I have a rather large 7 month old son, me and my girlfriend looked everywhere for a good, wide car seat. We found this seat but it was sold out in every store we went to. Luckily Amazon had it and was cheaper than most stores. The car seat itself is very bolstered and comfortable with a great deal of padding in all the right places. Our 2 year old daughter loves the car seat as well and often tries to sit in it before our son can. Highly recommended car seat from a highly recommended site.
Great seat

I love this car seat. I bought it for my 5 month old son. I was a little worried about taking him out of his infant carrier, but he is so big I had no choice. The seat was a great transition and he loves it. I feel extremely comfortable with him in there. The car seat was easy to assemble and is very durable. It doesn't take up as much space as I thought and that's a good thing. This car seat is a great and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The seat seems very comfy and convenient. It shows two storage holders on either side of the seat. Only comes with one attachment, but two choices of holders. The leg straps come across the middle of my 10 month olds thigh, as opposed to from behind his rear, which seems very uncomfortable. I would have returned it, but he spit up in it before I was done with the first test run. Oops!
well worth the $

I bought this car seat to replace the covertable car seat I already had because my 4th baby would scream whenever he rode in it. Now with the Titan car seat he sits happily or falls asleep! Wonderful! The straps for forward facing are not enough for a pudgy baby so I had to put them on the setting for front facing so he would fit in it without squishing him, but that was my ONLY frustration with it...other than that it has been a blessing for our traveling needs!

This seat isn't very easy to install. It took my fiance almost an hour figure out how to install it. My son was extremely uncomfortable in it and I figured he would like it better once he was able to sit up on his own. Nope, still hates it. The straps are just too tight on him no matter how I adjust them. We're looking for a new car seat right now.
Good value!

I had tried several other seats before purchasing this one. It is a comfortable and easy to use option for sure. The only thing i wish was different was the length of the belt they give you for reverse position, but that seems to be the case with everyone we have purchased.

I have had this car seat for over 1 year and it has served our family well with two different cars. We have one car with the Latch system and the other uses just seat belts for securing the seat. Although I prefer the ease of the Latch system, this seat is also easily installed with a seat belt. The padding is well cushioned in most places. When items are spilled on it, the lining is easily removed to wash and easily re-installed too. I can't say that for our other car seat. Only complaints (small as they may be), adjusting the straps around my daughter are sometimes difficult and get mis-adjusted after multiple times using. The only way to fix is to uninstall the whole seat, readjust the straps in the back of the seat, then reinstall (big pain). Fortunately, I haven't had to do this much. I would recommend this seat to anyone because all things considered it is a great value for the money.

We bought this carseat for our out-of town-parents' car. It is a nice and roomy carseat, not too tall (fit well in their PT Cruiser in the middle seat with an adult on either side), comfy fabric. The only thing we weren't crazy about were the lower straps. We were used to straps that went around his waist and these went around his thighs. He has chubby thighs and it still fit fine and did not seem to bother him, but I preferred the ones that go around the waist. The other thing we weren't crazy about was adjusting the straps while in the rearfacing position, but I think that's the case with most rear facing seats. Overall, we would recommend it. Good quality for the price, nice size, and our 8 month old baby seemed comfortable.
Great Car Seat!

I recently purchased this car seat after having previous positive experience with Evenflo products. This time was no different from the others - the product is great and with very high quality. My kid loves it!
br /I own an evenflo Comfort Deluxe car seat as well, but the Titan Elite is much lighter, narrower (important when you try to fit 2 car seats in the back seat), easy to adjust and cheaper.
br /All is all it is a great choice!

This carseat was easy to install and my baby (who used it at age 1) is comfy cozy the whole time. I recommend this seat.
Good, economical carseat

(I bought this in the Nutmeg color)
br /In my country the law does not require car seats so I did not have a variety to choose from. We got this one a few weeks ago for our 11mth old son and so far so good. I had the time of my life trying to install this thing in my car - I gave up on the first night. I was ready to return it to the store but decided to give it another go. Pull, Tug, Twist, Turn - I swear I lost all the weight I gained during pregnancy trying to get this thing installed. Eventually I got it in a comfortable and safe rear facing position. My vehicle is not LATCH equiped so I did not have to go through the stress of attaching another belt.
br /
br /Once you understand how to adjust the straps (practice with a stuff toy in my case my daughter's cabbage patch 8)) it is easy to secure your baby. I removed the head rest and put the pillow from our Kiddopotamus snuzzler - I know you are not supposed to use products that are not apart of the seat but the included pillow would have given my son a stiff neck.
br /
br /The padding on this seat is comfy - my son took his first long nap in it a few days after we got it and his head was not all over and we have some bumpy roads to deal with here.
br /
br /My wedding ring has a few raised areas and it has caught a few times on the brown cloth, so all over the seat there are little pulls in the material - it is quite annoying. I have to turn my ring around before I put my son the seat.
br /
br /I would recommend this car seat if you are on a budget - the Britax are way too expensive here - over two thousand trinidadian dollars, this was just over seven hundred ( about $120US dollars) at a local bulk food store .

I've tried (2) different Titan Elite seats in (2) different cars. None will tighten down! I weight 230 lbs and am strong so that can't be a reason. What a poorly made and dangerous product this is. This seat should be taken off the market. I've had no problems with a Graco seat I bought at less money.

My wife looked at this very car seat in the store. It was priced $15 cheaper on Amazon so we went for it. Within an hour of receiving it we were on line to return it for the following reasons:
br /
br /1) Even though it was not in factory packaging(we didn't mind that) it wasn't even in a plastic bag. Just a car seat in a box. (If I'm putting my kid in it, I would prefer to KNOW it is clean)
br /2) The main piece (cushion) were the child's rearend goes was missing.
br /3) There was a "cut in the fabric about 3/4" long on the front of the seat.
br /4) The owners manual on the seat did NOT match the seat.
br /5) The seat my wife looked at in the store had "memory foam". This one had none of the sort. In fact, not comfortable feeling at all.
br /
br /Any one of these things by itself would not have been bad; however, all of them together made me prefer to spend more money in a store locally.

Couldn't get it to tighten down

This seemed like a nice product, so we purchased it. Upon installation, I couldn't get the seat to tighten down in either of our vehicles. First off, in our 2000 Jeep Cherokee, I put the seat belt through the seat. The instructions say to push down while pulling the seat belt tight. I go 175# and I sat on the seat while pulling, and it didn't matter. The seat still had quite a bit of side to side motion.
br /
br /The same thing happened in our 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This, again was while trying to use the middle seat belt. However, on the Grand Cherokee, the truck does have the LATCH system.....but only on the two outboard seats. A police office told us that we are best to use the middle seatbelt instead as this is the safest position for a single child in the event of the side impact.
br /
br /Needless to say, this car seat is going back.
