We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of $L^{\infty}$ a priori estimates for positive solutions to a class of subcritical elliptic equations in bounded $C^2$ convex domains. These sufficient conditions widen the range of nonlinearities for which a priori bounds are known. Using these a priori bounds we prove the existence of positive solutions for a class of problems depending on a parameter
