I drive 2 vehicles regularly, so I hesitantly ordered 2 carseats before knowing how I'd like them. I liked the idea that they had the 2nd best safety rating. (The first one cost around $300 and I had to get 2). I got a great price on them. I paid $14 less than my sister did for hers on sale at Kmart, and it was even delivered to my door! I also liked the idea that this was the only brand where the belts adjusted with the tension knobs. My Camry does not have the LATCH system, so the carseat was installed by the seatbelt. We had to use a noodle for the correct and recommended 45 degree angle and it worked out fine. We did get it installed so nice and tight that the belt-adjusting knob is a little awkward to access for rear-facing. It was fairly easy to install after we figured it out. Our RAV 4 is equipped with the LATCH system and I thought it would be a piece of cake like the infant carrier was to install. We also used a noodle in the RAV 4 for the right angles. The adjustment buckle for the LATCH belt was very difficult to loosen. My husband had to thread a screwdriver through the loop for leverage to get it to budge as I put my weight into the seat to get it tight enough.
br /
br /What caused me to hate them in the beginning was that the owners manual, that I thought I read thoroughly more than once, did not describe in detail enough that you have to push the tension release button and pull VERY HARD on the straps at the same time to lengthen/loosen the straps. (I especially noticed it in the Camry, since the car seat is plushier than the RAV I guess). I did not see how on earth that the carseat would accomodate him to 50 pounds. The belt was very snug on my baby's chubby thighs. It took a frustrating outing on a Saturday morning to figure out by chance how hard you have to pull to get them to release. Once I figured it out, I do like the carseats. They seems fairly comfortable, but he doesn't seem to doze as much as in the infant carrier...maybe because he's older? I am pleased and think I will like them even better as forward facing seats.

Love it.

This car seat is easy to install. I like the way you can move the harness straps up with out rethreading. Easy to use. My daughter seems comfortable in it.

We love this carseat! Safe AND affordable.

While we all know that the Britax seats are some of the best, most of us are not able to fork out that kind of cash for a carseat - especially since most of us need more than one. I did weeks of searching, comparing, checking out at the store, shopping around, looking at reviews, etc. trying to find just the right carseat. I wanted something that would keep kiddo safe, be easy to use, look nice, fit in my small car while still rear-facing, and that I wouldn't regret spending my well earned money on.
br /
br /We absolutely love this seat! It's comfortable for one thing. When I first took it out of the box I had to laugh cuz it looked more comfortable than my recliner in my living room! My daughter was starting to get kinda cramped in the infant seat we had bought for her.
br /
br /We like the straps in this for two reasons: 1) They don't have to be unthreaded, adjusted and rethreaded through slots that are hard to see, let alone fit a strap through - you simply move them up and down. It's nice since in the summer you can slide them down and in the winter when the child's wearing sweaters coats and such you just slide them up a little. 2) The straps adjust DOWN. I always felt like I was going to slice into the soft skin on my daughters neck while adjusting the straps up over the shoulders. With this one, you just pull down until all the slack is at the sides on the bottom and then twist the knob until it's tight. Wha-la.
br /
br /We also like the adjusting knob. It's easy to use and very nice. No more dangling strap between baby's legs. Just twist the knob to tighten. Push the little lever and twist the knob in the opposite direction to loosen. Very easy.
br /
br /It's also really easy to get the cover off for washing. My daughter recently managed to get a lid off of her cup and poured it all over herself and the seat. I took the cover off, washed it in the washing machine on gentle cycle, dried it in the drier for 15 minutes on low heat and then let it sit out overnight to finish drying. It was dry and ready to be re-installed in the morning.
br /
br /It's also easy to move this carseat around in the car. The base is very "seat friendly" meaning it fits nicely in the middle of the car. In my car, the middle seat is down a little lower than the two side seats (not as much padding in the middle) and it fits nicely into the little groove without overlapping onto the side seats.
br /
br /Anyways, if you were on the fence about what convertible seat to buy, I hope I have been able to help you make your decision. We liked this seat so much, we bought a 2nd one for Daddy's car and will be soon purchasing another for Grandma's car.

Good Value

When my son outgrew his infant carrier, I researched car seats online until I practically qualified for a degree in car seat safety. Britax is the only brand with no negative reviews, but with their starting price around $220, it was completely out of my budget. After much deliberation and many trips to stores to 'try on' different styles, I purchased this one in brown. I love that the straps can be easily adjusted while your child is in the seat, although it does take a few tries to get the hang of it. It was fairly easy to install, but it is enormous! I drive a Ford Escape and we first put it in the middle, rear-facing (the safest position), but there was barely enough room for anyone to sit on the sides. We ended up with it behind the passenger seat, forward facing, much easier for me to interact with my son while driving.
br /I found it at Target on clearance for about $99 and I would recommend this model for anyone who wants a great safety rating and can't afford a Britax.

Great Seat for a great price!

I purchased this carseat for my 7.5 month old son. He was too long for his infant seat and needed to move up while still in a rear facing seat. This seat is the best in my opinion. I love how comfortable he looks in it and how happy he is to be able to see out of the car windows now. It was so easy to install in our little Chevy Cobalt. I was afraid that it may be to big for our car but it fits perfectly! I loved it so much I bought a second one to have an extra seat!

So far, I have had 2 issues with the car seat. The shoulder straps are uneven and I'm not quite sure how it happened since they were even when I first installed it. Also, I felt like the latch system didn't stay tight when I used it, so I switched to using my shoulder seatbelt with the locking clip.
br /Car: I drive a Mazda 3. The seat fits great in the middle position (which it the safest anyway). It actually allows the front seat to be further back than my old Graco Snugride did.
br /Baby: My daughter is 10 1/2 months and we've owned the seat for 2 months.
br /Shoulder Straps: I love the way they adjust for height. There is no slipping the straps through holes, you simply shift them up to the next level when baby gets longer.
br /Adjusting the Straps: Like the ability to adjust using the knob. So far I haven't had any issues with loosening the straps when I need to. I did notice you need to turn the knob BEFORE pulling on the straps to loosen them.
br /Comfort: Seat seems to be comfortable. The buckle does not pinch her legs which some other people complained about. Her feet just touch the back seat of the car. This seat isn't suitable for younger babies. It sits up too straight. My daughter does not like sleeping in it. She stayed awake for a 40 minute drive at 10pm instead of sleeping in it. Of course, she hates sleeping in the car anyway, but she does sleep better in my husband's Cosco Scenera. Other than sleeping in it, she enjoys the ride.
br /Wear and Tear: We use the belt clip for this seat so we never remove it from the vehicle. So far, no wear and tear on the fabric or mechanisms.

Great Seat!

I have a 10 month old son this was my first time buying a convertible car seat. I bought it based on the reviews and it is an absolutely awesome seat! I was able to install it myself. It was so simple. Adjusting the harness straps couldn't be easier. My son is totally comfortable in this seat. My mom also bought the same one for her Saturn, which I also installed, it fits great in her car as well. I didn't have any problems getting the seat level or tightly secured. My only issue with the seat itself is the head support. It isn't stiff enough to actually support the head my son's head slumps to the side when he falls asleep, but it has never slumped forward as I have read in other car seat reviews. Also, we have a Honda Element. The back seats of the Element are raised, so with this seat in the rear facing position, it's very hard to see over around it when backing up or switching lanes, but I would chalk that flaw up to Honda not the seat. All the car seats are pretty much the same height, so this would happen with any brand. In my mom's Saturn, it's very easy to see over around. The back windows aren't obstructed at all in her car. I highly recommend this seat!

I am very happy with this seat. We moved my daughter into this at 8 months (~22lbs 28") facing backwards. Its a nice comfortable seat for her. I'm happy with the way the straps easily adjust and don't chafe her. Installing it into the car was a snap. I can't wait to be able to turn it around so she can see where the car is going rather than where it's been.

I have an 8 month old and he seems very comfortable with this seat! My husband calls it his "lazyboy"! Not only will it last until he turns 5, but the straps are very easy and conventient to adjust and tighten! It is definetly worth the money to spend on this seat! We bought this for the car we use most often and bought a cheaper seat for the other car, but he prefers this seat. I would definetly recommend buying the seat! Well worth the money!

This car seat has proven to be much more comfortable than others we have tried. It is a bit hard to adjust the straps at times and the height of the straps can be a little bit uncomfortable for baby if their head tilts to the side when they go to sleep.I would like to see it recline a little more for when baby goes to sleep.

What a great carseat! I bought this for my 9 month old son after he outgrew the Graco Snugride (loved it too!). It is super easy to install and getting him in and out of it is a breeze. You never have to rethread the straps as the child grows taller because they are easily adjusted even with the child sitting in the seat! I love how the straps tighten with the use of a knob at the base of the seat. My 3 year old has the Alpha Omega Elite and you have to pull the strap in between his legs to tighten the straps. I thought really liked the Alpha Omega Elite until we got the Triumph Advance. Also, washing the carseat cover is a snap...a few hooks to loosen and the whole cover comes off and can be thrown in the washing machine. Our other carseat has to be taken out of the car and almost completely taken apart...what a pain. I actually just boght another Triumph Advance for my 3 year old and retired his Alpha Omega Elite...it just didn't compare! All in all, the Evenflo is easier to install, easier to buckle and unbuckle the kids in, easier to clean, and so much more comfortable!

This is our second car seat. Adjust the straps and tightness is very easy. Our son loves it- it is very comfy, and there is plenty of room. The only downfall of this car seat is it is particularly big. We own a smaller sedan and to seat others in the back seat would be difficult to do for long periods of time.

Good car seat with nice features.

We bought this car seat for our 9 month old who is past 20 lbs. I looked through a ton of car seats before choosing this one, mainly for price, convertibility and safety ratings. This one is decently priced, but is sturdy and comfortable. It was pretty simple to install, though the illustrations weren't extremely clear. I really like how easy it is to loosen and tighten the straps. It looked HUGE when we took it out of the box, but it fits great, rear-facing, in our Corolla.

Still looking for a comfortable and safe car seat. I really wanted to like this car seat, but the red plastic devices of torture at the top of the straps dig into tender little baby and toddler necks.
br /
br /After reviewing top Consumer Reports picks, we opted to purchase the Evenflo Triumph Advance car seat. It was better rated than the Britax especially for children who are large for their age like mine. I also like to be practical and was hoping to find a well-rated but affordable car seat.
br /
br /What I like about it:
br /- InfiniteSlide Harness Adjustment, it is wonderful to not have to un-thread and re-thread to move up to a taller set of holes.
br /
br /What I dislike about it:
br /- perhaps to make the InfiniteSlide Harness Adjustment work, the red portion of the straps up by the neck poke into my son's neck to the point that MANY times I have had to pull over to pull up his shirt or put something between the plastic and his skin, it has left angry red marks I can see why he was uncomfortable.
br /- not at all comfortable for a sleeping child, when he has fallen asleep it lets his head dangle at a precarious angle and he has woken up crying 'neck hurt!' and another time it was impacting circulation such that his arm was blueish he woke shaking his arm crying.
br /- cupholder is flimsy not at a angle the child in the car seat can truly reach it (not that a cupholder makes or breaks a car seat, bc they much prefer to throw it in that endless game of parenting fetch).
br /

LOVE this car seat!

We started looking into a new car seat when our 5 month old began feeling confined in his baby seat...and was getting WAY too heavy for me to carry around. I originally wanted to get him a Britax because I have heard great things about them, but as many have mentioned, they are very expensive! I was worried that our son was still too small to switch to the bigger seat, but read some reviews for the Evenflo Triumph and decided to give it a try! Our son loves to look out the window now and falls asleep easily whenever we take him out. He used to cry in the car, but now he looks around and is very content in this seat. I was also able to connect our baby mirror to the top of the headrest so that I can still see him! There didn't seem to be enough incline for him at first, so we rolled a towel underneath and now it is perfect! We are very glad that we switched to this car seat, and it is one that our son can use for years to come...up until 50 pounds! This is a great buy for anyone, and an extremely comfortable seat for any little one!!!

I love the seat and so does my daughter. I've read reviews that say they can't see their child because of the protective wings, but with my rear view and baby mirrors, I don't any problem seeing mine. It seems a little harder to use than I've read in some reviews, but I haven't been using it long. After 3 kids and a total of 6 car seats, I've realized that they all get a lot easier to use through experience. I do like that the straps adjust so easily for her height and she looks very comfy. This is my 3rd Evenflo convertible and I'd buy more. Fedex shipped my product and (as always it seems) they damaged the box, had to ship it in thier own, and were late. If you can - have your company ship UPS.

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.
br /
br /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."
br /
br /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!

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!

After combing over reviews for days and looking at car seats in stores....I came to the realization that we would be unable to purchase the Britax model because of price. Then I discovered this car seat is rated as safe if not more than the Britax at a third of the cost. This car seat is very big and I would not buy it to move car to car, it would be to difficult. However the size just makes her more comforable and me feel safer about the seat. The options of moving the shoulder harness without re-threading it and adjusting the tightness with the knob is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I highly reccommend this car seat and would never have another one again.

I love these car seats! I got an earlier model for my daughter two years ago that she is still using and I just ordered two of these for my twins. They are so easy to adjust which is a great plus to the safety of the seat anyway. Yes, they are heavy seats but it's not like I am lugging it like you do infant seats. They are probably a bit bulky for smaller cars. We have a van and two seats fit in the back seat just fine. I would totally recommend these to anyone!

After researching a while and trying out different seats in stores my husband and I finally decided on this one. It was rated on CR very closely to the Britax, and at over $100 less we thought it would be a good purchase. Although we are happy overall with the chair, the ratcheting action to adjust the straps does get annoying at times. A friend of mine has a standard Britax with the single button pull and it's much easier. However, for the price difference and safety standads, I think overall this is a very good chair. My daughter likes it, and it's safe, and in the end, I guess that's all that matters. Everything else regarding the chair is easy to set up and install, even in my tiny VW Golf.

Much better than some older Evenflo styles

We have the Titan, and this one is much better. Our biggest complaint is the taking in and out of the car. Which is why we have both, we do not take them out!!!! It is a real pain based on where the straps are to tighten. THen, when it is in, they are a bear to loosen to remove the seat. We loved the crash ratings and consumer reports ratings. The new belt system 5 pt harness is much improved with the knob for tightening. We love the knob, and my wife had a difficult time tightening the titan. We tried others a tthe store and this one was the easiest. The new beverage holder, as many reviews indicate, is a pain and essentially useless compared to the old one. IF you want a safe, easy to use (once in the car, and you can leave it and not transfer much), and comfortable seat, this is a great choice for a easy on the pocket book price.

Great so far...........

After playing with the demo model at the store and reading other reviews, we ordered the Harbortown model. First: It's nearly black, which is perfect for us. 2nd, it's HUGE! We're talking 6" from my van ceiling when installed. For me, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make the baby mirror useless. On the other hand, I can easily see that the straps will adjust and the seat will accommodate the child to the specified poudage.
br /The easy adjusting straps have already come in handy as cold weather is coming in.
br /
br /I can see why someone who has a very tiny baby might not like this; my 5 month old is sitting almost straight up. She loves it, but is not as inclined to sleep in it as she was her "infant carrier". A tiny baby might find themselves falling forward a little if they don't have head control yet. Overall, though, GREAT!

Loved this carseat so much we bought a second one for our other car. Bought the first one back in April, bought the second one in September. Very easy to get our son in and out of. The only problem I had is putting it rear-facing in my SUV, it has wrap around bucket seats and the controls were not easy to use. Fortunately we only had it rear facing for a short time and now that it is forward-facing it is very easy to use. Love it and would buy it again!

This is my third car seat within a year and by far the best. It is very easy to install, easy to clean and very easy to strap the child in securely. After our child got sick in the expensive Eddie Bauer seat I tried to take it apart to clean-impossible and aggravating. I did research that night and chose this one. I love it. The shoulder straps do not twist and the easy to use tension knobs keep our child secure. I highly recommend this product. This is a great buy.

Good quality product and great value. Difficult for the driver to see around and difficult to get the little one in and out with this seat in a car with high back seats (like a Honda Element), but that would be a problem with any convertible car seat. We replaced the movable head rest with another - the included one is flat and doesn't offer much support.

Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat - Harbortown
br /We needed a car seat, after reading (on the tags of the first seat that our child was riding in) that although she was under 1 year of age, she was over the height limit. It seems very safe and our baby looks quite comfortable in it. We can keep her rear facing for as long as possible and the seat should last for quite a few years. It can be used up to 50 lbs and goes forward and backward facing. purchasing from Amazon, was easy and the price was still the least expensive, even after delivery.

This is a great car seat! It got excellent safety ratings (most important to my husband and me), is easy to install, and the safety harness adjusts very easily. It is much less expensive than other car seats with the same safety ratings, so a good deal for the money. Our daughter falls asleep in it all the time and for longer car trips, we simply adjust the incline of the chair (also easy to do), so it leans back a little more and is more comfortable for her to sleep. My only minor complaint is that it is large - no problem in our Ford Explorer, but a little tight in our Toyota Corolla. However, we decided we would not compromise safety and didn't have $600 dollars to spend on 2 cars seats for both cars, so this works great for us!

This is THE car seat you want!!

I ordered this seat to replace the britax marathon I got for my baby shower. My daughter is a large 5 month old so I was ready to transfer her to a rear facing convertible seat. I wanted it to be user friendly and last for a LONG time. This seat fits the bill! I love the way it adjusts with ease. I think that alone makes it much more safe. Your child is more likely to be properly fitted if you can adjust it properly every time the seat is used. It was also much easier to secure in the vehicle than the britax. There is a place to secure an unused tether strap and locking clip system to if you do not use them instead of just tucking them in somewhere. The seat also provides side impact protection that the marathon does not. The cover is easily removable which is great for keeping it clean. The strap between the legs also has adjustable positions to get a proper fit. I was unable to get the marathon to fit properly on my daughter's legs. Finally, I put my 5 1/2 year old in the seat (without having to unthread the straps so it took all of 20 seconds to adjust) and she fit great in the seat too! Overall so awesome I ordered a second for my husband's car!

Excellent carseat!

I recently bought two Evenflo Triumph carseats. One for my toddler and another for my baby. Both kids love their seats and, more importantly, I love them too! The straps adjust-both in height and length-easily to fit your child correctly. No more taking a carseat out of the car and reworking straps when your child needs the shoulder straps moved up.
br /
br /Also, I have always hated disassembling a carseat in order to clean the cover. This carseat cover comes off easily and is also easy to put back on.
br /
br /I would recommend this carseat to use with toddlers and babies! It has been a great purchase for our family!

Good, functional car seat

This car seat was easy to install and was much more padded and just seemed "safer" than other comparable car seats that we looked at. We bought it for our 5-month-old son and he took to it immediately.
br /
br /The biggest plus for us is the fact that the shoulder straps are easily adjusted up or down to fit the height of our son's shoulders, unlike other models that require the straps to be pulled out the back of the seat and installed in another slot. This model allows for easy sliding up and down of the straps, which makes it a breeze to make a perfect fit.

Great Seat, but big and heavy

My 6 month old fits nicely in the seat and seems to be very comfortable. occasionally his head will flop over, but not very often. 2 of my favorite features are the adjustable harness knobs so you dont have to take it completely apart when they grow and the strap that is between the legs is adjustable too for my baby that has really big thighs. The only drawbacks are the weight, which wouldnt be a big deal if you have a car seat for each vehicle, and it takes up a lot of room in the backseat so my other child has a difficult time getting his seat belt buckled when sitting next to this seat but we moved it to the side instead of in the middle and dont have to worry about that much anymore. Its worth the money and I would recommend it.

Great Seat!

I purchased two of these seats for my 9 month old. I had to use the LATCH system, couldn't install tight enough w/the belts rear facing. The seat is roomy, and comfy, and DS falls asleep easily in it. I haven't used the optional cup holder yet. Get a window cover for your door when you change over from the infant seat, the sun goes directly into their little face. Love this seat!

Nice seat at a great price

This car seat is a great seat at a great price. While it is a little on the bulky side, it is easily installed and very well designed. It seems well padded and comfortable and adjusts easily no matter what the baby is wearing at the time.

Safe car seat for the budget conscious, safety conscious parent. Rated one of the best and is an ease to put in and take out of the car with the LATCH system.

Easy to install, but very tall!

This car seat was recommended to me by two other moms. It has some great features, like the easy-to-adjust harness straps and easy installation. My only issue is how tall it is! It creates tremendous blind spots in your view out the back of your vehicle. I drive a Mazda 6 sport wagon, but in a larger vehicle like a minivan, it may not be an issue. I am hoping that when we turn it forward facing soon it will not be so obstructive of my view.

Good value

Found this carseat to be a good buy. Its easy to install (in the forward facing mode), and our son seems to find it comfortable! I guess the only slight downside to it is that it is very wide, so would be difficult to fit in smaller cars, especially with another car seat next to it. But otherwise its a great buy.

great carseat!!

this carseat has the most amazing adjusting system. You just pull the harness and move the harness to your desired height. It is that easy. It is large but the hieght lets the child see outside the window. I highly recommend this product.

Good car seat. First installation was a trick (spent 30 min). Baby (boy 12 month) loves the car seat. When he sees it he wants to be seated!! I did not expect that. Looks comfortable. Construction is solid. No complaints so far.

Works, fits, keeps the child safe.

It works.
br /
br /It fits, both the cars it is in as well as the baby/toddler that uses it.
br /
br /It keeps the child safe. We have had this for a while now, about a year now. It has never been tested in an accident, but it has never let the child loose in the car either. It has never shown signs of wear, it has never not done as expected.
br /
br /We have 2 of these and 2 Britax carseats for all the cars the child will likely be in (including grandparents cars). We find that there is really no difference between this and the Britax except for a few ease of use things.
br /
br /The only drawback I know of is that this seat is HUGE. It is a monster. You cannot sit in the back seat next to it comfortably if this is in the middle seat. Aside from that the only other complaint I have is that the belt tightener system cannot easily be done by my wife, mother or mother in law with one hand, as we can with the Britax.
br /
br /I have nothing else to say, it works, the child likes it, I appears to be made to last at least as long as we need it and unless tested in an accident I have no way to tell if it is somehow less desirable than our other seats.

Baby loves it!!!!!!

This seat is wonderful. I did lots of research and this seat is one of the best and is reasonably priced. My 1 yr old loves it. She can see out of the window and it is very comfy. Very happy with this purchase. I also received it super fast!

We chose this seat over the Britax due to price. I don't like putting expensive items on our registry, so this is a very reasonable item to request. We bought one and got another as a gift. We never own another convertible seat before, and this seat was very easy to install. The instruction manual (unfortunately) was not very easy to follow, but after flipping through different sections, we realized that it wasn't difficult to install the seat anyway. Both the shoulder strap height and the crouch belt can be adjusted easily, even with the baby in it. We installed the seat rear-facing, and we can access the strap knob easily. We installed it in our Ford Escape, which isn't a large car. Originally we put it on the passenger-side back seat, and it blocked my blind-spot view. I then moved it, without anyone's help, to the driver-side back seat. It is a rather large seat, so it may not fit a smaller car.

My mother in law bought this car seat for her car and tried to get us to take our Graco back. The seat has only been used for a year now. It was installed and the EPS foam broke way from the tabs. My mother in law called Evenflo and one of the people there stated it was okay if the foam had broken way and to still use it. I thought wait a minute this is not safe. My wife called then and they stated they would send the EPS foam out. Well, I changed it and the thing happen again. I hate this car seat, the cup holder is so flimsy it broke to. I am glad we have the Graco, and I will stay with Graco. Evenflo, makes a piece a junk car seat and compromises safety as well. Stay from this product, go with Graco!!

Horrible Choice

Car seat tethers are not long enough to hook up to car anchors. Company provides extenders if you pay for it. Won't fit a Mazda 5 or GMC Acadia.
