Consumer Critiques

My husband and 12 month old had been in a fatal vehicle accident. My husband did not survive. There wasn't substantially left of the auto, just my child strapped into this car seat. The vehicle was hit head on and flipped at least once. Thanks to angels and this auto seat, I still have my baby.

I am giving this seat four stars due to the fact of security and value, even so I do have a variety of complaints, but two of those complaints apply to the auto seat business as a whole.
Initially off, you have to have to be careful about the way "they" rate automobile seats. Most are rated ~5-40lbs rear facing. Those are fantasy numbers. Your kid will require to be ~16-19 inches extended to use most convertible automobile seats, which suggests you youngster won't seriously be in a position to use the seat till they are 15-20lbs. Moreover, a number of if not most of them have a max "shoulder" height of ~16-18 inches and thus you can forget about employing that harness for a 65lbs kid the kid will be also tall. So this compliant applies to Evenflo and each other manufacture who is playing on the "larger is improved" mentality of the consumer.
Problem two, convertible auto seats come with an indicator to set the seat angle when rear facing. For some cause a lot of manufactures have chosen to make their seats set at the proper angle when on a flat retailer shelf, nevertheless car seats tilt back ~15-20 degrees and when you cinch the automobile seat down that adds a different ~five degrees of tilt. Again this is standard all through the industry and applies to Evenflo at this time. Why the industry hasn't figured this out and added an additional ~20 degrees of recline to their seats is beyond baffling. Plan on utilizing a "pool noodle" or rolled up towel to accomplish that extra ~20 degrees of recline and carrying out so it perfectly secure.
As for the seat itself, the LATCH program is terrific. You latch it in place, put your weight on the chair and the latches automatically take up the slack and lock. It really is rapid and quick. If you have LATCH in your automobile, you will get a nice tight, secure install with this seat. Ladies, you will be in a position to install this seat solo. This would be a hassle-free chair to move from auto to automobile if you strategy to do that.
Even so, the seat belt install for this seat is worthless. It sits so far forward/low that your buckle will contact the seat base and prevent you from obtaining a nice tight install. I found the seat was very prone to sideway movement when installed using the seatbelt. Ironically, the seatbelt install on the entry level Evenflo Tribute is far superior.
The "infinite" shoulder adjusting program is hit and miss. On the plus side, I think it's really safe since the shoulder height should automatically adjust to the proper height when you tighten the harness and even if does not fit, it is incredibly painless to LOWER into the fantastic position. But, if they are also low and your squirmy kid is in the seat they are a pain to RAISE. Also, if your child is fascinated by straps, then your kid will pull the straps down. I've identified the remedy is to raise the head rest and shoulder straps to their highest height and then start strapping your kid in and then lower the strap and headrest into spot. In the finish it's inconvenient, but my daughter's fascination with straps will subside. OTOH, it is Evenflo's top of the line chair and ever other manufacture appears to have a far better technique on their high end chairs. Nevertheless, I do feel it is a quite safe method and that is the most vital problem. If anybody at Evenflo reads these issues, you need to know we almost passed considering of the shoulder adjust program.
Lastly, we located the excellent was comparable to the Britax Marathon and Boulevard (which could be had for a comparable price at this time), but the Evenflo converts to a booster, which will save us a ~$150 in a few years.
