Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat
The design of the Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat makes it one of the easiest car seats to use. It is designed with a wide open body so getting a child in and out of the seat is a breeze; this is a real plus for parents with hyperactive kids. The Evenflo Triumph Advance LX convertible car seat is not only easy to use but is also very safe. An exclusive unique feature of this product is the design of its five point strap system and the Tension knob used to adjust tightness of straps. There are two straps across the chest, two lower straps and a final strap at the bottom of the seat to which all is eventually attached. The tension knob is located on the side of the seat, by twisting it the harness system can be tightened in one easy step. The knob makes a click sound every time the straps are adjusted to a different degree of tightness.
The Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat has a lot of padding and is covered with a synthetic fiber fur. The excess padding is a welcomed feature as it not only adds to the comfort but also to the safety of the product. This excess padding reduces the force felt by the child if the vehicle should, God forbid, be involved in a collision. Other features of the Evenflo Triumph Advance LX convertible car seat includes, a removable cup holder and 6 reclining positions. The various reclining positions are not only for comfort but safety. A newborn baby should be as close to a 450 angle as possible when travelling in an infant seat.
The Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat synthetic fiber covering and padding are both removable and machine washable.
The Triumph Advance LX convertible has two adjustable shoulder belts, which allows it to fit children from 19" to 50" in height. This simple means is that it could take up to five years before the average child outgrows this car seat, thus it is money well spent.
The Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat retails for anywhere from $120-$140 and can be found at stores like Target, baby’s R us, Amazon.com and many other retailers of children products.

Evenflo Big Kid AMP No Back Booster Car Seat
Booster seats are used to give the child enough elevation to allow the seat belt to go safely across that child’s hip and chest. For the average child, without this elevation the seat belt would go across the neck and soft abdomen, and it is quite obvious why this is dangerous. Evenflo, the makers of the Evenflo Big Kid AMP No Back Booster Car Seat, is a leading manufacturer in child products. This booster seat is designed for children 4 years or older weighting anywhere from 40 to 100 pounds. In most states, children are required to use a booster seat until they are at least 8 years old, so having one of these is not only a good idea but. depending on location, absolutely mandatory. It is important to know, though, that a parent should not switch to a booster seat unless the child displays the level of maturity needed to travel in one.
The Evenflo Big Kid AMP No Back Booster Car Seat is well padded, which makes it very comfortable. Comfort is very important, especially on long journeys. The armrests are also well padded. The comfort touch pad, which is what the child sits on, is removable and is machine washable. It may also be cleaned by simply wiping it with a piece of wet cloth.
An interesting fact to note is: “The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested 60 different makes and models of child car booster seats, and only 15 of the 60 seats -- seats usually used by 4- to 8-year-olds -- got top ratings. Evenflo Big Kid AMP No Back Booster Car Seat was one of the "Best Bet" booster seats by the institute”. It may also be of interest that the Evenflo Big Kid AMP No Back Booster Car Seat is FAA (Federal aviation administration) approved as such, it can be used on airplanes.

Evenflo Chase DLX Harness Booster Seat
When traveling to the grocery store or to a family vacation, everyone in the car should be seat belted into their seats. For children this is very important, as they can be thrown into the car’s windshield or even be ejected from the car if they are not properly secured in their car seat. In rare cases, the entire car seat can be ejected from the car, but if the child is properly secured, they should be safe from any major injury. When searching for the right car seat for your child, you should take into account their age weight and height. For bigger kids, a booster seat is what they will need, as opposed to a car seat which is more for infants. Any good parent knows this but making an informed decision about which car seat to trust their child’s safety and life to is often a hard decision to make. If your child is older, the Evenflo Chase DLX Harness Booster Seat would be a great choice to make when shopping for a car seat.
This car seat comes equipped with a 5 point harness that is made to keep the child secure in the car seat. This means that the legs are belted down with a strap that buckles into the bottom of the car seat. This buckle at the bottom of the seat may be built into the seat itself, or it could be attached to the seat with a small piece of strap. The shoulders are belted down by straps that go over them and are connects to the leg straps, which are buckled into the seat. These are four of the five harnesses. The fifth is the plastic piece that connects across the child’s chest after all four other straps are buckled down. This helps to keep the child firmly in place, should an accident occur. Though the child may sustain some bruising from the car seat’s straps and restraining piece, it is worth the bruise because it is much easier to heal a bruise than to live through a terrible accident.
Evenflo Chase DLX Harness Booster Seat has been purchased by many parents and they have either liked using it or saw its benefits of using it. Many have said that it is very comfortable for their child, especially on long trips. They have also noted that their child does not wake up from a nap in the car seat with a sore neck. The seat is noted for its sturdiness and ability to not be easily moved when stopping quickly or swerving. It has a cup holder, to help the “big kid” continue to feel more grown up. This also helps the child understand responsibility for their things because his parents are not regulating his drinking. He has to be careful not to drink too much, but if he does, he has to be able to tell his parents that he needs the potty. This seat also comes with a holder for activities, like coloring books or small puzzles. This is helpful when the parent needs something to keep the child busy for a while.

Evenflo Aura Select Travel System
When parents are traveling with their children, they often have strollers and car seats that strap into the strollers, especially if they have small children. There are several options for the car seat and stroller combination, ranging from the car seat that never leaves the car and the stroller that the children are transferred into to the car seat that snaps into the stroller and the child is never taken out of the car seat until the family is at their destination. The second option seems to be the safest, considering there are a lot of sad stories on the news about children getting ran over by cars while they are in parking lots or driveways. In order to avoid this tragedy, there is the Evenflo Aura Select Travel System, which includes a car seat and a stroller.
This traveling system only weighs fifty pound when the car seat is attached to the stroller. While this number may seem like a lot, consider the mother who has to carry her three year old son, who weighed 42 pounds at his last doctor visit, on her back and her 2 month old son, who weighed 13 pounds at his last doctor visit, in her arms, up a flight of 15 stairs every day, at least 5 times a day. Pulling a 50 pound stroller out of the car trunk should be an easy thing to do for this woman because she gets this type of workout every day. Obviously, this stroller comes with the matching car seat, in which an infant can easily sleep through any activity that has been planned. Not only is this stroller lightweight in comparison to other strollers, it had a one hand steering that is very handy when wrangling the children at the park or an amusement park. For the mother who has the messy child, which is practically every mother, there is a dispenser for wet wipes that will fit a normal size box of wet wipes. Add that to the one handed steering and no mess stands a chance. Lastly, the child’s tray on the stroller can be removed to make more room for the children. When the child is older and wants juice or snacks, this tray will prove useful to keep all of these items in one place in front of the child.
Customers who bought Evenflo Aura Select Travel System found it useful and helpful to have on a trip, especially one that included walking to various destinations, like Disneyland. Many parents liked the fact that the stroller’s legs were made from metal instead of plastic. That made them feel a bit more secure when trusting their child’s safety to the stroller. The car seat snapped easily into place and was just as easily removed when it needed to be out of the stroller. Many parents liked the fact that the car seat had long straps which made adjusting the harness easy, especially when the child began to grow. This allowed the child to stay in the traveling system a little longer, saving the parents some money. Evenflo Aura Select Travel System is definitely a car seat that is worth getting.

Evenflo Embrace Infant Base Car Seat
You are so excited that you have finally welcomed your new baby into the world. You are already making plans about what sports she will play, what instruments she will play in the school band, and how you will make certain she never dates anyone until she is 30. Even then, you are not convinced that you will allow her to date, but you whisper to her that you will talk about it when she is 30. While it is natural to feel very protective about your newborn baby, buying the car seat that will protect her as much as you do is something that you do not want to be thinking about while you are in the hospital counting all her fingers and toes. So, plan ahead now and purchase the car seat that will carry your precious baby home.
A car seat that ranks high with customers and experts is the Evenflo Embrace Infant Base Car Seat. This car seat comes with the seat itself and a base which the seat straps into when traveling. Because the car seat is strapped into the base, you can purchase another base instead of another car seat and have the base in all cars that you own. This way, the baby’s car seat can be strapped into any base. This eliminates the need to have to figure out how you are going to position the car seat into different cars. The bases also have positions which will ensure that the child is comfortable while riding in the car. The car seat has locking clips that adds extra protection to keep the child’s car seat on the base, in case of an accident. There is also a window indicator that will alert you when the car seat is not positioned correctly in the base. This will help you keep your baby in the safest position, in the event that you are hit by another car.
Parents who have purchased Evenflo Embrace Infant Base Car Seat have indicated that the position level is very easy to see and read. That makes adjusting the car seat into the base all the easier and helps eliminate a lot of worry on the parent’s part. These parents also state that when putting the car seat into the base, one side will lift up as the other side is put into the base. This helps keep the car seat in the same position that is needed to keep the baby safe. The reverse is also true when taking the car seat out of the base, which makes it easier on the parent’s back when getting the baby out of the car. Other parents who have bought Evenflo Embrace Infant Base Car Seat have said that it is very easy to put together and install as long as you follow the directions and read the owner’s manual. They have also indicated that their child is secure in this seat and do not fear that the child may be hurt in an accident because they know the car seat will not move out of the base.

Evenflo Big Kid DLX Belt Positioning Booster Seat
Everyone knows a child who says they are too big for a car seat, when in reality; they still need to be in one until they are bigger. This concept of being a big kid goes along with the transition from diapers to pull up training pants to “big kid” underwear. Many children think that because they have become potty trained and their parents keep praising them for that; they are big enough to sit in the car like mom and dad. That will not be the case until they are at least 80 pounds and four feet eight inches tall. So, if you have a “big kid” and you do not want to crush their perception of who they are, the Evenflo Big Kid DLX Belt Positioning Booster Seat will help them transition nicely from the baby car seat to no car seat with a few years of practice.
This car seat really is for big kids only. It is intended for children age three and older. The main reason for this is because it is a booster seat, not a car seat that incases the child in a portable seat. This booster car seat comes with a car seat, and a booster which can be used without the car seat as the child grows. It also comes equipped with a seating pad that is removable, in case of spills or accidents. That is especially helpful to the parents when potty training and a bathroom is not immediately available. Another nice feature of Evenflo Big Kid DLX Belt Positioning Booster Seat is that it has straps that are adjustable, so that when the child grows, that seat will still fit them. This seat would be perfect for any child ranging in weight from 30 pounds to 100 pounds as it can adjust to their weight and height as they grow.
Parents of older children have purchased this car seat and have been thankful that they have. Many have stated that this booster seat is designed with “big kids” in mind and it is designed so well that the child does not complain about any pain or discomfort when riding in the seat. The shoulder straps adjust to accommodate the growing child, while the head rest will not move, no matter how hard the child pushes or pulls on it, until a parent moves it. Therefore, the child cannot injure their head or neck when playing with the head rest. This head rest protects the child’s neck so well and can adjust to the growing child so well, that when the child falls asleep in the car seat, their neck is supported and does not result in a sore neck then the child wakes up. One parent also commented that she was involved in a horrible accident while her child was in the backseat of the car, strapped into this car seat. When she crawled out of the car, the child was perfectly fine, still sitting in the car seat and waiting for her to pull him out of the car. She was injured, but her child was not at all. After that accident, she bought another one of these car seats because she knew it had saved her child’s life.

Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat
As is evident from its name, the Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat is a child booster seat. This item is very comfortable and intelligently accessorized. The Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat is ideally designed for children 3-10 years old weighing anywhere from 30-100lbs and up to 57” in height. The seat has a height adjustment mechanism to easily secure children of various heights. The beauty of the Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat is that it is somewhat of a two in one product; when your child surpasses the 57” height limit, the backrest of the seat can easily be removed, turning into a regular booster seat. This is not only convenient but can also save you a bit of money in the long run ,since most children will eventually need some sort of booster seat until they are about 10 years old. In some states this is the law.
A feature that distinguishes the Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat from all other booster seats is the small lights found on both sides of the head rest. Your child with absolutely love this. This allows your child to have his/her personal space to do some reading or play with a toy when traveling at nights. These lights are bright enough for the child to see what he or she is doing, but not so bright that they distract the driver of the vehicle.
The Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat has a significant amount of padding, thus making it a very comfortable and safe seat. The backrest also has a removable pillow, making this booster seat even more comfy. The chair has two easily adjustable armrests, which are padded. As it is with all booster seats without a five-point harness system, a parent or guardian should ensure that your child is willing and capable of sitting correctly without wiggling out of the seat belt or slouching over. Such actions will only compromise the safety of the child. There is an adjustable cup holder on one side of the seat and a storage compartment on the other. This compartment can be used to store anything from a G.I. Joe to a Barbie doll. Some parents use it to store snacks; a smart thing to do especially when going on long journeys.
Though with the back present the Big Kid DLX Booster Seat offers some side impact protection, it is still a front-facing child seat. This is a disadvantage because with a front-facing child seat in a typical side impact, the child’s head is often thrown forward from the shell, meaning that any internal energy absorbing material may not help at all.
The Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat is available in two shades ,and the full wrap cloth of the chair can easily be removed and washed. Since we are on the subject of removable parts, since the backrest of this car seat is removabl,e it may also be used on airplanes if so require,d having been granted FAA approval.
The Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat is a comfortable and well accessorized child seat. It can be found at various stores that sell children products or online. The retail price for this item ranges from $61-$90, which is very reasonable for a booster seat of this quality.
