|  | | 
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

 rub neck March 19, 2010
Rebecca K. Chappell (NC)
This carseat has hard rubber tabs on straps that sit right on baby's neck. I put my 6 month old baby in this seat for about 2 minutes to position straps. In the short time I could see that the tabs would be very uncomfortable and would rub his little neck. I returned the seat the next day.
 AWESOME Convertible Carseat!! March 15, 2010
Catherine N. Bird (Fort Campbell, KY)
I bought this car seat for my 19 month old son. He fits perfectly in it. I put him in the rear facing position (it's MUCH safer) and instead of sitting up straight even with it reclined, it sits how it's supposed to!! I had him an a different convertible that goes up to 40lbs and had to put him FF because RF it sits up way too much!! His other carsear will go in my husbands car.
I LOVE the padding on this carseat! I love how my bigger baby fits in it! AND it rear faces to 35lbs!! I'm very very pleased with this carseat. Thinking about just buying this one when I have another baby instead of using an infant carrier.
 Good Car Seat for the TALL Infant in a Small Car March 12, 2010
W. Edwards (Spokane, WA)
Our daughter is tall - at only 8 months, she's 20 lbs. and 28 inches - tall enough to have outgrown her Graco Snugride (which was great). We wanted to buy the Graco Matrix, but laws in our state require that a baby be BOTH over 20 lbs. AND 12 months old before going forward facing. Trying to keep baby safe (see [...]), we went with this seat as it allows her to rear face. We read a lot of these reviews before buying the seat. A few notes:
PROS:
* This seat is really nice and solidly made on the whole.
* It's very easy to get the cover off. I like that it is not mesh (which can be harder to wipe poop or vomit out of in emergency clean-up operations) but a solid fabric and is all one piece and has minimal fussy pockets and such on it. That's a plus over the Matrix in my book.
* While the central chest clip seems a bit heftier and harder to snap open than a Graco clip, the knobs and switches to tighten and loosen the straps are genius. Wish they had that on the Graco Snugride! I like that better than the pull-tab strap on most other models (Gracos) as it keeps that strap out of the way.
*Room to grow into - our girl is tall, and this holds her well. She seems to prefer the more chair-like feel than the bassinet feel of the baby car seat.
*Soft fabric in a nice, neutral color. Our blends in with the car. It's mere aesthetics, but nice.
*The red tabs at the top of the straps give you a clean indication of where the shoulders should be. I did NOT find these bit into baby's neck. In fact, those tabs should be down behind baby's shoulders a little, not at either side of her neck. I read those reviews and can only figure they have baby down BELOW where the tabs go in, which means the straps are too tall for baby and should be lowered a notch. Not a problem if they're set up right.
*we like the overall construction - took the cover off and it looked pretty solid. sits well in the car, too, once we figured out the manual and got the thing strapped down to the LATCH system.
*Fits into a small car rear facing - HUGE! We are in a 2-door VW Rabbit. The fact that the seat actually can rear face behind the driver's seat is amazing - we've got long legs, too, and the whole of our tall family can fit in the car.
Cons?
*Rear-facing, our tall baby's feet are only 1 inch from the back seat. She will soon have her feet bumping up against that backseat. However, I understand it's safer to cross baby's legs that face her forward too early, so we'll just deal with it.
*Baby's head does loll forward when she sleeps in this seat. That may be because she's rear-facing. However, short of putting baby into partial recline, that's likely to happen in any car seat.
*Knobs/switches for adjusting straps don't work so well in the rear-facing position. There they are smooshed up against the back seat and it's hard to reach them. This is annoying, but would go away if forward facing. At least you cAN reach it, which on the type that use pull straps, you could not reach them at all rear facing.
*The Cup holder is a joke. So flimsy I'm taking it off. I liked the cup holder for the Matrix, but in practice I think a cup holder is probably just a place for dirt and goo to build up. I don't trust my infant with a beverage in the car anyhow.
* Squeaks. The underlying Styrofoam core of the car seat makes squeaky noises when you jostle the seat. It's a little annoying - my husband commented that seat sounded like a cheap beer cooler.
Summary: In a small 2-door car, carseats are tricky. It was nice (But heavy) to be able to pull the GracoSnugride in and out. Rear-facing, this is a decent seat and it fits, but baby is soon to have her feet running out of room, the knobs that adjust the straps are hard to reach, and it's a TOTAL pain to get baby in and out (you have to climb into the car to unhook the kid, then haul her out. But that's a 2-door problem). Forward-facing would get rid of a lot of those challenges.
In short, this is a good car seat over all, and the only choice we found would work for our small car and tall, rear-facing baby daughter. Price was decent.
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!
