Baby Products Reviews of Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat - Harbortown
Customer Review: Not a comfortable car seat
Summary: 2 Stars
Still looking for a comfortable and safe car seat. I really wanted to like this car seat, but the red plastic devices of torture at the top of the straps dig into tender little baby and toddler necks.
After reviewing top Consumer Reports picks, we opted to purchase the Evenflo Triumph Advance car seat. It was better rated than the Britax especially for children who are large for their age like mine. I also like to be practical and was hoping to find a well-rated but affordable car seat.
What I like about it:
- InfiniteSlide Harness Adjustment, it is wonderful to not have to un-thread and re-thread to move up to a taller set of holes.
What I dislike about it:
- perhaps to make the InfiniteSlide Harness Adjustment work, the red portion of the straps up by the neck poke into my son's neck to the point that MANY times I have had to pull over to pull up his shirt or put something between the plastic and his skin, it has left angry red marks & I can see why he was uncomfortable.
- not at all comfortable for a sleeping child, when he has fallen asleep it lets his head dangle at a precarious angle and he has woken up crying 'neck hurt!' and another time it was impacting circulation such that his arm was blueish & he woke shaking his arm & crying.
- cupholder is flimsy & not at a angle the child in the car seat can truly reach it (not that a cupholder makes or breaks a car seat, bc they much prefer to throw it in that endless game of parenting fetch).
Customer Review: LOVE this car seat!

We started looking into a new car seat when our 5 month old began feeling confined in his baby seat...and was getting WAY too heavy for me to carry around. I originally wanted to get him a Britax because I have heard great things about them, but as many have mentioned, they are very expensive! I was worried that our son was still too small to switch to the bigger seat, but read some reviews for the Evenflo Triumph and decided to give it a try! Our son loves to look out the window now and falls asleep easily whenever we take him out. He used to cry in the car, but now he looks around and is very content in this seat. I was also able to connect our baby mirror to the top of the headrest so that I can still see him! There didn't seem to be enough incline for him at first, so we rolled a towel underneath and now it is perfect! We are very glad that we switched to this car seat, and it is one that our son can use for years to come...up until 50 pounds! This is a great buy for anyone, and an extremely comfortable seat for any little one!!!Customer Review: Great Product

I love the seat and so does my daughter. I've read reviews that say they can't see their child because of the protective wings, but with my rear view and baby mirrors, I don't any problem seeing mine. It seems a little harder to use than I've read in some reviews, but I haven't been using it long. After 3 kids and a total of 6 car seats, I've realized that they all get a lot easier to use through experience. I do like that the straps adjust so easily for her height and she looks very comfy. This is my 3rd Evenflo convertible and I'd buy more. Fedex shipped my product and (as always it seems) they damaged the box, had to ship it in thier own, and were late. If you can - have your company ship UPS.Customer Review: Great Carseat!

This carseat was so much easier to install than others I've tried before. It is VERY comfortable for our son and very safe! We love it!Customer Review: still going!
Summary: 4 Stars
My son outgrew his infant seat at 5 months, so in the summer of 2005 we bought two of these Triumph seats (one for each car). They're still going strong. My son still uses them, but we'll move him into an appropriate booster this winter when he turns 4.
My only real beef with these is that the fabric has faded and worn through in some spots. They're easy to install and easy to adjust. In fact, they're a little TOO easy to adjust. Every now and then I'll try to put the boy in his seat and be unable to clip him in, which is when I ask "have you been playing with the knobs again?" The answer is always "yes mommy."
I drive a Subaru, my husband has an Impala, and the seat fits well in both cars. We've taken it on planes (big and bulky, but fit just fine) and installed it into rental cars. It's always performed well, and our son likes that the seat sits high so he can see out the windows. I'm looking for a snazzy seat cover to freshen them up but anticipate getting another couple of years out of them. We had another baby this year and she'll be needing to move to the big seat sometime this winter. Hopefully her brother won't mind!
