Amazon.com Product Description
The Evenflo Aura Elite is a convenient and secure travel system for parents who want to easily (or stealthily) move baby from carrier to car seat, or car seat to stroller. The 3-piece system includes all the necessary components for quick and safe traveling: a full-size stroller, an infant car seat, and a car seat base. The infant car seat can be used rear-facing for infants up to 22 pounds, while the stroller has a maximum weight limit of 40 pounds. This particular travel system features a gender-neutral brown plaid pattern that easily goes with anything and helps hide spills and spots.  | | A 5-point adjustable harness and stay-in-car base keep baby safe. | The infant carrier includes an Embrace adjustable front five-point harness, a patented EZ carry ergonomic handle with soft grip, and an infant head pillow. The adjustable, stay-in-car base allows you to easily place the carrier in your vehicle as a car seat and features a Position Right level indicator for proper recline.  | | Large wheels, one-hand steering, and oodles of storage make this stroller convenient for parents. | Once you and baby have reached your destination, you can continue your four-wheeled journey by snapping the carrier onto the included stroller. Evenflo's patented one-hand steering and ComfortFold let you keep hold of baby while maneuvering the stroller in and out of the car. The stroller's handles have a comfortable foam covering, making the one-handedness more enjoyable. The eclipse canopy allows for shielding of inclement weather or bright light and sports a window so that baby can still see out -- and you can peek in. The extra large wheels (9-inch diameter in the front and 8-inch diameter in the back) make tough terrain a little easier, but this stroller performs better on fairly smooth, even surfaces. While the car seat attaches firmly to the stroller, there is no fully upright position, which may cause curious youngsters some frustration. The deluxe seat provides plenty of cushion and all pads are removable and machine washable. But perhaps the greatest thing about the Aura Elite stroller is its considerable amount storage and thoughtful convenience features. The parent tray has two deep cup holders, plus a covered compartment between them for snacks, change, keys, or other small necessity. They've also included a wipes dispenser and underneath storage. One of the child's trays retracts so that folding and storing the stroller becomes much easier and more compact. The opening child tray in front makes it easy for toddlers to get in and out of the stroller by themselves. Lastly, there's an oversized basket with cargo net for toys, shopping bags, or all the little things that may get picked up on the day's excursion.

Very poorly made. February 22, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
When we were deciding to register for a travel system, we decided to register for one that could be for a girl, or a boy. That way we could use it for our next child. So, we registered for the Evenflo Aura system. It was a great price, and it seemed like the perfect system. It's not. And its has worn so much, we won't be able to use it for any more babies!
First, the whole thing is practically ALL plastic. After 2 months of using the carseat, the handle started to warp where it meets the seat. Not from heat, just from carrying the seat with the baby in it. Now, our daughter is on the small side, and was only about 9lbs when this started happening. Since then, we've had to just keep the seat in the car, and not carry it around for fear that the handle will break off.
The stroller has held up better than the carseat, however, my daughter HATES being in it! She started sitting up at 4 months, and as soon as she did, we started putting her in the stroller without the carseat. She loved sitting up being able to look around, but as she got older, she wanted to sit up STRAIGHT... this is impossible in the Aura. The recline for the seat is a tether tyoe strap that you pull to lift the seat, and let it out to lower it. When all the way up, the seat sits at a lounge position. It will NOT sit all the way up, and my daughter HATES it! She can't reach the cup holders or snack tray at all because of the recline, and she's almost a YEAR OLD! Believe me, we have pulled and pulled, and it won't sit up any more.
One more thing... since the stroller is ALL plastic, it scratches very easily. So, going in and out of the back of our SUV, we have to be really careful not to get it scratched. Needless to say, it's pretty scratched up...
So, my solution... I got a GRACO stroller. I got the Quattro Tour, and we LOVE it! It has an awesome recline, that's so much easier to maneuver, and it sits up perfectly straight! It's made so much better, and it isn't ALL PLASTIC like the Evenflo! We love it, and our daughter does too!
