Product Description
The convertible car seat you've come to know and love has been improved! Now with ProTech energy absorbing foam, the Alpha Omega Elite from Safety 1st is a 3-in-1 car seat that will grow with your child from infant to toddler mode, and on to a belt-positioning booster. Since it takes your child from birth to 100lbs., it's the only car seat you will ever need to buy! The Alpha Omega Elite can be used rear-facing from birth or 5 lbs. until your baby is 12 months or 35 lbs. Turn it around and use it forward-facing with a harness when baby is between 22-40 lbs., and use it as as a belt-positioning booster seat from 40-100 lbs. Reinforced with ProTech Foam in the headrest, the Alpha Omega Elite will absorb energy and protect your child's head in the event of an impact. It also features a removable infant insert to support baby's head, neck, and torso. The seat is equipped with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) and it has a padded five-point harness and a two-piece chest clip to keep baby secure. The QuickFit harness system with its easy push button buckle makes it a snap for you to adjust the harness from your own seat in front. For superior safety, comfort and convenience, the Alpha Omega Elite is the smart parent's choice!

 Great seat! March 7, 2010
J. Fowler (Barksdale AFB, LA)
This is defenitely a great seat! My son loves it. He actaully dosn't mind getting in this seat, he hated his old infant seat.
Only problem we had with it, is that in rear facing position you need a something like this: [...]
but we got ours at Toys-R-Us.
Practical, effective and cost efficient. March 6, 2010
J. Wendt
After realizing the different needs a car seat would meet over the life of my child I wanted to find one seat so I wouldn't have to keep getting a new one for each milestone. This car seat is perfect. My son really enjoys it and the recline feature has come in so handy. It's a little difficult to remove the cover but it does come off and washes well.
 Wasn't worth the $80 I paid for it! March 3, 2010
Johannah Barwick
The main problems with this car seat are the straps that are all but impossible to loosen and tighten and the infant headrest that is impossible to remove. On top of that, it doesn't recline properly and my son was never comfortable in it. He would end up slumped forward (probably because this POS carseat doesn't recline correctly) every time. We ended up having to have an adult sit in back with him to put his head back when it would slump.
Luckily, we got into a minor accident and the carseat has been replaced. We now have an Evenflow Triumph Elite LX. I highly recommend Evenflo, the straps adjust very easily and it reclines properly. My son is comfortable in this seat and is leaned back properly.
 NOT REAR FACING February 26, 2010
Amy Goodner (Idaho)
This is not a good rear facing seat. It arrived yesterday and we couldn't feel comfortable with its fit for rear facing. A) it couldn't recline far enough to make the safety line parallel to the ground with out a 5 inch gap between carseat and actual car seat and B) even if it did recline that far safely, we'd have to move the front seats so far forward you can't fit. I read the reviews also seeing this caveat and ignored them and now I regret it. Consumer reports also agrees giving this seat a POOR rating on Rear-facing fit.
Other then that it seems like it would be a great car seat for forward facing. I liked all the features and I am just bummed that my sons needs to be rear-facing a little longer. Even though he's a year, he's a skinny one and not yet 20 lbs. So if you only need forward facing, then get his seat. If you need forward facing, I'm going to buy the Graco My Ride 65 which is recommended by consumer reports and has a very good rating for rear facing fit.
happy!! February 15, 2010
Silvia Duarte (san diego, ca)
I shopped around before settling on this car seat. comfortable not too bulky, easy to put in. very pleased
