No-Frills Does-Exactly-What-It-Should Car Seat

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016

Really basic car seat, but is perfect for what we needed. My daughter refuses to use the detachable head pillow, and the cup holder is too much fun to remove and play with to make it useful, but those are both non-important features to me. It is very easy to install and remove using the latch system and, my favorite feature, adjusting the tightness of the harness is incredibly easy, but inaccessible to little hands. I have a four year old and two year old, and have had to put them both in this at different times and it has been perfect. Easy to adjust to fit them snugly and securely, comfortable for them, and they love the design. It also is appropriate for a wide range of weights, and you could even put a newborn baby in this car seat safely (as long as you had it correctly adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions), so it has long-lived usefulness. Absolutely not a luxury car seat, but it was the perfect price and I feel that they are incredibly secure. Would buy it again!

Sturdy and affordable seat, but straps tangle easily

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015

I purchased this seat as a backup for my husbands car. I wanted something comfortable and safe, but I didn't want to spend a ton since my daughter only rides in his car a few times a year. This seat is okay. It seems sturdy and my husband was able to install it easily into his civic coupe. This seats works great as a backup, but I wouldn't want it as my main seat as the padding is pretty thin and does not seem very soft or comfortable. Also the straps constantly get tangled and my daughter gets super impatient while we try to untangle them with her in the seat. If you can remember to untangle after you get your child out or if you have a more patient child, then this may not be an issue for you. Overall, I would recommend this seat if you need a backup like us or if you are looking for a sturdy budget friendly carseat.

Pros:
Affordable
Sturdy
Installs easily and feels solid when done correctly
Cute pattern and colors

Cons:
Thin padding
Straps tangle easily

Perfect for traveling with, and cheaper than renting one through the car rental company

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

We bought this car seat for use in the rental car we will have in Europe. We decided that the light-weight seat would be easy to travel with, and at a fraction of the cost of renting one of questionable condition through the rental company. The seat is indeed VERY light, it was easy to set to my daughter's specifications. You do get what you pay for with the plastic parts though-- the buckle in particular does not compare in quality to our nicer daily car seat (which is a beast and wasn't even worth considering to lug around the airport), and is somewhat of a pain to open and close. Also, at a couple months shy of two, our daughter is in the highest setting for the shoulder straps so this would not be a great seat for a kid too much older. The construction of seat itself seems sound, the straps seem strong and secure, and the padding is better than in most of the other budget seats out there. With that said, I am VERY happy with the purchase for what we need it for and would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking of doing the same!

Great quality and value

This was a great car seat for us at great value. I chose it because of high safety rating in consumer reports, along with the low price. It doesn’t have much padding or neck support, but my daughter rarely complained, even on long rides. We used it rear-facing until age two, then forward facing until age four, when she reached the seat’s height limit.

We also used it for air travel. It really only fits forward facing on an airplane. I had to use a blanket behind the child’s back to cushion and offset the buckle of the airplane lap belt, because the belt path is directly behind the child’s back and only has a thin cover between. One annoying thing with carrying the seat for flying is the flap underneath that you gave to move to set for rear vs. forward facing, it flaps around and can’t be secured. When needing to carry it through the airport, I secured it in the front-facing position with packing tape. The seat is very similar to the cosco scenera next, other than this flap. Also, this seat has a bigger adjustment for the crotch buckle, so my daughter was much more comfortable in the Tribute when flying, since she was pushed forward by the blanket needed to cushion her back to protect her from the lap belt buckle in both seats.

The seat is almost entirely plastic, with some styrofoam. The cover is easy to remove and the whole thing is easy to clean in case of accidents. There is no padding to speak of, but that wasn’t an issue for us.

Great Car Seat, Great Price

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016

We purchased the Evenflo Tribute LX (with the red mums) in July 2015, now 6 months later and I can say that we love it! It is very easy to take in and out of our cars because of the latching system. We switch it from vehicle to vehicle at least twice a week. It does not budge at all once installed. The cars we use it in are a Ford Fusion, Taurus, and F-150.

As of now, we are still using it rear facing as she is not 24 months, yet. So I can only give my thumbs up for rear facing.

I am seriously still so surprised at the great price we got for such a great car seat!

Simple, does the trick

I got this as a back up seat for grandma’s car. She likes that it is smaller and easy to use. Not very fancy or high quality, but it is good for standard short distances. I wouldn’t want to use it for a long road trip bc it isn’t super comfortable, but my kid likes it well enough for the shorter usage. Also, I use it for my two year old, I’m not sure I would recommend it for kids much smaller than than 1.5, it is not very stabilizing for the head like some nicer seats are when younger kids are rear facing. Good for the price overall.

So far so good...great value

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

So far so good. The carseat doesn't feel as premium as some of our more expensive ones, but it's still very easy to get my daughter strapped in, and she seems perfectly comfortable. The seat was pretty easy to install, and it's big, but not quite as obnoxiously large as one of our other seats. The value was the big draw here, and I'm happy so far. It's clearly lower end without a metal frame or the other bells and whistles, but the fact that it still passes (and I think doubles) all of the federal safety standards makes me feel more comfortable that we're still keeping my daughter safe in the car.

Money well spent

I love this car seat. My daughter loves it. My husband says its super easy to install. We never used the cup holder and really I think is not needed. We did not like it for rear facing and found that she would fall asleep and end up hunched over and kept waking up. We travel quite a bit and this was a pain as a two hour nap makes a four hour drive much better. Once we switched to forward facing it was MUCH better and she loves it. The buckles are easy to adjust and clip her in and out of the seat. Well priced and comfortable for her. She has been on six and a half hour rides with very little fussiness which speaks well of the car seat!

Great sturdy and safe care seat.

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016

After spending 300 plus for our first car seat that was supposed to last until my child was a toddler but fell apart we decided to buy the Evenflo Tribute LX Convertible Car Seat - Pink Mums as the reviews were so great.

The carseat is well made, was easy to install, and is very secure in our vehicle. The front latching harness is very secure, easy to unlatch, and seems better made than my prior multi hundred dollar seat. The side and back padding is adequate. On long (over 1 hour) trips our toddler seems a little uncomfortable in the seat and this may be due to the scant lower seat padding or just because she is a toddler. Would buy again and I am done with the 300+ car seat brands.

Absolute must buy!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017

I was skeptical about this carseat because of the price. After receiving within 2 business days and installing this seat I must say that it has met and exceeded my expectations!! Very light so it is easy to take it it out if need be. My seven-month-old daughter absolutely loves it and she is very comfortable there isn't as much padding as a fancy-schmancy car seat but there is just the right amount of padding. I have a very old beater car to run back and forth with and installed it it doesn't lean side to side or hardly move at all so I am very pleased with this buy and will be buying one more in the future for our truck.

good light travel seat... more red than pink

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

bought for a travel car seat and its WAY lighter than our usual lugger of a seat. no bells or whistles...have to put a blanket under it because the angle adjuster only has 1 setting (the instructions recommend rolling up a blanket under it to adjust it?!)
Fits perfectly in a virgin America coach seat. Also fits in our umbrella stroller and is held tightly in place by a car seat luggage strap
We bought the pink mums for our little boy because it was the only one that could be delivered in time for our trip and it looked more red in the picture- it is in fact more red than pink... just fine for either gender (we also aren't scared of our boy having some pink in his life)
