Another jewel in the crown of the Evenflo booster dynasty. The Chase DLX is another safe seat that combines comfort and safety. It has all of the relevant features required of a car seat. It includes an internal harness, seat belt positioner and Comfort Touch padded armrests.A key feature is the easy front harness adjustment. Parents can pull on the adjuster up front and the harness tightens to fit the child’s needs. It also features Comfort Touch padding all over the seat. A cup holder gives the child a chance to be indpendent and take care of personal space.Not especailly flashy the Evenflo Chase DLX Booster Car Seat gets the job done. It is not the shiniest jewel in Evenflo’s booster crown, but it has as much value as any of the others.

I purchased the Combi Ultra Savvy stroller and was happy with the purchase, so I decided to try their Tyro 8000 carseat. I am very pleased with my purchase.

So far I have been toting my daughter around in it every day for the last 8 months and it looks just like it did the day I took it out of the box. There is not one ounce of noticable wear on the seat itself or the fabric. I have had to take apart the carseat to wash the fabric due to some accidents, but in all the washings and reassemblings, it looks as good as new. It is easy to take apart and to put back together.

It was time once again for the car seat shuffle. Our once beloved Evenflo Triumph had met an early demise and had to be replaced immediately. Since our 4 1/2 old daughter was about to outgrow her Britax Marathon it only made sense to pass that down to The Little Guy and purchase Bugs a new Britax Regent

For quite a while I’d been interested in getting the Britax Husky seat for my 3 1/2 year old son. However, his current seat- the Graco Platinum CarGo 8489 Booster Seat, was suiting us just fine for now. Since he is under the 40 pound weight limit we were still able to use it with the 5 point harness system. However, knowing full well that he was nearing the weight limit for the 5 point harness, and that this seat is not recommended as a booster seat (it has closed loop guides which hinder seatbelt retraction), and that quite honestly my son is not ready for a booster seat [read my horror story here when we tried the Graco TurboBooster 8493]- I was looking at other options to keep him in a 5 point harness longer. Then, Bamm - I was forced to make a decision and replace our seat immediately. Reason? I was in an automobile accident and all seats must be replaced after an accident.

Based on my former location and availability/cost of carseats I decided to buy the Graco carseat for my first child. Good buy. When we had the second child I went back to all the car seat reviews all over again. Of course the Britax always comes out ahead but I have a Combi stroller that is great. I loved the extra cushioning. The wide base so that the little ones could fold up their legs. It comes with infant support. I think the Britax are too expensive for what they are so I went with this one, which is half the price.

It was very easy to install rear-facing, fully reclined. My child fit in well at 8lbs coming home from the hospital. When he got to be 20lbs I needed to move him forward facing so that I could easily move him in an out. It says all over this carseat that they need to be 20lbs and 1 year to go forward facing. Well he turned 1 year last week so now we are following the rules but I think all new carseats have changed to that anyway.

But then there came the time when I had to take the seat apart to throw the cushions in the wash and take out the bottom infant cushion. What a pain. The base does not detach like they say. You have to take the seat out, fully recline in, fit your hand behind the seat, take out a shield, rotate the belt clip and detach the belts to slip then out. Ok, so that was hard enough, wait till you have to get that all back in. Serious pain. You have to do all this with to adjust the strp positioning too! Also it is a good thing that I don’t have to do as much air travel as I did with the first one. I would not want to lug this heavy sucker around.

So it is a great carseat for durability and comfort but just hope that you don’t have to adjust the straps, clean it or transport it.

After what seemed to be an endless search for the “perfect” booster seat for my daughter, who turns 3 this Thursday, I think I finally found the best fit for our lifestyle—Graco“s Cherished Cargo Car Seat/Booster Seat. I read countless epinions on different booster seats and compared various models. I took at least 4 different tips to stores, even allowing the Princess herself to try out the seats and tell me which one she liked best.
