Evenflo Embrace Review Summary

Being one of the most inexpensive infant car seats available, the Evenflo Embrace has a “great price,” with “style that fits any car color.” As an infant car seat the Evenflo Embrace has a few features parents really enjoy over the competition. A unique feature to the Embrace is the ergonomic design of the handle which reviewers claim “makes it super easy to carry and it's not too heavy, even with baby weight.” Not only comfortable to carry, the Evenflo Embrace is comfortable for babies to snuggle up in, with lots of padding. Viewpoints reviewers comment the Evenflo Embrace is easy to use and clean, yet difficult to get a good installation for the base as well as noting quality concerns such as feeling like the “handle is going to break.”

Evenflo Embrace is a very nice car seat designed for smaller infants. It offers a separate base that is easy to install and a separate carrier that is easy to remove. The car seat easily snaps in place when going for a ride and easily releases itself from the base with the press of a button. The seat... review »

What I love about it:

 I love the colour and the price is hard to beat! I love the removable cover - easy to clean, and the instruction booklet has its own pocket in case you needed it for something. I like the Z-handle for easy carrying, and because it has a base that stays in the car, the seat itself...

The Evenflo Embrace car seat is a great deal! I got the Evenflo Aura travel system which came with the Embrace. It is very easy to use, which is great since I am constantly having to loosen straps to fit my growing baby. I love the handle to get it in and out of the base, there is no muscle work at all like other car seats I have seen in the past. I love the colors and the style overall. I would suggest this car seat to any new mom, or even mom that has had kids before. I am so pleased with the car seat and will continue to buy Evenflo for years to come. All the designs they have are unisex...

It looks nice, and was easy to assemble. I liked the Z handle because having to carry twins around, it made it easier to carry them both out to the car at the same time. I liked the base, since it stayed in the car, i didn't have to put one baby down on the ground while i buckled the other one in. BUT the canopy wouldn't stay up, and I'd have to hold it with my fingers while trying to still hold the car-seat with the same hand. One of the carseats cracked completely up the side on a really cold day, and when i tried to return it, i was told that i couldn't, that i would have to contact the manufacturer.... review »

We had this seat in Cudle Bear pink for my daughter and loved it so when we had our son we got him the Oxford grey. its super easy to take in and out of the car.3-Position adjustable base with easy-to-use adjuster ensures proper angle for baby, Track ball level indicator can be seen from either side for correct installation, Indicator window for quick base position reference, even though it was not high end or expensive I felt totally safe having my babies in it. Oxford also came with a little butt cushion which made my son fit perfect for the trip home for the hospital!

I use to use the cheaper brand of carseats with my first four children. That was until a friend of mine told me about Evenflo. She told me that was the best carseat she had ever used and it didnt fall apart as fast as the others do. So for the first time with my fifth child, i decided to give it a try. I absolutely fell in love with it. If i were to ever have another child again, Evenflo will be the only carseat i will use again. Its soft and my fifth baby seemed to have rode more comfortably in it. When he fell asleep in his carseat, i left him in it until he woke up, because if i took him out...

The Evenflo Embrace is a very high quality car seat, and you get a lot for your money.  I appreciated that the cost was reasonable, but I loved the features of the car seat even more.  The best thing about the Evenflo Embrace is the release mechanism.  On other brands of car seats, you must pull a lever that is rather hard to pull.  With the Evenflo Embrace, all you have to do is tap or push a lever to get it to release from the car seat base.  This makes life much easier on a busy mom of two kids under two!  I also picked this car seat because of it's ergonomic handle, but unfortunately,...

I love the EvenFlo Embrace Infant car seat. It is a infant car seat that was wonderful for all 3 of my children to use as well as my niece.  After 4 kids using it, it is still in great shape. Though there was a recall for the handle, that was promptly replace overall I think it was the best car seat I could have owned.  It has a base that stays in the car and the seat clicks out for easy transportation of a child (especially a sleeping one). With a nice padding for their bottoms and an insert for a head support it is an all in one for infant seats. Able to come out and click on a stroller made...

  The Evenflo Embrace rear facing carseat is part of the best Travel System I've ever used.  The entire system is the carseat as well as the Evenflo Aura stroller.  I am a mother of three children and having used a "travel system" with all three of my children I am more than comfortable recommending this one to other new mothers.  It is stylish, easy to use, very sturdy and safe, convenient, and best of all affordable.  This carseat comes with a base that stays latched in your vehicle so it allows for easy loading and unloading of the carseat with minimal effort for you and less disturbance...

This infant carseat has been used for the past four babies born in our family and if there are more it will be continued to be used!! Its a very safe and sturdy model. Very easy to use! We have never had a problem with it. There was no confusion on putting it in the car. And you can keep baby in it anytime. It also became very handy when trying to put babies asleep (on the rough nights). My babies also had very bad spit up problems. It was very helpful keeping the babies propped up to keep their formula down. We will not use any other car seat for infants. Definitely one of our top suggestions....

Hello all,
    This car seat was used by a friend whom was caught in a tornado. They were flung through the air and the truck was hit several times by trees while in mid air. The father whom was driving at that time trying to escape the mobile park which they were at, he had a few severe injuries. But the daughter which was with him, was unscratched. This car seat embraced her and did not let any injuries occur. What a horrible way for something to be tested, but it out lasted a horrible mid air flight. Also an awful crash to the ground. The tornado was catigorized as a F4. An entire city was...

This seat was perfect for my daughters!  I loved the adjustable crotch strap--my older daughter was premature and needed much padding (as demonstrated to us by the NICU nurses) to fit into the seat correctly.  This seat with its 2 position crotch strap, eliminated some padding needed with other seats to position her correctly.

I did find the base to be a bit funky, though.  With my second baby I found I had to be careful to check each time to see that the wedge used to adjust the angle of the base had not slipped.  For some reason, mine wanted to pop out from time to time.

i had no problem with this carseat i loves the z handle i loved the base that stayed in the car and the stroller was a great value to come with it (im 5'9'' and my fiance is 6'1") so it was great for our height, my son grew out of it by the time he was 5 months because he was so long but other then that i loves it the removable cover thats easy to wash, my only problem was the canopy it just wouldnt stay up and it would fall all the way down.

This is a great seat. Very happy with this product! After researching many carseats before my daughter was born, I settled on this great seat. My youngest daughter is very happy in this seat and she is a tough sell. I think everyoone should give this seat a try. Not only is the price reasonable , but also the style fits any car color. Great seat, again we are so happy with this.
