About - Evenflo Aura Select
The Evenflo Aura Select is part of the stroller test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, traditional stroller models like the Aura Select are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Ease of use: Ease of use is based primarily on ease of safety harness use, folding and unfolding, adjusting backrest, lifting and carrying, engaging wheel brakes and car seat removal and installation (only for compatible strollers). Maneuverability: Maneuverability was assessed by trained staffers on how well the strollers maneuvered S-turns through cones, narrow sections, grass, dirt trails, uphill, downhill and curbs while walking. Safety: Safety is assessed by testing for compliance with the most current version of the standard, ASTM F833-11, and stability and usage tests designed by Consumers Union.

Comment:

After trying out many brands and styles of travel system strollers, this was by far the easiest to steer and fold up (without paying over $400). We have used ours since our son was born, and we're still using it (he'll be 2 this winter). The cup holders are bigger than most and the storage area is deep.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
