Made to fit babies “beginning at birth up to 100 pounds” The Eddie Bauer Elite 3-in-1 Deluxe convertible car seat is an infant seat, toddler seat and booster seat in one package. The value of the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 Car 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 Elite?

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 seat once the...

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 into... 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 buckle them in which bothers... 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 gets...

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 ..... :-)

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!

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 best

Car seats are a very big deal to me because we go alot of places and travel to see our families in Ohio and Wisconsin. So it is important that my child has a carseat that provides more than one thing. Eddie Bauer..I fell in love with these carseats in the store. My child can recline if he needs to nap, there are arm rests and a cup holder so I dont have to worry about him throwing his cup on the seat or floor. It fit him the day we brought him home from the hospital to when he reaches 40 lbs so that I only needed to buy one carseat. My only problem with Eddie Bauer is how difficult it is to secure...

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 rear-facing position, but it's not so... 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 facing... 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 ended up...

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 with...

The Eddie Bauer Alpha Omega car seat has been the best seat for my son, Jacob, who is now two years old. We started him in the seat when he was just a few weeks old. The seat has gone from rear facing then to front facing now. It fits so well into my car, and I have a tiny little two door car, its very sturdy and does not move around like the other seat that we have in our truck! My son is now able to climb in and out of the seat and can even buckle himself in, and although he can buckle himself in he can not get out of the seat which is great because i really dont need him climbing in and out...

When my husband and I were looking for a safe, reliable, well known car seat brand for our 3 1/2 year old daughter we started out by looking at reviews.  I always knew that I wanted a very good car seat that was nice looking, would last a long time and would keep our daughter safe.  Because after all that is what every parent wants and expects in a good car seat.  We had previously purchased a cheaper car seat which within a couple of months had changed colors, faded, and was wearing down.  So I didn't want to spend to much money but I did want to get my moneys worth.  The Eddie Bauer convertible...

The Eddie Bauer car seat has served myfamily well.  We have using the seat since my child was a toddler.  The seat is durable and versatile and comes in colors that coordinate with the inside of my SUV.  The cushioned seat is durable and soft and it cleans up nicely.  The seat has the five point harness and rest comfortably on my child's arms and hips.  The harness is durable and cleans up nicely too.  The Eddie Bauer seat provides a cushion for the head and  neck and also sits back so the child is not sitting up directly but kind of lounged back into a comfortable position.  The...
