Evenflo Triumph 65 LX Convertible Car Seat - Santee

I love this car seat. It was a little hard to install but once we got it figured out, it has worked out quite well. My son enjoys sitting up tall in this car seat.

This seat has already been in an accident and did its job perfectly...but really, so do all of them I'd imagine. It is a little bulky, but very comfortable. The tightening mechanism is great. The only negative I have is that there are no pads on the straps to go on either side of the child's neck, but that is a minor detail.

i needed 2 new car seats for my boys and after looking all over I decided on these and I have not been disappointed. they installed easy and after a day or two I really love the dial on the side for tightening and loosening. my older son loves his cup holder even if it does fall off occasionally. overall a great deal and my boys seem very comfy in them!

Love this car seat! My husband and I have 2 of these car seats in each of our cars. We bought a 5th one for my Mom so she can take our oldest daughter to and from school. Since our baby has out grown the infant seat we just purchased our 6th one! This one is also for Grandma's car. We received it in just a few days after placing the order. It was in perfect condition. No complaints here.

Great color, size, and comfort level. Color hides dirt and stains and is neutral for boy or girl. Large enough for plenty of growing room. Soft with cushions and head rest. One flaw is the self adjusting straps. Straps slide down so that when you try to put baby in the car, you need three hands: two hands to pull the straps back up and one to hold he baby. Since three hands is not the norm for most people (lol), it requires you to put baby in seat then try to reach behind them and pull the straps up. It's not impossible, but it's enough that I would not buy this style again. I love the car seat except for that. I have not investigated if they make this model with different straps. If so, I would buy that. Also, the price it pretty much unbeatable.

There aren't enough words to describe how much I love this carseat. My son is very comfortable, it fits nicely in the backseat of my Honda crv which has a small space but it fits with room to spare. I LOVE that the straps can be easily adjusted without having to take the whole thing out. Worth every penny! I wish I would have gotten this when my older son was a baby.

This carseat is certainly just as good if not easier to use in some ways than my Britax Marathon seat. All the adjustments to the belt straps can be made without removing the seat (or the child) which is the best way to get a good fit.

We've only used this car seat in the rear facing position so far, so I am not sure about forward facing. To setup, I had to do some adjustments in order for the latch system to work in the rear facing position. It wasn't difficult if you followed the directions. Took me about 25-30 minutes total between changing the straps and putting the car seat in the car (and watching a baby, while he played in the box). The seat is a bit bulky and sits up high, which I like because the baby can almost see out the back window, yet it doesn't affect the drivers seat as bad (as far as pushing on the back of the seat). I did have to use a rolled up towel to help level the seat. When attaching it in the car, I sat in the seat and pulled to tighten the latch. It was very tight and didn't move. The only reason why I am giving this 4 stars is because, when in the rear facing position, it is a bit difficult to use the tighten and loosen knobs for the straps. There are knobs on both sides, which is nice, but they are towards the end of the car seat with smooshes into the actual car's back seat. So, when you try to turn the knobs your hand will hit the seat, making it difficult to make sure the harness is tight enough (wouldn't be problem forward facing). It just takes a bit longer to tighten, but not enough of a problem to say the seat sucks or wouldn't be worth the awesome deal! He seems very comfortable in it, as we have it reclined all the way, and with the help of the towel... he doesn't tip forward.

Love how big the seat is. GI'ves my lil man plenty of growing room and the reclinging is awesome. I don't like how the straps move, I always have to adjust them back up. I also dislike the loosing of the straps, it's really hard. I do like how he can see out so well and of course makes it better for us all in the car!

The Evenflo Triumph is working great for us so far. It has solid construction, and it was easy to install. The tension dial on the side for the harness makes it really easy to get our little girl in and out. I am definitely happy with it and would recommend it to others.The only thing I'd comment on is that it is technically rated for infants as small as 5 pounds. I used an infant car seat until my daughter outgrew it, and I'm glad I did. I can't imagine putting her in this when she was newborn! Mainly this is because even when it's rear facing, it doesn't recline very much. And it's a big seat. So before they have head control, I just can't imagine them fitting well in this, even with inserts.

This car seat is easy to install and corfortable for my daughter to ride in. It takes up a lot of space, but other than that, we really like it.
