I love my Evenflo Triumph Deluxe car seat that we purchased for my one year old daughter. We were ready to get her out of her infant carrier and we had probably 4 other parents recommend the Triumph to us. The safety ratings were great on this model and compared to most of the other car seats out at the time it actually had some padding so my daughter wouldn't be sitting on a big plastic or styrofoam seat. It has a great feature for tightening the straps. I don't have to worry about trying to pull the strap between her legs to try to get it as tight as can be as in most car seats. This seat has a great turn knob on the side that makes it super easy to make sure the straps are tight enough. Plus the knob is on both sides so it doesn't matter which side I put her in on, the knob is always right there and easy to get to. My only complaint about this knob is the release feature. It seems as if sometimes it gets stuck a bit and is difficult to press to release. I have figured out how to get around this and make it work, but it was a bit frustrating at first when I was trying to get her out and couldn't release the straps fast enough. The feature that put us over the edge to buy the seat was the ease of adjustment with the shoulder straps. With others you have to take the straps out and adjust the height, but with these you pull them up or push them down (it really is as easy as that) and you can do it right when they are in the seat. So when she has a coat on in the morning I adjust them up and when it is nice and doesn't need a coat in the afternoon, I adjust them down. It makes for a better fit with the straps and seems much safer to me. It also has a great recline feature that I can use if she is falling asleep to make her more comfortable. I would really recommend this to anyone that is looking for the next car seat for their 1+ child.
