Evenflo Aura Review Summary

Rated as an average three star car seat, the Evenflo Aura Infant Car Seat is considered to be “easy on the budget, hard to install.” Sold in either a travel system or by itself, the Evenflo Aura has a reasonable price those with a tight budget appreciate. Being adjustable to fit baby's growth, the Evenflo Aura makes it easy to transition baby from home to car to stroller with little disturbance to baby. What didn't parents like about the Evenflo Aura? Overwhelmingly it seems the base is difficult to get installed correctly, causing the seat to become uncomfortable and potentially unsafe for baby. Check out car seat reviews from other parents on a tight budget to see what their main pick would be.

Evenflo - Aura Elite Car seat

handle design is too good (Z shaped), easy to hold and good hand grib.

The belts are very soft, so no need to worry about for using infant. Value for the money. car seat material is very good and soft. the belt adjustments are good and easy. Seen my friends having tough...

This car seat, which is part of a travel system is great for carrying the baby from the house, to the stroller or from the car to the stroller. You can also tote the seat to the store and put it up on the cart. The restraint system is adjustable, so it grows with your baby and stays comfortable. The...

I just have to say that I have always been one to value price over brand name, but Evenflo is the one brand I will GLADLY pay a little more for. My daughter, then 5 months old, husband, and I were in an accident last Christmas in which my husband's truck rolled over onto its top (hit a patch of ice).  My husband and I both suffered a number of cuts and bruises but my daughter didn't have a mark on her.  The seat stayed latched into the base, which stayed right were it was supposed to in the truck, and my daughter never even woke up until she was being removed from the truck! 

I love the fact...

I shopped around to find a stroller system that was in my price range.  This fit the bill.  The car seat base stays in the car and the car seat easily lifts out.  The stroller is bulky, but that is standard.  It easily opens and folds down.  I have been able to open the stroller while holding my baby.

If you want value for your money, then I would recommend this stroller system.

I have been using the Aura stroller and carseat for almost a year and a half now, (obviously my son's pretty small :) and I haven't had any trouble with installing or using the carseat.  We have taken it on many trips and installed the base into grandparents and friend's cars.  It has always fit well in a roomy vehicle especially our Ford Taurus (which I never considered roomy) but in my friend's more compact sadan and in an airplane the handle couldn't lock into it's correct position for driving, and the seat seemed wedged in behind the front seat.  In all of the cars the level has shown green...

We have the evenflo aura carseat for the little one I babysit for and I have had two children of my own as well as babysat many others through the years.  And i have to say this is the carseat that I would recommend the least.  It doesn't have belt slots to be used without a base so the parents that I babysit for had to go and buy not one but two more bases for each of their cars as well as mine.  It also has a small canopy that doesn't shield the babies from the sun and the handle seems rather flimsy.  The little one I babysit for is 16 pounds and when I carry her in it by the handle it feels...

All the evenflo infant car seats are really good, especially when you are required to carry the infant with the car seat. The handle which is in "z" shape really helps us. Its eazy to carry and very convenient. When compared with the other competitor models and etc.. Most of the time the infant car seats hearts the legs while walking, we will not be able to walk for a long time and in tern we will not be able to carry infant with the car seat for long time. The "Z" shape of the handle relives us from the should pain.. we need not put the car seat away from the body, which reduces to usage of...

I bought the Evenflo Arua travel system at Babies R Us back in February and it was has been wonderful! I bought this system before I had a problem pregnancy so I used it for my son. The stroller is wonderful. Light weight, and easy to manage and steer. We have used just the stroller so far because my son is 4 and when we go shopping he hates to walk around. We have yet to use the carseat because our daughter is due in February of next year. But as far as I can tell the carseat looks to be comfortable as well as safe and stylish! The price was great when we were looking at this system because others...

The Evenflo Aura will give you room to store all you'r nesseccary items. the two cup holder up by the handle comes in very handy as well as the two on the tray by the seat. I found it very easy to put together and to fold down. It was easy to put the carseat in too. I liked that the visor for it covered the carseat as well as the visor for the carseat so my child stayed nice an warm and out of the weather too. It has come in handy in the mall, I was ablre to go shopping and not worry my bags or my purse since there was plenty of room in the bottom storage comparpment. Overal its very functional...

   I was very satisfied with this product. It was easy to use. The price was affordable. My son was very content in the seat. I felt my son was very comfortable in this seat. I was able to buy other products that was of the same theme and not have to break the bank. I could easily get to my son while in the car. Making necessay adjustments to fit my son as he grows was fairly easy. This fit into my cars no problem. I am constantly on the go and getting my son in and out is of vital importance. Getting him out of the bigger car was a lot easier than getting him out of my smaller car, but still...

I bought the Evenflo carseat for my second daughter. With my first daughter I had a Winnie the Pooh Graco carseat wich is a slightly more expensive than the Evenflo carseat.

The Evenflo carseat was about $10 less than that of Graco. The Evenflo carseat made my daughter's head fall forward to an uncomfortable looking position when driving. It was also very difficult to get in and out of the base in the car due to its design, so hard infact that I bought the Graco carseat a week later... It was not worth its effort.

Overall, I did not like the Evenflo carseat design or how it held my child.

I received the aura carseat and stroller as a shower gift. i made the mistake of registering for it online and didn't look at or feel in person. when i first put my daughter in it i knew that it wasn't all that great. it has almost no padding or support in it compared to some of my friends that bought their travel systems in the same price point. i didn't think that the base installation was all that difficult but i had help from a veteran mom. The stroller was also a let down because although it had features i was looking for it is very very hard to steer and keep control of.

I purchased the Evenflo Aura travelsystem prior to having my first child.  It has been a great stroller/carseat.  Carseat is very easy and fast to install in my vehicles ( i have an suv and a compact car, fits easily in both).  My daughter is now 5 months old and we use the seat on almost a daily basis.  It has held up to the use and abuse of my husband and I putting it in and out.  I looked at many other travelsystems and being on a budget couldnt afford very much, I definetly feel I got my money's worth from this system and will keep it for my next child.

I received the evenflo travelsystem as a gift. I am happy with the car seat and stroller. This product was available in many different colors and patterns. One drawback is when in the base it sits very upright which for newborns with no head control (even with head supports) can be quite uncomfortable. My little ones head would fall forward and I would have to reach back and push his head back up not very safe when you are driving. The stroller is very large but very easy to use one button opens and closes it. Overall I think it is a good deal.
