Eddie Bauer Elite 3-in-1 Car Seat Review Summary

As babies grow, their car seat needs change and buying separate seats for each of those stages can become costly. Made to fit babies “beginning at birth up to 100 pounds” The Eddie Bauer Deluxe 3-in-1 deluxe convertible car seat is an infant seat, toddler seat and booster seat in one package. The value of the 3-in-1 seat “saves having to upgrade as [children] get bigger” making it “cheaper in the long run.” So what is so great about the Eddie Bauer Deluxe? Viewpoints reviewers rave about how the seat is “very durable and sturdy,” with “straps are easily adjusted.” Manufactured by Cosco, the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 is very similar to the Alpha Omega Elite, with Eddie Bauer style (available in several fashions) and “lots of cushion.” The 3-in-1 Car seat is not without it’s faults so, be prepared for some heft as it “is very heavy compared to other seats on the market,” and will “take up a lot of room,” especially in the rear-facing mode. Additionally, every so often “the straps get twisted” and “it is not the easiest to clean.“ Despite these concerns though, reviewers continuously agree that the Eddie Bauer Deluxe is a “great value for the money and is very safe to use.” There are only a few Car seats on the market that are as versatile as the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1. Make your comparison here to see which one is right for you.

I use this car seat for my 2nd daughter, I just wished i would have purchased this for my 1st daughter. After an expensive bad experience with a car seat for my 1st child we went on a hunt for a good car seat. — The price was reasonable because you truly will not have to purchase a booster… read full review »

This carseat is great as far as installing and uninstalling if you need to switch between vehicles or take it out for some other reason. The only downside is the two metal pieces that buckle into the bottom are almost like pieces of a puzzle and are sometimes difficult to piece together and insert… read full review »

I bought this carseat for my 1st child and I loved it.  It's comfortable, safe, looks nice, comes with cup holder, etc.  I really love and my 1st child is now 3 and it still in it and will be for a long time.  I love it so much that I went out and bought the same one for my 2nd child.  They are great carseats and I really have no complaints.  Maybe the are a little of a pain to take apart and wash but it's worth it to have a safe and durable carseat.  And yeah, the buckle can be a pain.  I have it down now but neither of my parents can ever figure out how to… read full review »

This seat is safe, easy to use, and can be moved from car to car easily! The seat is great for parents who only want to buy one seat for the duration of your child's car seat life. Both of my children (ages three and four) have this seat and they can easily get in themselves, yet cannot yet unstrap themselves when it is time to get out. The biggest drawback is the difficult process of getting the cover on and off in order to wash it. This a labor extensive and time consuming process which involves an occasional frustration. But, the cover is fairly easy to spot clean, so unless the cover… read full review »

Great quality product.  This product will grow with your child and is very safe & durable.  The harnassing system is what I like best about the Eddie Bauer car seat ...... it locks safely into place and is virtually child proof.... So you know they will not be unbuckling theirselves.....lol .... Every parents worst nightmare.  Good luck w/ whatever product you choose ... Just thought this one deserved a positive nod & two thumbs up .....… read full review »

Eddie Bauer car seats are great. We got one for our son four years ago and it has been great for us. When it was time to buy another one we knew the obvious choice the Alpha Omega. It provides my daughter with comfort and support for her tiny body. It provides me with peace of mind while I am driving so that I can focus on the road and not on a fussy baby that hates her car seat. A real must have! — … read full review »

I so love this car seat. I have a child with special needs and low muscle tone. This car seat was recommended to me by his dietian who has two herself. I love it, It reclines into different postions, which works really well when he is awake or falls asleep. It is easy to take apart and clean and put back together. The… read full review »

I bought this seat when my son was about to outgrow his infant seat  before he reached a year.  I like that the rear-facing weight limit is 35 pounds - the highest I've seen for any seat.  It'll last us through the booster seat phase.  It's comfortable for my son and easy to get him in and out of.  And it's easy to adjust as he grows.  I didn't have any problems taking the covers off to wash them, though I had to leave them up overnight to fully dry on the line.  It is a large seat and may be a bit tight in a smaller car when it's being used in the… read full review »

My husband and I recently purchased the Eddie Bauer Elite 3-in-1 Car seat for our 9 mos old. He's over 20 lbs and shouldn't be in the rear facing infant seat that fits onto our stroller. We have the Eddie Bauer Travel system (stroller with matching infant seat and seat base) and have really liked it. So we were leaning towards the same type/brand of seat if we could get it. Most of the reviews online were good except for a couple complaints: hard to install in the rear facing position, and the buckle between the child's legs is on a too short strap. Apparently this seat CAN be installed rear… read full review »

I was reviewing all the carseats when I came across this one. I did so much research that I was seeing it in my sleep. It's safe, reclines (which  my 3 year old son loves), grows with him...up too 100 pounds and very comfortable. I have added a small baby blanket to the padding underneath...so he's even more comfortable. My car was stollen about 6 months ago and my son's carseat was in the vehicle. The ladies at my work all chipped in and purchased me a carseat. I was devastated but fortunate enough for me, the lady who purchased my new carseat liked the review she saw at the store and… read full review »

We got this car seat in 2003 as a gift for our new little arrival. It was weird taking our new little one out of a car seat, because we had one of those carrier types when we brought our first child home in 1994. We quickly realized how much lighter it was to not have to carry the carrier around! Babies DO FIT into regular strollers too!!! We didn't have to have a special stroller/car seat combo thing. Which again is cheaper to buy a regular stroller than the combo. Our little one is now 4 and using the car seat as a booster. We have a boster in our work truck incase he goes to work… read full review »

This car seat was given to us as a gift in 2003, and it has been used everyday since then.  My favorite part is that the seat cover is removable for washing (which has been done!)  It is very durable and my daughter has really enjoyed using it.  She is now four years old and we are using it for my one year old son.  —  The straps are easily adjusted to fit the child's size.  I like having a button to push in order to be able adjust the length of the straps.  If my child is wearing a thick coat, I can adjust it easily to fit the thickness of the… read full review »

This is a wonderful car seat, my grandaughter is comfortable and very well protected.  I would recomend this car seat to my friend and family.  The best feature is the fact that you only need one seat, begining at birth up to 100 pounds.  The crotch strap is to short but adjusted the shoulder straps enough to compensate for this problem.  The instulation was a little problem with my vechile but the recomadition work. Roll a towel to put under it to level it to the proper angle.  I used a small travel pillow and a towel problem solved.  The armrest is great to… read full review »

This carseat was a savior for my family.  My son cried all the time in the car until we got this seat and used it when he was around 3 months old.  As soon as we started using this seat, his crying episodes were cut down by about 75%.  I believe it is because this seat kept him more upright than our previous one.  We love this carseat because it is easy to install and to move between vehicles, it is trendy looking and we will be able to use it for years to come.  We shopped around and it is a great value for the money and is very safe to use.  We are so happy… read full review »

this is a great seat for older kids. love that it can easiely be adjusted with ust one hand. safe and well made. not the easiest to clean. and kids do make messes. also can be kinda hard to change the seat into other cars. grey color matches and color inside the care.my son has been useing it for over a year now and it is easy for him to climb in and out of. sit up high so they can see a bit out the window without being so high that it is scary. love the tie down strap but it is hard to adjust when changing to a different car.the adjuster for height is easy to move but the seat must be out of… read full review »

We bought this car seat for my daughter and I like it a lot -- in fact we bought one for each car.  It's so easy to get her in and out of and the seat is easy to install and remove when necessary.  My only problem with this car seat is that the tightening mechanism (the tab you pull to tighten the belts to stap them in tightly) is difficult to use.  I feel like I have to use all my strength to just tighten it a little bit. We have to tug and tug just to get it tight enough so that we feel it is safe to drive. The release mechanism -- to loosen it -- works… read full review »
