Evenflo Triumph Advance Review

December 2, 2009 | 767 Comments | 14,553 views

One of the most difficult choices a parent has to make before leaving home with their precious newborn baby is finding the safest and most convenient car seat that fits into your budget. For our family, the right choice is to use a convertible car seat that grows with our baby from the day they leave the hospital until they are toddling around the house.

Features We Liked

The TensionRight™ knob makes it very easy to adjust the harness length by simply turning the knob as opposed to pulling on a strap that is used on most other car seats.
Having the fold-down cup holder included is a very handy accessory for holding bottles and/or sippy cups to avoid messed in the car.

Features We Didn’t Like

The opening to place the seat belt through the car seat is extremely narrow and difficult to maneuver the seat belt through, even with my smaller hands. Getting the seat belt to go through required the help of my 8 year old son’s small hands.
The width of the car seat at 20 inches wide makes this one difficult to use in a vehicle with multiple car seats.

Overall Impressions

Compared to the many convertible car seats we’ve used in the past, the safety rating most definitely outweighs the few minor inconveniences we experienced. The comfort factor for our infant is also very important and she seems to enjoy the ride much better with the well cushioned Evenflo car seat.

We did have one incident where she soiled the fabric already. Removal and replacement of the car seat cover was much easier than we’ve experienced with other car seats and the fabric held up well to washing.
