I have two kids that used this car seat and have since sold it to a friend and she loves it as well. We had a small car so we had to make sure the handle was all the way down. It fit into many different strollers and very light weight. Over all it was a great car seat and was easy to take apart to wash

We had this car seat and when my son was 7 months the car seat stopped locking into the base even after making the locking sound. I called evenflo and they want me to send it all the way to Ohio for them to exam it meanwhile I would still have to replace it until I get it back or its replacement. What good is that? I will not buy Evenflo again.

We looked at this, but I’m VERY short (4’11″) and the stroller was just too high for me to be comfortable with. I can’t imagine it’d be an issue for anyone even a couple of inches taller (and really, I COULD have dealt with it, but if I’m going to spend that much money I want to be comfortable.) It’s cute, though!

Evenflo really needs to figure out how to make their straps less twisty. I have had issues with every Evenflo carseat I’ve owned and twisting straps! At this point I’ve left Evenflo behind out of frustration and am sticking with Graco’s newer seats (the safeseat series, nautilus, and myride) and Britax seats. The only ones that I’ve found besides the Chicco infant seats that don’t twist up from normal everyday use!

I have the Aura travel system. I used one for both of my kids and for the price, it is well worth it.
I haven’t noticed any excessive sweating from my boys, but I can see how the fabric might be stuffy.
As the car seat tech said, it is not ideal for small cars. I’ve had mini vans with both kids and it works well in those.
I would recommend it for the mom on a budget.

My sister in law has this carseat for my nephew I wouldn’t recomend it. Poor little guy everytime you put him in he he starts sweating up a storm even when it was winter, the fabric does not breathe at all

Just let readers know its not good for small cars. The handle must down with 1.5 inches between the handle and the seat infront of it.
