still going!

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!

Awesome car seat

So far this car seat has been easy to use and my daughter rides in it very well. It fits nicely in our vehicle and we love the color.

Too Big and not comfortable

Do yourself a favor and get the Britax Marathon instead. The Evenflo is big, bulky, heavy and apparently not comfortable for my 9 month old. He could not fall asleep in it, His head would always fall forward. I bought the Britax Marathon for our second car and love it. Considering donating/selling the Evenflo and getting another Marathon. The marathon is much lighter, very easy to get my baby in/out with the straps and he falls asleep, head looks comfy!
