Evenflo Triumph Advance Review

We purchased the Evenflo Triumph Advance as our 2nd convertable car seat since we'd recieved a Britax Roundabout as a shower gift.  The Triumph is a huge seat and at 23 months our daughter is far from reaching the rear-facing height or weight limits.  For that reason it has become our primary seat and the Roundabout has been cast off to the car she's rarely in.  That being said, because of the large base this seat will only fit in our SUV and not in our mid-size station wagon.  (Incidently, other larger Britax will fit in a smaller car because of their narrow base.)  The adjustable shoulder straps are great.  My biggest daily annoyance is that there is nothing to hold the straps open as you set your child in the seat.  Britax has velcro that does this - it's so simple, why doesn't everyone??  I attempted to install this seat with LATCH but there didn't seem to be enough length to get both sides hooked.  After much frustration I installed it with the seatbelt and that turned out to be much easier.  It's easy to remove the cover.  Just un-velcro at every point where straps go through.

If money were no object I would probably have bought a sleeker, cooler Britax, but this big seat has high safety ratings and a great price.
