Evenflo Triumph Advance Review

The Evenflo Triumph Advance car seat is a great car seat overall.  I love that the straps are easily adjustable with just a turn of the handle on the side of the seat!  I live in a cold climate, so sometimes the straps need to be adjusted depending on the clothing (sweaters, snowsuits, big jackets), and having the easily adjustable straps are a great option.  It's great for infants that can already hold their heads up.  However, when the fall asleep, their heads tend to slump to the side, which looks very uncomfortable.  The seat is quite large and heavy which is great for the back seat of a car or SUV.  However, we also have on in the front seat of my husband's truck.  Because the car seat needs to be in the front seat (with the airbags disengaged), my husband cannot see his side mirrors while the seat is in the rear-facing position.  He finds it to be very dangerous.

It was not simple to install.  The instructions could use some improvement.  The LATCH straps are set up to be installed in the front-facing position, and I had to reverse them for rear-facing, which meant I had to take the whole seat cover off, which was not an easy task.

Overall, I would recommend it for cars or SUVs, but not for trucks while the child is rear-facing.
