I have an Evenflo Easy Comfort Advantage V troller and infant car seat system purchased in December 2000. I used it for years and want to pass it on to grandparents as a second stroller. It's in great shape except for a small piece of plastic on a rear wheel that broke and so I need a new wheel because it will not stay on the axle. Evenflo carries no parts to this stroller anymore. Subsequent stroller wheels will not work since Evenflo changed their design. I hate to junk a perfectly good stroller for a small piece of plastic. Any suggestions or is this stroller headed for the trash?
Re: I have an Evenflo Easy Comfort Advantage V troller...
Why not replace both rear wheels with 2 wheels from another stroller (not necessarily the same model as yours). I bet you could find something that will fit in, regardless it is the same model or not.

From the Owners' Manual: STOP USING INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE AND THROW IT AWAY after the date molded into the back of the infant restraint. "DO NOT use this car seat after December (Year)" Please cut off the straps and remove the cover from the seat before throwing away (or recycling). This will keep others from trying to reuse or resell the out-of-date seat.
You can go to the evenflo website and look up replacement parts and enter the model number and such and you can download the manual and/or also can have them send them to you.!!
You're trying to unattach the straps from the wrong end....flip the car seat over and on the very bottom there is a little gold clip that pops out and you can push through the hole.

Okay okay--do not do anything with the big pieces behind the babies back but the gold clips at the **** area..pop those out and shove that piece and the clip and the chest clip through the back of the strap hole--then reput the strap through the slot you wish then the gold pieces back through the bottom and of course pop the gold pieces back--again do not use the upper clips behind the back to do this :0)
You should have any problem finding that part, unless Evenflo completely discontinued your car seat.

Question:
How do I care and clean for my PortAbout 3/PortAbout V infant car seat?
Answer:
To clean pad slide the elastic loops of the seat pad off of the seat shell. Remove the harness system. Cloth pad, canopy, and head support may be machine washed separately cold water, delicate cycle, tumble dry 10-15 minutes, low heat. Wipe straps, buckles, and harness adjusters with warm damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry. NOTE: DO NOT submerge harness assembly in water. To help protect the vehicle upholstery, place a towel beneath and behind the child restraint.
