 Fantastic car seat lacking spending Britax bucks |
| Review Date: June 5, 2008 |

This is a fantastic car seat. I bought this one about 6 weeks ago when my son (child #3) outgrew his infant car seat at only 9 months ancient. I had earlier bought an before model of this car seat for my first child, and sadly our car was stolen with the car seat inside. I liked the first one I had, and I like this one even more. Here are the key points:
*It seems to be exceptionally comfortable for the child. It's huge and cushy. My son likes it. My daughter did, too.
*It really seems to offer a lot of protection with its huge seat that kind of curves around the child. On the down side, if you plot on moving the seat around a lot (as a further assessor mentioned), it is quite heavy. But the truth is, it's not designed to be portable--most changeable car seats are not. And if you have a small car, you might have vex making it fit (I don't know this for sure since with three playgroup children, I have a minivan).
*It is simple to bed in. I have installed a honest share of car seats, and this one is one of the better ones.
*It is very simple to adjust the straps. You can adjust the height of the shoulder straps from the front. How wonderful is that--it is such a hassle to rethread straps like you need to in many car seats that now and again you can be tempted to leave them on a setting your child has outgrown for a while. You can also adjust the tension of the straps from the front very easily. You can really make sure they are tight enough every time in any case of whether your small guy is wearing a sweatshirt and coat or a t-shirt. And if he likes to squirm while you place him in, you can loosen the straps, fasten him up and then tense up it to a safe tension. No problem at all.
*It is not too expensive. I paid $117 for mine, which is no small amount of money, but it is not as expensive as a Britax. I'm sure the Britax is fine, but I reckon a lot of people buy them since they are trendy or since they reckon they have to spend a lot to make sure their kids are safe. The evenflo is a fantastic car seat. And it is much better than some of the cheap brands like the Cosco I have to use when visiting my parents (no padding, hard to adjust straps, hard to fasten clips, yuck).
All in all, I reckon it is a fantastic choice for a car seat if you need or want a changeable. |

| What a fantastic carseat! I bought this for my 9 month ancient son after he outgrew the Graco Snugride (loved it too!). It is super simple to bed in and getting him in and out of it is a breeze. You never have to rethread the straps as the child grows taller since they are easily adjusted even with the child sitting in the seat! I like how the straps tense up with the use of a knob at the base of the seat. My 3 year ancient has the Alpha Omega Elite and you have to pull the strap in between his legs to tense up the straps. I thought really liked the Alpha Omega Elite until we got the Triumph Advance. Also, washing the carseat cover is a snap...a few hooks to loosen and the whole cover comes off and can be thrown in the washing apparatus. Our other carseat has to be taken out of the car and nearly completely taken apart...what a pain. I really just boght a further Triumph Advance for my 3 year ancient and retired his Alpha Omega Elite...it just didn't compare! All in all, the Evenflo is simpler to bed in, simpler to buckle and unbuckle the kids in, simpler to clean, and so much more comfortable! |
Fantastic seat - better than the older DLX version

We recently bought this carseat since our youngest outgrew her infant seat. I should tell you that our oldest has been luckily using an older Evenflo Triumph Advance DLX Changeable Car Seat we bought her about 1.5 years ago. But since then, Evenflo has come out with the "Advance LX" line of seats and it looks like they are replacing the DLX line. We really liked our older DLX seat, and we like this one even more.
It does solve a few of the quirky issues that the older DLX line had: the harness belts no longer run from the seat to the shoulder and then back down to the buckle again - now it's just a single belt that goes from the shoulder to the seat. That makes buckling and adjusting a lot simpler! A further new feature is that the shoulder belt height is adjustable lacking taking the back of the seat off - you simply go it up or down by grabbing the red tabs and moving them. To top it all off, this seat can handle kids weighing up to 50lbs forward-facing - the older DLX line goes up to 40lbs.
Aside from those differences, all else is pretty much the same as the DLX line, and that's a excellent thing. The harness is still adjusted very easily by using the two knobs on the front sides, and it's just as comfortable for the kids as the original. I can't tell you how convenient it is to be able to adjust the harness by using those knobs, rather than by pulling a strap in the front.
ONE YEAR UPDATE:
It's been over a year that we've been using this seat and it's still as fantastic as ever. For those who are having small issues with adjusting it while it's installed rear-facing: those issues will become moot once it's installed forward-facing. Since my review, we've installed this seat in 3 different cars - one of which didn't have the Latch system (a 1996 Cavalier). In all 3 cars I was able to get the seat installed tight enough to pass an inspection. The nice thing is that my kids are ancient enough now to climb into the seats by themselves and place their arms in the straps (they know the routine). Of course, we still need to buckle/adjust them in. I reckon we'll get at least a few more years of use out of these seats with no problem, then it's onto the next size. But then again, the way that seatbelt laws are going, our kids will probably have to sit in some kind of car seat until they are 16! :P |
We like this carseat! Safe AND reasonably priced.

While we all know that the Britax seats are some of the best, most of us are not able to fork out that kind of cash for a carseat - mainly since most of us need more than one. I did weeks of searching, comparing, checking out at the store, shopping around, looking at reviews, etc. trying to find just the right carseat. I wanted something that would keep kiddo safe, be simple to use, look nice, fit in my small car while still rear-facing, and that I wouldn't regret spending my well earned money on.
We unquestionably like this seat! It's comfortable for one thing. When I first took it out of the box I had to laugh cuz it looked more comfortable than my recliner in my living room! My daughter was starting to get kinda cramped in the infant seat we had bought for her.
We like the straps in this for two reasons: 1) They don't have to be unthreaded, adjusted and rethreaded through slots that are hard to see, let alone fit a strap through - you simply go them up and down. It's nice since in the summer you can slide them down and in the winter when the child's wearing sweaters & coats and such you just slide them up a small. 2) The straps adjust DOWN. I always felt like I was going to slice into the soft skin on my daughters neck while adjusting the straps up over the shoulders. With this one, you just pull down until all the slack is at the sides on the bottom and then twist the knob until it's tight. Wha-la.
We also like the adjusting knob. It's simple to use and very nice. No more limp strap between baby's legs. Just twist the knob to tense up. Push the small lever and twist the knob in the opposite management to loosen. Very simple.
It's also really simple to get the cover off for washing. My daughter recently managed to get a lid off of her cup and poured it all over herself and the seat. I took the cover off, washed it in the washing apparatus on gentle cycle, dried it in the drier for 15 minutes on low heat and then let it sit out overnight to end drying. It was dry and ready to be re-installed in the morning.
It's also simple to go this carseat around in the car. The base is very "seat friendly" importance it fits nicely in the middle of the car. In my car, the middle seat is down a small lower than the two side seats (not as much padding in the middle) and it fits nicely into the small groove lacking overlapping onto the side seats.
Anyways, if you were on the fence about what changeable seat to buy, I hope I have been able to help you make your pronouncement. We liked this seat so much, we bought a 2nd one for Daddy's car and will be soon purchasing a further for Grandma's car. |
The best seat for the money

| This seat was very simple to bed in. It is very comfortable for my 9 month ancient. Reclined nicely in the rear facing position. It is very nicely padded. The straps adjust so easily! Just turn the knob to accommodate thicker or thinner clothing. Plenty of on the rise room. At home with a manufacture date of just 1 month ago. Cons: This seat is huge and heavy. It would be hard to use if you plot on switching cars a lot. |
