Baby Products Reviews of Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat - Harbortown
Customer Review: This is THE car seat you want!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this seat to replace the britax marathon I got for my baby shower. My daughter is a large 5 month old so I was ready to transfer her to a rear facing convertible seat. I wanted it to be user friendly and last for a LONG time. This seat fits the bill! I love the way it adjusts with ease. I think that alone makes it much more safe. Your child is more likely to be properly fitted if you can adjust it properly every time the seat is used. It was also much easier to secure in the vehicle than the britax. There is a place to secure an unused tether strap and locking clip system to if you do not use them instead of just tucking them in somewhere. The seat also provides side impact protection that the marathon does not. The cover is easily removable which is great for keeping it clean. The strap between the legs also has adjustable positions to get a proper fit. I was unable to get the marathon to fit properly on my daughter's legs. Finally, I put my 5 1/2 year old in the seat (without having to unthread the straps so it took all of 20 seconds to adjust) and she fit great in the seat too! Overall so awesome I ordered a second for my husband's car! Customer Review: Excellent carseat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought two Evenflo Triumph carseats. One for my toddler and another for my baby. Both kids love their seats and, more importantly, I love them too! The straps adjust-both in height and length-easily to fit your child correctly. No more taking a carseat out of the car and reworking straps when your child needs the shoulder straps moved up.
Also, I have always hated disassembling a carseat in order to clean the cover. This carseat cover comes off easily and is also easy to put back on.
I would recommend this carseat to use with toddlers and babies! It has been a great purchase for our family!
Customer Review: Good, functional car seat
Summary: 5 Stars
This car seat was easy to install and was much more padded and just seemed "safer" than other comparable car seats that we looked at. We bought it for our 5-month-old son and he took to it immediately.
The biggest plus for us is the fact that the shoulder straps are easily adjusted up or down to fit the height of our son's shoulders, unlike other models that require the straps to be pulled out the back of the seat and installed in another slot. This model allows for easy sliding up and down of the straps, which makes it a breeze to make a perfect fit.
Customer Review: Great Seat, but big and heavy
Summary: 4 Stars
My 6 month old fits nicely in the seat and seems to be very comfortable. occasionally his head will flop over, but not very often. 2 of my favorite features are the adjustable harness knobs so you dont have to take it completely apart when they grow and the strap that is between the legs is adjustable too for my baby that has really big thighs. The only drawbacks are the weight, which wouldnt be a big deal if you have a car seat for each vehicle, and it takes up a lot of room in the backseat so my other child has a difficult time getting his seat belt buckled when sitting next to this seat but we moved it to the side instead of in the middle and dont have to worry about that much anymore. Its worth the money and I would recommend it.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.
