. I love it for errands, parks and short walks around town—note that it isn’t an off-roader!"

Otto+ Travel
"Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel I was able to try out the Evenflo Otto+ Travel system with the LiteMax infant car seat. Straight out of the box the color and overall design of the system looked expensive and classy. The installation of the base in my vehicle was quick with no frustration! Getting baby in and out of the car has been a breeze with the LiteMax car seat, it has made a huge difference on my back and shoulders. But as a mom on the go the travel system is such a game changer. It’s so easy to pop out of the trunk set the car seat in and go! It has a smooth ride and maneuvers beautifully."

The perfect travel system for your busy days
"I received this as part of Stellar Product Testing, and I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive at first. Let me start by giving you a little background about myself. I’m a mommy to a wonderful little boy and currently pregnant with my second child. Over the years, I’ve become somewhat of an expert when it comes to strollers and baby gear. My son has a stroller that we spent a small fortune on. It’s heavy but beautiful, with lots of storage. I also purchased a wagon to make our days at Universal Studios a bit easier, and I even have a grab and go stroller that’s lightweight and very similar to the ones you can buy at Disneyland. So, when this stroller and travel system came into my life, I wasn’t sure if it would be able to live up to my expectations or meet the needs of my busy lifestyle. But let me tell you, I was blown away. This stroller is exactly what I needed all along. For the price point, it’s absolutely perfect for those hectic, on-the-go days. First off, the ride is incredibly smooth. I’ve used it on so many different terrains—pavement, grass, and even gravel and it handles like a dream. It’s such a relief to have a stroller that glides effortlessly, especially when you’re pushing it for hours at a time. Folding it is also a breeze, which is a huge deal for me. I’ve had strollers in the past that were so complicated to collapse, and when you’re holding a squirming toddler in one arm, the last thing you need is a stroller that requires a manual to fold. With this one, it’s a quick and easy process, and I can do it with one hand. That’s a game changer. Another thing I love about this stroller is how comfortable it is for my son. He absolutely loves riding in it, and I can tell he feels secure and cozy. Because of this stroller, we’ve been able to take the tram at Disneyland instead of walking through Downtown Disney every time we visit the park. That might not sound like a big deal, but for a pregnant mom with a toddler, it’s a lifesaver. It’s those little things that make a huge difference in our day to day lives. The stroller has also made it easier for us to enjoy longer outings without worrying about my son getting overtired or cranky. He has a comfortable place to rest when he needs it, and I can keep pushing forward without missing a beat. I’ve been a mom for a few years now, and I’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to baby gear. My son went through four different car seats before we finally found the right one, so trust me when I say I know how overwhelming it can be to find the perfect product. If I had this stroller and travel system when I started my parenting journey four years ago, it would have saved me so much time, money, and stress. The color I received is absolutely perfect. I’m a boy mom, but honestly, the color is so versatile that it would work just as well for a girl. It’s stylish without being too flashy, and it feels like a timeless choice that I’ll still love years from now. One of the standout features of this stroller is how lightweight it is. I’ve had strollers in the past that were so bulky and heavy that they felt like a workout just to lift them into the car. This one is the complete opposite. I was able to carry it with one arm during a solo trip to the library with my son. That’s such a huge plus because, as moms, we’re often juggling multiple things at once kids, diaper bags, snacks, and everything in between. Having a stroller that’s easy to lift and maneuver makes all the difference. Another thing I really appreciate about this stroller is the storage space. As a mom, you can never have too much storage. Between diapers, wipes, snacks, water bottles, toys, and all the other essentials, it’s so nice to have a stroller that can hold everything without feeling cramped. The storage basket underneath is spacious and easy to access, which is something I’ve struggled with in other strollers. It’s those thoughtful design details that really set this stroller apart. Now that I’m pregnant with my second child, I’ve come to rely on this stroller even more. My son is at that age where he still gets tired, especially during nap time or after a long day of activities. In the past, I would have had to carry him, which was fine when I wasn’t pregnant, but now it’s just not an option. This stroller has been a lifesaver for those moments. It gives him a comfortable place to rest, and it allows me to keep moving without overexerting myself. It’s a relief to know that I have a reliable and practical solution for those tired toddler meltdowns. If you’re a mom on the go, this stroller is an absolute must-have. It’s perfect for so many different situations, whether you’re traveling, heading to the airport, going to a festival, or just running errands around town. I’ve used it in all of these scenarios, and yet to let me down so for now it will stay as my go to travel system."

Great Travel System if Looking For Convenience
"First off, I love that this travel system is targeted for both travel and everyday use. There is no need to own multiple strollers when you have the Otto + travel system. We have used it for both traveling and neighborhood walks. I love how quick/easy folds, as well as how small it is for storage while traveling. I took off one star because the material of the seat is quite rough and scratchy. It really bothered my toddler. I love everything about the stroller except for the material. The infant insert in the car seat was also the same material and quite uncomfortable for baby. All the other materials on the car seat were comfortable and smooth. I found my baby to be very content while using this car seat. Being able to click the car seat int the compact stroller was a game changer. It made going from the car and into a store a breeze, especially while my baby was sleeping. I love the versatility of being able to use the stroller seat or clicking in the car seat. It maneuvered very well on walks throughout our neighborhood and seems to be very durable. My favorite function is definitely the easy folding and unfolding features. As a mom with full hands this is so important and has helped encourage me to reach for this stroller often. I love that there is no fuss and it is dependable. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system."

Awesome budget-friendly travel system
"Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to try out the Evenflo Otto+ Travel System! Overall, this has been a really great system and it is something I would purchase again. First let’s talk about the stroller - it is light, extremely compact, folds easily, maneuvers very smoothly, feels high quality, fits both small and larger children without any issue, is aesthetically nice to look at, and I love the adjustable cup holder. It is everything (and more) that I would expect for the price. I have used the stroller for my normal daily outings (store, playground, aquarium, walks around the neighborhood) and it has been great for both my one and three-year-old kids. My three-year-old is 36 pounds and still fits very comfortably in the seat. It takes up very little space in my trunk compared to other strollers and is so easy to open and close. Of course it doesn’t have all of the same luxuries as a super high-end stroller such as all-terrain wheels, large storage basket, adjustable handle, etc, so if you are looking for those things this is not the stroller for you, however, it does have everything that you realistically NEED in a stroller. Now to the car seat - it is nice overall, but nothing amazing. I’d give it a 4/5 if I was rating the stroller and car seat separately. It is very basic and a bit of a pain to adjust with the re-thread harness. I don’t love the base either as it wasn’t the easiest to install and it takes up a lot of space. Not a bad seat for the price, as it does seem comfortable and is super light, but I can’t say I absolutely love it either. As a combo, the stroller and seat work great together! Again, it’s a pretty light/compact travel system (other than the car seat base,) which is so convenient as a mom trying to juggle two toddlers. The seat is very easy to attach and remove from the stroller, and it’s so convenient that no adaptors are required. All in all, I would purchase this travel system again, and would recommend to anyone looking for a budget-friendly travel system."
