Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this car seat. I actually bought a 2nd for our 2nd car. When my son was first born, I did so much research on what car seats to buy. His baby carrier and convertible car seats were expensive. Then I needed another convertible car seat for the grandparents car, so I bought a convertible Evenflo car seat. We loved it and ended up trading car seats with the grandparents and giving them the expensive convertible seat. The Evenflo was much less bulky, easy to adjust, easy to put in and take out of the car, and easy to work seat belt. The more expensive convertible seat was very bulky and always had tangled seat belts. So when it was time to order a larger car seat, I started looking at Evenflo again. I love this seat. It is easy to put in and take out. The fabric cleans up well. It fits well in smaller cars. My son is tall for his age, but I will keep him in this car seat for as long as I can because I know he will be safe, and I like having him in a 5-point harness instead of just a car seat belt. I know the saying "you get what you pay for." This car seat is not the least expensive option out there, but it is far less than the $400 options. basically, manufacturers have to follow guidelines to make sure their products meet the safety regulations. Most car seats give similar levels of protection. I do not really think that the $400 car seat gives more protection than this one. It just has more name-recognition and maybe more expensive fabric. Neither of which really matter for the ultimate goal of safety.
