Baby Products Reviews of Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat - Harbortown
Customer Review: We love this carseat! Safe AND affordable.
Summary: 5 Stars
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 - especially 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 easy 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 absolutely love 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 move 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 little. 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 easy to use and very nice. No more dangling strap between baby's legs. Just twist the knob to tighten. Push the little lever and twist the knob in the opposite direction to loosen. Very easy.
It's also really easy 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 machine on gentle cycle, dried it in the drier for 15 minutes on low heat and then let it sit out overnight to finish drying. It was dry and ready to be re-installed in the morning.
It's also easy to move this carseat around in the car. The base is very "seat friendly" meaning it fits nicely in the middle of the car. In my car, the middle seat is down a little lower than the two side seats (not as much padding in the middle) and it fits nicely into the little groove without overlapping onto the side seats.
Anyways, if you were on the fence about what convertible seat to buy, I hope I have been able to help you make your decision. We liked this seat so much, we bought a 2nd one for Daddy's car and will be soon purchasing another for Grandma's car.
Customer Review: Great Seat!

I have a 10 month old son & this was my first time buying a convertible car seat. I bought it based on the reviews and it is an absolutely awesome seat! I was able to install it myself. It was so simple. Adjusting the harness straps couldn't be easier. My son is totally comfortable in this seat. My mom also bought the same one for her Saturn, which I also installed, & it fits great in her car as well. I didn't have any problems getting the seat level or tightly secured. My only issue with the seat itself is the head support. It isn't stiff enough to actually support the head & my son's head slumps to the side when he falls asleep, but it has never slumped forward as I have read in other car seat reviews. Also, we have a Honda Element. The back seats of the Element are raised, so with this seat in the rear facing position, it's very hard to see over & around it when backing up or switching lanes, but I would chalk that flaw up to Honda & not the seat. All the car seats are pretty much the same height, so this would happen with any brand. In my mom's Saturn, it's very easy to see over & around. The back windows aren't obstructed at all in her car. I highly recommend this seat!Customer Review: Great Seat!

I purchased two of these seats for my 9 month old. I had to use the LATCH system, couldn't install tight enough w/the belts rear facing. The seat is roomy, and comfy, and DS falls asleep easily in it. I haven't used the optional cup holder yet. Get a window cover for your door when you change over from the infant seat, the sun goes directly into their little face. Love this seat!Customer Review: Great seat for good price

I am very happy with this seat. We moved my daughter into this at 8 months (~22lbs 28") facing backwards. Its a nice comfortable seat for her. I'm happy with the way the straps easily adjust and don't chafe her. Installing it into the car was a snap. I can't wait to be able to turn it around so she can see where the car is going rather than where it's been.Customer Review: Nice seat at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
This car seat is a great seat at a great price. While it is a little on the bulky side, it is easily installed and very well designed. It seems well padded and comfortable and adjusts easily no matter what the baby is wearing at the time.
