Evenflo Aura Elite Travel System Stroller - Oh So Big

Got this for my second child after research, I could have done better though. The car seat is very sturdy and the ergonomic handle is especially good for people with wrist or elbow problems. The stroller is a bit bulky if you have a truck and the wheels will begin to wobble after awhile. Also if you have back problems you cannot lift the stroller it is awkward. I think if they dropped the price by about $50 then it might be worth running to buy it. Otherwise keep researching. There is NOT one perfect stroller out there!!

My daughter is now 14 months old and I use this stroller all the time. The wheels are really loose and there isn't a way to tighten them. Also, when you close the stroller you get all dirty from the way the wheels are positioned. I do think that the stroller opens and closes ver easily and I never has a problem with the infant seat. The colors are great and the system cleans very nicely. Also, the basket gets all crunched up and doesn't keep it's shape after just a few uses. Frustrating, but not a total waste.

We used the carseat even since our LO was 4 days old and had no problems with it. We bought it b/c of the special handle design which was okay, I guess (never used one of the others, so nothing to compare it to). The stroller is big and bulky but is comfy if she either sits up on her own or is napping. It does not allow her to sit at a 90 degree angle (straight up with back support). We have another umbrellas stroller that we use when we need something smaller. I did like that the car seat fit into the stroller when she was younger. Just not thrilled with the stroller on it's own.

i chose this travel system because of the neautral colors and theme. i wish i knew more about picking out these things at the time. now with my son 8 1/2 months old ive used the stroller once and the car seat for only 3 months, which i hated every minute of it. it doesnt cradel all the way back like the graco carriers/car seats do. we had to wedge things under it when he was a new born so his head wouldnt flop forward. it was a nightmare. its cheaply made in comparison to others. i didnt take notice of the price when registering, and once i realized how much i hated it, i noticed it was on the cheaper end. you get what you pay for. if money is an issure, go with the cheaper of the graco systems. im keeping most of our baby items for the next time we have a baby but i will NOT be keeping this. this travel system gets a big FAT F!!!

I LOVE this product!!! I use this product almost every single day. Since the day my son was born 3 months ago. I live on an island that has a lot ofhills and in getting back to shape for the navy i take my son walking or running depending on my mood through the hilly terrain almost every day and it works like a charm. The car seat from day one he has laughed and enjoyed. The seat itself i have never had a problem with. 3 days after my son was born i went up tot he shrimp trucks on the north shore and got cajun garlic shrimp sauce all over it, took it home it came off easily washed and dried in prefect order.

never have i had any issue with my sons head floping in it in fact he has better head control than my 3 newphews with there graco carseats. Their careseats were terrible and their stroller was an equal nightmare.

I have zero complaints for this stroller and i dont know what people complain about, but for me and my family this stroller has been one of the best ive come across. and the colours are just perfect not to bright to draw attention not to dark thatyour always cleaning up milk stains....

I even took this on a recent trip to the mainland and not even airport baggage handlers could screw it up!
I wish i could rate this higher than 5

With one child it was fine at first, but the seat doesn't sit at a 90 degree angle so my son never liked it without the car seat, unless he was sleeping. My son is one and we are now expecting our second child. I was wanting to buy a double stroller that would adapt to the car seat, but apparently there is no such thing. Go for a Graco. Their travel systems can later allow the car seats to adapt to any of their double strollers. Better economic deal!!!

Super easy to use and put together. The car seat kept my daughter very comfortable. She loves her car seat! Now, I'm worrying about what I'm going to have to buy in the next couple of months. I hope she likes the next carseat as much as she loved this one.

The stroller was great from birth until the baby outgrew the carseat. Once we removed the carseat and sat him in the stroller seat, it was over. The back of the seat doesn't stay up at 90 degrees. The straps are not lengthy enough to work around the baby's body. Because there is no middle bar between the legs, the baby has to be strapped. Otherwise, he'd slip down. In order to keep the baby from slipping out of the stroller, we have to use one of the straps only around one of the legs. It's the only way to strap him in. The baby is constantly using his hands to pull up, and ends up crying because his little arms quickly get tired of holding his body up. The stroller is always reclined at 120 degrees, but unless the baby is sleepy, that won't work. If the baby does fall asleep, he can lay down flat in it, but his feet end up dangling, because there's no way to support his feet or to extend the seat to accommodate below the calves. After a great start, it was truly a terrible ending. Since the baby is too young to walk yet, we will definitely have to find another stroller. Very disappointing :-(

I had registered for a Graco stroller, but my grandparents couldn't find it in store so they bought me the Evenflo. It looked just as nice so I kept it. My son (normal size baby) outgrew the carseat by the time he was 6 months old. The carseat is just too tiny. The stroller wheels also squeaked about that same time. I can't even use it anymore because the wheels drive me so crazy! Baby #2 is on the way and we're searching for something else!

At first we were going to get a more expensive stroller, but decided to save some money, so I was on a mission to find something that met all my requirements at a cheap price. It had to have a fully reclining seat, be gender neutral, lots of coverage so I could "hide" the baby in public, and I didn't want it to look/feel cheap.

The pattern attracted me first, it is perfect for either a girl or a boy and looks great, it does not feel cheap and feels soft and comfortable. I played around with it and I loved the fact that I could collapse it with one hand and it felt easy to maneuver. it also had all my requirements.

My baby is 1 month old now and we have never had an issue with the car seat or the stroller. He never cries while in it and I have not seen his head flop forward once. The stroller's front wheels move in such a way that you can easily move it around with one hand, you can also make it so the wheels don't move as much, but once youre used to them moving the way they do, you wont want to. I can collapse the stroller with one hand (out of the box it was a little harder to do, but I am sure that's because it was new, once I did it a few times it got worn in and is always easy now) there is plenty of storage space on the bottom, the basket is actually divided into two parts, a big part for diaper bag/purse, and a smaller section for little things, so you don't have to dig in the big basket for them. There is zip up storage under the handle and then under the wipe holder is a compartment, perfect for phones/digital camera/wallet…the canopy on the stroller can be folded up towards you or away from you, and both canopies give the baby a lot of coverage. When they are both up, the only spot not covering baby is the sides.

I havent used the stroller without the car seat yet, but the seat fully reclines, and the harness in the stroller looks very nice. There is only one downside…the bulk. I knew it would be big, but most strollers are so im not complaining, all the good features makes it worth it for me.
