4.0 out of 5 stars Nice car seat August 3, 2011

By Jennifer Shaw

I researched a bunch of different car seats and decided to go with this one because it was more of a mid-range one with all of the features that I was looking for. I had bought our first son an Alpha Omega Elite and it's OK, but I have been less than impressed with it at times. I have only had the car seat for a couple of weeks so far, but I am very satisfied with it and am glad that I didn't spend the extra $100 on a Britax and I will be purchasing one for my husband's car also (once my son can sit forward facing).

PROS:
1) The Infinite Slide Harness is really easy to use. No having to rethread!
2) The harness tightening system took me a few minutes to figure out but also is very convenient.
3) The chair fabric is really plush and soft, something that I was concerned about when I saw a different Evenflo car seat at Target that had kind of a rougher material.
4) My son seems to fall asleep every time I put him in the car seat, even when it's just a 5 minute trip from our local grocery store.
5) The crotch strap has a few positions, the furthest one being far enough out that it fit even my 40 lb almost 4- year old son. This was a HUGE problem I saw with a lot of the car seats that claim you can keep your child in a harness until 50-65 lbs (ahem Graco Nautilus) The only other one that I saw when I went to a baby store with a crotch strap that my older son wasn't almost sitting on was one of the Britax ones but my husband forbade me to spend $200+ on a car seat.
6) I saw something about the straps twisting in another review and so far I have not had this problem (a really annoying problem with my Alpha Omega Elite) I hope to not have this problem with this seat.
7) I know this is superficial, but the seat just looks really nice.... It looks exactly like it does in the picture.

CONS:
1) The cupholder sucks, it actually says that you are only supposed to use it for softer paper cups (ie. not hard plastic sippy cups?) but in the grand scheme of things, who cares?
2) The chair is pretty big, I have it rear-facing in my 2006 Jetta TDI but I am so short (5' 3") that I have to drive with the seat all the way up anyways. There is only a couple of inches from the top of the carseat to the back of my seat, so my 6' husband would never be able to drive with it rear-facing. There is also no room for anyone else in the back seat of my car now with the 2 car seats, but I didn't really expect there to be. Guess I just need to buy a bigger car :)
3) The straps did not come with the little cushiony things on them, so the first time my son was in it for an extended period of time he got red welts on his neck. Not so happy about that but it was easily fixed by purchasing after market ones from Amazon (JJ Cole Collections Strap Cover in Graphite They are really soft on both sides and look nice too) Had it not been for this problem I would have given the seat 5 stars.

Also, if you haven't signed up for Amazon Mom yet, do that before you purchase this car seat. You get a free subscription to Prime for I think 3 months or so and you get free 2-day shipping and $3.99 overnight shipping. I got the car seat in 2 days AND it extended my Prime membership for I think another 5 months because of the cost. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Evenflo Carseat September 11, 2011

I'll be honest, I was choosing between this & the Graco My Ride 65. I decided, aesthetically speaking, I liked the Graco more. I went to the store & bought it. We came home, installed it, tried to strap our rear facing child into it, and put it back in the box. We then went on Amazon.com & bought one of these Evenflo Triumph 65 DLX. The Graco has that tether you pull between the child's knees. Well, when your child is rear-facing, that's almost impossible to tighten because the seat is in the way. I received the Evenflo, and fell in love. I bought a second for my toddler to have one as well.

PROS
*It rates very well on Consumer Reports
*You don't have to remove the straps in order to change the height. Instead, the straps move with the child, so, I can
switch my infant & my toddler back & forth & never change a thing, just strap them in, and tighten the straps!

*The tightening mechanism is fool proof, seriously, anyone can do it, no matter your strength. You literally just crank a
knob & it does all the work...to loosen, you just push a lever & pull the strap as loose as you want it...genius!

*Per my toddler, it's a very comfortable seat, to quote, "I love my new carseat! It's super comfy!"

CONS
*The cupholder is so flimsy its ridiculous, but, it's a cupholder, and it holds cups ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it! July 7, 2011

By A. Nicolaysen

This is a GREAT car seat! We have owned and used this car seat for about two months now, and we absolutely love it. We upgraded to this car seat from the infant carrier we were using because our eight-month-old baby had gotten too big. This car seat gets excellent safety ratings. We like the infant cushion/insert that comes with the DLX; it makes our baby very comfortable and safe. While this car seat is significantly bigger than our old one, it also goes to 65 pounds. We love that it is both rear facing and forward facing and has the LATCH accessories for easy installation. It fits well in the back of our Toyota Camry (we didn't have to move the front seats). Our baby seems to really enjoy riding in it and has actually traveled much better since we started using this seat. We were worried that it would be really wide and take up a lot of space in the backseat of our car, but it isn't too huge. Adjusting the straps for growth is EXTREMELY easy to do and not at all cumbersome, like some other car seats we've seen. The fabric cover comes off/on very easily (but doesn't fall off with use or look cheap) and is machine washable.

When we were purchasing the seat, we were choosing between this car seat and the Graco MyRide 65 convertible seat; we are so happy we bought this one instead! Though the Graco seat is a little cheaper, I saw it in a store and it looked really cheap (fabric cover falling off, etc). The Graco seat also looked a lot wider in the store because of the two cup holders in the arms.

We HIGHLY recommend this seat to everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars saved my son October 22, 2012

By hernandezmom

How do you rate the car seat that saved your son's life?

We were in a horrific roll over collision when my son was 11 months old. When I crawled through the upside-down SUV to the backseat my son was hanging upside down in his carseat completely unharmed and laughing. The Evenflo carseat did everything it was supposed to do & it held him in all the right ways. I bought a brand new one the day after the accident.

Now that I have baby #2 on the way I am buying another one. I reccomend this car seat to everyone I know.
