Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat – Harbortown
We bought this car seat and loved it for a number of years. We then checked it on an airplane and the styrofoam padding was shredded after our four hour flight. I would not recommend this car seat if you do any air travel.

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.

We needed another car seat and didn’t want to spend another $250-300 on a Britax Decathalon. A friend liked their Evenflo Triumph, so I thought why not. Big mistake!!! The LATCH system is very hard to install and uninstall. The 5 pt harness is confusing with extra straps and getting the LATCH system tight enough so that it can’t move is impossible. The seat always moves even just a little. The recline lever is a work out and yes I did take the kid out before trying to pull the recline lever. This car seat is just a piece of junk. Now I understand how someone can not have a car seat properly installed. I ended up buying a lower priced Britax (the Roundabout) and am very happy with it. I honestly don’t understand how people have given this car seat more than one star. They’ve never had a Britax that’s for sure.

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!!

I bought this car seat as a second seat for our toddler (we also have a Britax Boulevard). I bought it based on safety and reviews..
The Good:
*Overall, I’m happy it has the side impact testing which was big for me.
*I have the more cushiony model from BRU so it seems comfy.
The Okay:
*The strap tightening knob is really no biggie. Don’t understand why anyone would think it’s sooo much easier than any other seat’s (infant or toddler) (btw: we had graco infant seats).
*The automatic adjusting of the shoulder straps is nice in theory but a little awkward when putting your child in the seat since it needs to be lifted up. All the toddler seats’ straps I’ve seen are quite easy to adjust (unlike the infant seats that need to be re-routed); once again no biggie for a toddler seat.
The bad:
*I have not found a car that this fits in as snugly as my Britax does.. This seat always seems to slide a little though less than an inch. I definitely did not have this secured properly initially. After using a Britax I totally over-estimated how easy it would be to properly install this car seat. I should add that I always use LATCH. Even with the top tethered, it still moves a little. Perhaps this is normal but to me it is not.
* You will definitely need to change the recline based on each car or else it will slide over 3 inches no matter how tight you try to pull it.
*Shoulder staps get “magically” twisted despite the seat’s limited use.
The Problem:
*The rounded back allows for less contact than I would like with the automobile’s seat; therefore, I’ve discovered that incline is key and it will NOT be tight if you do not have the base all the way to the back of the seat.
*The ability to tighten the LATCH strap on only one side does not help.
My recommendation:
*Try it out both rear-facing AND forward before buying. It may lose a couple stars…
*Get a Britax if you can. But if you don’t experience a Britax, you probably won’t know what you’re missing.
*If you do have a Britax, you definitely will need to put in more effort with this seat than you are use to.
*Overally, we hear all the statistics about car seats being installed improperly. With this car seat, there is a high chance of incorrect installation because it must be just perfect to be secure.
*Call me a Britax Snob.
