I researched a bunch of different car seats and decided to go with this one because it was more of a mid-range one with all of the features that I was looking for. I had bought our first son an Alpha Omega Elite and it's OK, but I have been less than impressed with it at times. I have only had the car seat for a couple of weeks so far, but I am very satisfied with it and am glad that I didn't spend the extra $100 on a Britax and I will be purchasing one for my husband's car also (once my son can sit forward facing).

PROS:
1) The Infinite Slide Harness is really easy to use. No having to rethread!
2) The harness tightening system took me a few minutes to figure out but also is very convenient.
3) The chair fabric is really plush and soft, something that I was concerned about when I saw a different Evenflo car seat at Target that had kind of a rougher material.
4) My son seems to fall asleep every time I put him in the car seat, even when it's just a 5... Read more

I'll be honest, I was choosing between this & the Graco My Ride 65. I decided, aesthetically speaking, I liked the Graco more. I went to the store & bought it. We came home, installed it, tried to strap our rear facing child into it, and put it back in the box. We then went on Amazon.com & bought one of these Evenflo Triumph 65 DLX. The Graco has that tether you pull between the child's knees. Well, when your child is rear-facing, that's almost impossible to tighten because the seat is in the way. I received the Evenflo, and fell in love. I bought a second for my toddler to have one as well.

PROS
*It rates very well on Consumer Reports
*You don't have to remove the straps in order to change the height. Instead, the straps move with the child, so, I can
switch my infant & my toddler back & forth & never change a thing, just strap them in, and tighten the straps!

*The tightening mechanism is fool proof, seriously, anyone can do it, no... Read more

This is a GREAT car seat! We have owned and used this car seat for about two months now, and we absolutely love it. We upgraded to this car seat from the infant carrier we were using because our eight-month-old baby had gotten too big. This car seat gets excellent safety ratings. We like the infant cushion/insert that comes with the DLX; it makes our baby very comfortable and safe. While this car seat is significantly bigger than our old one, it also goes to 65 pounds. We love that it is both rear facing and forward facing and has the LATCH accessories for easy installation. It fits well in the back of our Toyota Camry (we didn't have to move the front seats). Our baby seems to really enjoy riding in it and has actually traveled much better since we started using this seat. We were worried that it would be really wide and take up a lot of space in the backseat of our car, but it isn't too huge. Adjusting the straps for growth is EXTREMELY easy to do and not at all cumbersome, like... Read more
