Evenflo Triumph Advance DLX in Durango

*I ordered this seat because it got the highest ratings on Consumer Reports that I saw and is good for a baby greater than 40lbs- i didn't want to have to buy ANOTHER seat later. The colors are beautiful, very gender-neutral, and is VERY snuggly for my baby. I like how easy it is to remove the cushion directly under her butt for easy cleaning in the event of "diaper spill over" which happens more often than I'd like to say :o/ so you don't have to remove the ENTIRE cover.*The ONLY complaint I have is that it's a bit wide for the center of the back seat in my car- I have an '05 Honda Accord. It's not TERRIBLE but it is a bit crowded if someone is to sit on either side of her...okay for skinny people only. It's currently rear-facing and I'm afraid it's not going to be suitable for passengers on her sides when we switch it to forward facing. And unfortunately, Albee Baby will not accept a return/exchange if the seat has been used at all. So I'm going to have to get another on after all :oP

We LOVE this seat! Comfy, upright enough for her to see, reclined enough for sleeping, nice padding, easy to install, easy to use, great fit for baby, perfect fit in our TINY car!!! LOVE IT!

The Evenflo Triumph arrived quickly across the country in original packaging. The seat has very deep wings that provide excellent head support during nap time and offering a great deal of head protection.The seat's straps are very easy to adjust at shoulder height. The crotch strap has two depths and it is easy to move it back or forth, but not as easy as the shoulder adjustment.The cup holder is flimsy and in marked opposition to the rest of the seat which is very well made.The seat cover is very comfortable and the fabric feels nice against exposed skin. Given its dark color I expected it to be hotter than it is. The straps easily stay out of the way when putting a little one in the seat, keeping hot metal from contacting delicate skin. It does not have a velcro holder, but the straps are more than long enough to hook outside the body of the seat.Installation was very easy. The latch strap clips went on quickly and then the strap tightened the seat down when I applied my best tug. The connectors were not alligator clips, but the Hook style. They took a few more seconds to install, but feel very secure.The seat is quite tall and in the middle of the back seat of my Chevy Trailblazer, it intrudes into the view from my rearview mirror. All in all it is a very sturdy, easy to use, comfortable seat. My daughter, who cried the moment she was placed in her infant seat, is quite happy for drives around town as well as naps in the Triumph seat. The fabric is much nicer than I expected and the chest clip and buckle work easily. The recline feature took a bit more muscle than I expected, but that may loosen up with use, and did not cause an impediment to use.In all, I am very pleased with the seat. It is sturdy, safe, and fits well in the vehicle. I had a Britax for the older kids, but it has expired and I think this seat is comparable to the Britax in quality and safety, but not cuteness factor. Brown just can't compete with cowmooflage, but for a $109 pricetag, I can live without cute prints.

I really researched carseats and this got great reviews from parents and many different sites and a good review from consumerreports.com. It is pretty big so if you have a small car or multiple seats it might be an issue. It was very easy to install.

After spending hours looking at various reviews online, we settled for this seat. It is by far the softest one I have seen with the extra pillows you can add. It is kinda clumsy, but probably due to extra safety. Would recommend.
