|  | | 
The InfiniteSlide harness lets you easily adjust the harness. | Infinite Slide Harness Adjustment
The Harbortown meets or exceeds all U.S. safety standards, making it a smart, reliable choice. One of its key safety features is the InfiniteSlide harness system which allows you to change the harness height by simply sliding the red tabs up and down. This system also does not require re-threading, saving you time and decreasing the chance of improper positioning. Additionally, the 5-point harness easily tightens with a quick turn on the TensionRight knobs on each side of the seat. Proper Positioning for a Safe, Comfortable Ride
Proper positioning of your child in the car seat is extremely important, not only for his or her comfort, but also to ensure optimum safety and protection. That's why the Harbortown has a multi-position recline and removable body pillows to surround baby in soft support. Two buckle straps accommodate growing children by being easy to adjust, and the EPP foam liner helps absorb energy to maintain proper positioning in the case of sudden or jarring movement. There's even a removable, flip-down cup holder to hold your child's favorite drink in a convenient location that they can easily access. This holder also folds out of the way when not in use. The Harbortown also offers perks for parents, including a machine washable pad that's a snap to remove and clean. Easy to install and adjust, the Harbortown features a parent-friendly design that's durable, reliable and, most importantly, safe. About Evenflo

 Love this seat February 23, 2010
Jay's mom
Bought one for each car. Love this seat. DS is a big guy, and he fits comfortably in this seat. He is now 14 mos and we are going to turn him around and FF. Would recommend.
Very pleased February 12, 2010

Purchased this to use in our mini van for our two year old granddaughter. She likes it, it seems to work well and it appears to be safe. Happy with the product and the ease of ordering and quick delivery. Now she can "go for a ride in Grammy's car" and we do not have to borrow her mom's. Hope to get many years of use from it as we just had 2 more grandchildren since Christmas!
 Great Buy!! February 8, 2010

I bought this seat because I was looking for an inexpensive but safe seat. During my search I saw a mom putting her two children into this seat and had to ask her how she felt. She said she loved hers and her children did too and I completely agree. My 11 month old loves that the seat sits high enough that she can see out of the window. The seat looks well made and after having it for several months now I have not had any issues with it. The straps do get twisted easily but are not hard to adjust. This seat has an easy great recline to it and the straps also adjust with ease!! After having one for my car for only a month I purchased an identical seat for my husbands car because they were so affordable (amazon had the best price!!)) Very happy with my purchases!!

The Evenflo Triumph Advance in my opinion is one of the best convertible car seats available right now. The construction is top-notch (Britax is not the only game in town for picky parents anymore), it's easy to install correctly, and I love how easy it is to adjust every facet of the harness (you tighten the harness with knobs, the shoulder height adjusts by sliding the straps up or down, and the crotch strap easily shifts to one of two positions). My son seems just as comfortable in the Evenflo as he does in his other seat--a Britax Roundabout. The Evenflo is definitely more roomy, which I can see that he likes. I am especially pleased with the placement of the two crotch strap positions. They are perfectly placed--not too shallow and not too deep. We are, by the way, very happy with our two Roundabouts. We needed another set of convertibles because our daughter will outgrow her infant carrier--a 2006 Combi Connection--in a few months. So she will take the Roundabouts (rear-facing up to 35lbs) and our son will be in the Evenflos (we regularly drive two cars). We didn't purchase another set of Roundabouts because they only go up to 40lbs/40 inches and are, well, expensive.
If you are considering the Triumph Advance, you are probably also considering the Graco Nautilus and the Britax Marathon. I think those are great seats too. You just have to see what works for you. I skipped the Marathon because of price and skipped the Nautilus because it's made in China, cannot rear-face at all, is priced too high in my opinion, and lacks the awesome harness adjustability of the Triumph Advance (the 65lbs harness is awesome but the Nautilus only gives you two additional inches for height than the Triumph Advance--50 inches v. 52 inches (most kids outgrow seats by height not by weight)). Other seats you might consider: Safety 1st Complete Air (a great but pricey extended rear-facing seat); Graco My Ride 65 (a favorite of car seat aficionados and rear-faces to 40lbs); Sunshine Kids Radian 65 (recommended by a lot of car seat techs); Britax Frontier (hugely popular harness-to-booster seat (no rear-facing)); and The First Years True Fit (high ratings by NHTSA and very popular with parents).
Rear-facing is truly the safest position for your child. In the event of a high-impact collision from the front or rear, a rear-facing seat will stop your child's head from traveling and allow it to "ramp up" the seat back, minimizing the chance of what is called an internal decapitation (the spinal cord gets stretched to the point of separating from the skull). In contrast, in the forward-facing position the car seat back does not absorb nearly as much of the crash force, which leads to the child's head traveling further and at a higher velocity. This increases the risk of severe spinal cord damage for kids under 4 because their bones are not yet ossified. You Tube features several videos showing how crash forces effect kids differently in the forward-facing position. Because of its tall shell, you will probably actually be able to use the Triumph Advance rear-facing until your child hits the 35lb limit (unlike the Roundabout, which most children outgrow by height long before hitting the 35lb rear-facing limit).
Finally, car seats "expire." Most expire at the 5-6 year mark. The Triumph Advance in contrast expires at the 8 year mark. Car seats are largely plastic after all and years of hot summers and cold winters in an automobile will take a toll. And so will time spent in a warehouse. That's why the date of manufacture is one of the first things I check when I buy a car seat.

This car seat sits high my daughter loves it! she can see out the window. We received one as a shower gift and bought a 2nd one for our sitter. We started using it after my daughter turned one and didn't really fit into her bucket seat. It is so easy to adjust the straps and position it. I would purchase it again for sure. I ordered it and received it in one day later.
