Customer Reviews

Great seat - better than the older DLX version
We recently purchased this carseat since our youngest outgrew her infant seat. I should tell you that our oldest has been happily using an older Evenflo Triumph Advance DLX Convertible 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 love 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 adjusting a lot easier! Another new feature is that the shoulder belt height is adjustable without taking the back of the seat off - you simply move 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, everything else is pretty much the same as the DLX line, and that's a good 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.

Very Satisfied
This car seat has met our needs very well. Our child became to big for his infant seat at 7 months so we needed a car seat that could still grow with him i.e. front and rear facing. He sustained a neck injury at birth so comfort was also a concern but we didn't have the money to spend on a Britax.

I love this seat because:

* Most everything on the car seat is straightforward and easy to use
* In rear facing there are 3 adjustable recline settings
* In forward facing 2 adjustable recline settings are available. We still use the most recline we can to help with sleeping in the car and all around comfort.
* 5 point harness fits snug and secure
* Harness buckles are not too tight and difficult to use like some cheaper car seat models we have tried.
* Though the built in pillow doesn't prevent his head from slouching to the side during sleep it offers a nice padded and safe wedge to hold his head up when a blanket roll is placed beneath it.
* He is very comfortable in the seat.
* The shoulder straps adjust as needed for the child's growth but also remain snug even though they are adjustable.
* Safe up to 50 Lb.

Improvements could be made on:
* The shoulder straps by the neck have no padding and can become abrasive the the baby's neck.
* Obviously a better instruction manual.
* The cup holder is floppy and kind of worthless.

He is old enough to be forward facing now and the seat provides a nice height for him to enjoy the outside world but also be snug within the car. We drive a Chevy Malibu. This seat is worth the extra $20 to $30 you might spend on a cheaper model.

Great carseat- would recommend!
We have two of these; one in each car. I like that this has the 3rd strap near the back of the head to anchor into the back of my wife's SUV seat. I like that this is adjustable at the shoulder level, and not just the 3 or 4 preset adjustments that other kid seats have. We chose this seat based upon consumer reports, and they were correct. It's a great seat, easy to clean, study, stylish, and with plenty of adjustments. It can be used front or rear facing, so this helps us because we can re-use it with our 2nd child.
