Car seats

Comment:

We bought this car seat on the recommendation of our neighbors, who had just moved their son out of one. Our almost-two-year-old kiddo seems comfortable, and enjoys getting into the seat to go for rides. I love that you can adjust the height of the shoulder straps without taking the whole seat apart. It makes it much easier to get a toddler situated - just pull up or down until the straps are resting on the shoulders. I also love the strap-tightening mechanism. It's a rotary crank that ratchets tighter, rather than a strap to pull. It feels very secure and there's no way curious little fingers can reach and undo the mechanism. <br /><br />Rear-facing felt like a more secure fit in our 2005 Honda Accord than forward-facing. We went from a Chicco Keyfit 30 infant seat, and the push-on LATCH connectors spoiled us. The hook connectors of the Evenflo are difficult to attach to our car's LATCH system, and the strap is hard to get tight enough to make the seat feel extremely secure, especially in forward-facing. I've sat in the seat while my husband pulls the strap, and there comes a point where it doesn't tighten any more. It still feels safe, and got the rubber stamp of approval from the installation officials, but it feels a bit wobbly to me after our Chicco.<br /><br />Overall, we still really like the seat, and will probably get another one for baby #2 if s/he outgrows the Chicco before the kiddo hits 65 pounds or 50 inches (the seat's limits).

We were given a second hand triumph for our 2nd car. We liked it so much we purchased one as our son's primary car seat when it was time to upgrade.
