Customer Reviews

Best Buy for my paranoid self!
I am an extremely paranoid person, as most of us are when it comes to our kids. I did a TON of research on the safety of car seats and am glad to say this was really smart purchase! My daughter and son were in the graco snug ride till they were about 4 months old ( thankfully that was one of the infant carrier car seats that passed the safety standards, just recently released!). We moved her into this seat for several reasons.

1. You couldn't beat the safety rating (check out consumer reports) and the value. This was definitely well worth the purchase. We have 2 of them as I made sure to place both of my kids in the same seat and they are 2 years apart in age!

2. I am a big person, so when I think about having to sit in a car for a long period of time, cushioning was very important to me, because I wanted the kids to be comfortable. We will be driving back and forth to California from Florida every year starting this year. I really do not want the children to be in a seat that offers them nothing. My daughter thinks she is the queen of the world when she is riding around in this seat. My son had issues riding in the car until we switched over to this seat! He loves it.

3. This seat is easy as can be to use. My advice, read the instructions! They are behind the cloth in the car seat. To wash this and protect it, I usually take the cover and padding sections off and place them in king size pillow case, tie it off and throw them in the washing machine, then I hang it all to dry. Thankfully this dries pretty quickly.

4. The only problem I came across was the straps getting stuck sometimes when you are trying to loosen them. With some work between my sister in law ( which by the way has the same car seat and loves it) and my self, we realized that there was dirt and crumbs getting stuck in the gear that loosens the car seat straps. If you look at the seat area of the car seat where the buckle is, you will see a flat metal plate that the buckle attaches to. That is where stuff gets down into, so to clear this up, when we clean the car, we started using the vacuum to clean that section of the car seat really well. Since we started to do that we have had NO problems.

5. The reclining levels are AWESOME! My kids are always comfortable even when it is the long drives. The latch system is easy to use and a definite must have! I really could not have found a better car seat.

I thought that I would have to buy the 2-3 hundred dollar car seats to find one that I would be comfortable with. Thankfully I didn't waste my money and I spent the time to do the research. Trust me when I say, YOU WILL LOVE THIS SEAT AND FEEL SAFE USING IT!

Convenience, Comfort, and Peace of Mind
If your infant cries every time you put him in his carrier and starts screaming after only a few minutes in the car (as our second-born did), then you should switch to this car seat. Car rides were miserable for us when we were using the infant carriers, which tend to be skimpy on the cushioning to keep them lightweight. So, when our son was 3 months old, we ditched the carrier and bought this seat. He's a strapping toddler and still loving to go for rides.

Here's what we love about this seat:

1. The knobs on the sides of the seat make adjusting the straps relatively easy. Not completely pain free; loosening the shoulder straps can require a little finesse, but I think that is actually a safety feature rather than a problem with the seat. It's easier to loosen the shoulder straps when the child is not fastened in. So, when I remember, I will sometimes loosen the straps when I take my son out of the car. The next time I put him in, I simply fasten the straps and turn the knob to tighten them as needed. This is especially helpful in the fall and spring, when you never know how many layers of clothing your child will be wearing.

2. This seat makes car rides peaceful and enjoyable for the entire family. The cushioning in this seat is downright luxurious. From the first time we put our son in this seat, we never had a problem with him dreading car rides. When he was an infant, this seat also offered enough support and recline to eliminate the "floppy head syndrome" that makes grandparents cringe. It also sits up very high, so the child can see out the car windows easily.

3. Finally, the safety ratings. With the recent revelations from Consumer Reports' testing of infant carriers, I think we need to ask ourselves what we may be risking for the sake of being able to carry a sleeping baby into a restaurant. With this seat, you don't have to worry about the seat separating from the base, and the side-impact protection is stellar.

I'm a mom of three boys. I've done my research and experienced some trial and error in car seats. The Triumph is hands-down the best seat on the U.S. market, including the more expensive Britax models.

Maybe not the easiest, but definately the SAFEST!
[...] gives this seat its highest rating for "Infant LATCH crash protection" and for "Toddler LATCH crash protection" and for "Infant belt crash protection." It gets only the second highest rating on things like ease of use. Is it perfect? NO! But, it is the BEST for crashes. I was rear-ended this week and my twins are safe and unhurt and that's what really matters! Deal with the little stuff and buy your carseat to keep the kids safe!
