Customer Review: Love It!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this car seat. The harness never needs threading/rethreading. The straps are easily adjusted with the tension knobs on each side. And the fabric is super soft and comfy. The seat is really cushiony. My 8-month-old son loves it too. The only drawbacks are that it's a little heavy, especially for a little person, and it's bulky. I have a Honda Pilot, and at first it looked too big but I've gotten used to it so now it looks fine. And as long as the seat doesn't end up being moved a lot, then the weight's not an issue. Still...small prices to pay for a great product. I've had the seat for two months now and have never had a problem with it. Some have written about twisted straps, but I have yet to experience that myself. I was really iffy about buying this product online because I like to see and feel certain products before buying, but I don't regret my purchase at all. I am extremely and completely satisfied with this purchase and would definitely buy it again.Customer Review: Wonderful Seat
Summary: 5 Stars
I chose this seat because of it's high safety ratings, but it is a very comfortable ride for my 17 month old. I probably wouldn't use it for a newborn, because it doesn't recline as much as our infant seat (we are still riding rear-facing), but it is great at this age. We've taken it on a long trip and he was able to sleep comfortably for a long period of time. The red plastic pieces on the harness DOES create some discomfort, however, after I purchased some velcro strap covers that shields his neck from that area, it's not been a problem. I was worried that this seat would be too big to fit rear-facing in my Honda CRV, but it is a perfect fit! I love love love the tightening mechanism for the belt - I don't know why all car seat manufacturers don't do this. We had the Costco Scenera, which was a economical but good seat, but it was next to impossible to tighten and lossen the straps. This is the best feature a seat could have.
Overall, we love the Triumph Advance!

I have a one and a half year old who is average height but 1% for weight - so he could not be foward facing for a while. THis carseat is wonderful but may not be for everyone... we have a 04 Corolla and this seat does fit into the middle seat but it is a little tall but I can still see out the back window. Also, it is kind of wide, others can still sit in the backseat, but it is definitely tight. The seat itself is quite roomy - my son loves that his toys can sit with him in his chair and he can see out the windows. The tightening mechanisms on both sides are wonderful and easy to work. And since they are independent of eachother I can make sure that no matter what he is wearing I can adjust them everytime I put my son in the car (it only takes a few seconds to turn the dials).The only thing my son did not like was the little head rest - he ripped it right off! But all in all this seat is wonderful - easy to install rear facing and will work for us for a very long time!Customer Review: FAIL

I bought this car seat for my Down Snydrome child, whom is unable to communicate as well as has a high tolerance for pain. He would fussed in his car seat after some time since I have used it but assumed that he just was tired of riding around per any child can get. Last week after he has been in this carseat over a YEAR. I had to rush out the door taking him without any clothes on. He was just in a diaper. When I reached my destination I discovered a very large red area in the lower part of his back. When I felt the carseat in the area matching region of redness on his back it had a very large hard bump and a hard plastic hook as well in that spot. NO way he could even adjust himself out of the discomfort. I have managed to miss this discomfort to this point which really ticks me off. This carseat is crap. If they cant get the basics right, it makes me question its whole intergrity. I will be pursuing getting my money back from Evenflo.Customer Review: Fabulous seat!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this seat for my 8 mo. old son who had outgrown his infant carrier. It is rear facing in my car-a Chevy Malibu. It is so easy to use and get him and out of, plus is very padded and seems comfy for long car trips. It sits higher so he can see out the window, which he loves. Is large but does NOT impede my view in the back, and the front passenger seat can still sit at a comfortable position for anyone 6 ft tall.
The safety ratings on this are excellent, the car seat has been around for years and has been updated nicely. We used this same model for my daughter 6 years ago. There is no need to spend $$$ on a Britax when this has the same safety ratings and comfort level, for half the price.
I bought another one for our other car, and would buy these for anyone with a babe. Plus the harness weight limit is 50 pounds, which is perfect. He will need a booster by then anyway.
Quality car seat for excellent price.
