We have evenflo stroller. I think it is apart of the auro line. It has the one handle steering. I was wondering can any evenflo car seat snap in to that stoller or do I need to by a special carseat made for that stroller?
Straight off Evenflo's website:
Question:
What car seats can attach to the Aura Travel System?
Answer:
Only use the Evenflo Embrace and Evenflo PortAbout infant car seats. Other infant car seats or carriers are not designed to fit the stroller frame and may result in serious injury to your child.

my daughter is 7months and she is too big for her car seat she when can she use the one where it faces the front?
must i add she is 19 lbs at 7months so um yea can i use it now or do u recommened me to wait until 1yr old?
No age.
Babies do not use boosters, heck toddlers do not use boosters.
Try buying a convertible car seat and keep it facing rear. Facing front is just not that safe at all even for a toddler.
WE have The Fisher Price Safe Voyager Deluxe.
Made by Britax, built like a Marathon, Fisher price name, Britax value at a not so high Britax Price.
Rear to 33 lbs
Forward to 55 lbs
Easy to install, not too fancy, easy to switch. High belt slots for maximum use. Super easy to tighten and loosen. Some can be hard, but this one is a breeze.
My son has used this seat rear facing since he was 4 months old, he is now 16 months and 25 pounds with plenty of room to grow in the rear facing position. I hated using the infant seat. He still had plenty of room in it, don't get me wrong, but it was just so uncomfortable for him. The convertible seat is bigger and had more padding. You do not have to use an infant seat until a certain age anyways, as long as the seat is rear facing. We payed $130.00.
You tube has videos of real people doing reviews too if you want to check that out. Do not buy a 5 lbs to 100 lbs type with booster and all, SUCH A WAIST! They are like "to good to be true" type seat.
The safest seat it one that is properly installed. I suggest getting whatever seat you do choose professionally installed by a car seat tech. Even if you think you know everything you need to know about installing your seat, there is plenty more to learn. I went 2 times and learned more each time.
The "law" for minimum age and weight is 20 pounds AND 12 months, but that is the bare minimum and research shows that is still NOT safe. There is nothing wrong with a rear facing toddler.
Rear facing as long as possible is best.
Don't be the one who uses, "His legs are squished," as an excuse. Broken legs are much better than a decapitated baby.
I understand that booster seats are for older kids, but some look so padded you could put a 7 or 8 month old in them! Do I have to buy both? What if I got a really padded booster seat, can I use that as a toddler seat?
Toddler seats and infant seats have 5 point harnesses Booster seats do not they just use the regular car seat belt., some do have backs. Better helps to protect against wiplash.They do make seats with 5 point harnesses that can be made into booster seats by removing the harness. It is best and safest to keep a child in a 5 point harness as long as possible, as it is the safest in a accident. In fact they even make 5 point harnesses for children over 40 pounds(the weight limit for a toddler car seat) You cannot put a child under 40 pounds in a booster seat. It is not safe.
