As an in-home child care provider, I am asked on occasion if I have a car seat I can borrow out for various reasons (car in the shop and for got to grab it, someone different is picking up, etc.) or I have children overnight/weekends. This seat is amazing. Not only do I feel 100% secure in loaning it out and personally using it, but it is so valuable in the sense that I do not have to keep 3 different kinds of seats here for varying ages/heights/weights. This should be every parents purchase. One and Done! It is easy to install and to clean (both issues at that are at the top of my list). The design is great and I like how it's designed to keep it from pressing up on the front seats when rear facing. Easy to identify markers to ensure it's installed correctly at each stage. Could not be more pleased with this car seat.

Great product on all aspects- extremely easy to install, great safety features, my child says it easy very comfortable, and it is the only seat I'll need to buy for her as it grows with her. Very happy it can be used rear facing for such a high height and weight max. Good purchase!

We have a very opinionated 3 year old. She was previously in an evenflo Symphony but it was expiring. Bought a highly rated graco model and had to pass on to her brother because she HATED it. Took her to the store to try out a ton of different brands and models; she picked this one and now happily climbs into her seat. We love the safety features, and it's the easiest seat to install compared to graco, Britax, safety first. We love it!

My daughter was 10.5 lbs when she was born and was out of her 30 lb limit carrier seat by 5 months. She loves this seat and has plenty of room to grow. Easiest install I've ever done!!

this was a great choice in car seat easy to use and stress-free.

This product is so easy to install. I got it to car around my nephews. As an aunt, I was looking for something that is easy to install and would last for a few years. I have an old CRV and was worried that it might not fit but it totally fit and easy to install. With a 2 year old and 4 year old, I'm looking forward to cart them around for many years to come. The new DLX system is so easy to tighten and the instructions are clear.

Love the new car seat. My grandsons are able to sleep comfortably without their little heads bobbing around. Easy to install.

The carseat is very useful for my daycare children. Its nice to have a carseat that has tons of padding and is built nicely. It is extremely heavy on the other hand and is more bulky than some of the other carseats but is very comfortable. It makes it great for long rides. The kids tend to fight over the new seat because they all want to sit in it. It has lots of great features. The carseat is very user friendly and is easy to come apart to clean. Very pleased with this awesome carseat.

This seat really impressed me even when I first took it out of the box. It has plenty of coushion so I know my little guy is comfortable and it locks in place very tightly so I know he's safe. He enjoys the seat and loves the two cup holders! It is very easy to install and take out with pretty easy to follow directions. I would definitely recommend this seat!

This car seat is amazing. I wanted to find something for my one year old who is tall for his age to still be able to sit rear facing for a good while. His legs can stretch out freely now and he seems more content with car rides. He doesn't fuss with me to get in the car seat anymore. This is the second major product I've gotten from Evenflo and it's safe to say I've become a loyal customer.

I got this seat for my 4 year old and plan on using it for my 1 yr old once she is done with it. This seat is heavy in a good way, it is very well built. Now that my daughter is in a booster I hated how her other one seemed to slide around so much in the seat of our car when she moved around. I love that this booster installs securely into the car and that it has an extended weight and size range since my daughter is big for her age. It is also surprisingly compact and doesn't take up a ton of space in my SUV. She loves having a big girl seat and I love having her in a seat that feels safer and sturdier than a regular booster.

Love love love this car seat! I love that it reclines so baby's head doesnt fall forward. Good size and will definitely save money not having to buy a car seat for each stage.

My favorite car seat ! Enough room for my baby to be comfortable. Easy to install with live help if needed !

I love that this seat can be used at so many stages. I decided to use it for my toddler. My first impression is that the seat appears to be sturdy and constructed well. I like that the seat has two cup holders which are easily removed for cleaning. Installion had its pros and cons. The latches are easy to attack but tightening the seat down was more difficult. After my little one tested the seat out she told me she was comfortable. The only issues I noticed were the chest strap sticks a little when it is released and the T shape of the seat buckle seemed like it was jabbing into the thighs a little too much. It looks like it may be slightly uncomfortable. I guess the big debate for me would be the price. Being able to use the seat longer at all stages does give it a major advantage. For many families shelling out more cash all at once is difficult. I have in the past bought multiple seats for each stage simply because I could not spend more at that particular time. If I had had more to spend at the time though I think the everystage would have been worth it. Overall I am very pleased with the car seat!

This car seat was a lifesaver. I have a 15 month old who HATED the car for 15 months of his life. But ever since we switched to this car seat last week he has been a whole different person in the car. I think he likes being able to sit up a little more and have more room than his old car seat allowed. Not only does this car seat make my child (and me) happier in the car, it's super heavy duty, and it looks snazzy in my car. Plus, it is soooo easy to put in the car! Those easy click latches and ratchet latch makes life 10x easier. Coming from someone who thought all car seats were pretty much the same thing, I can now tell you that they are not! Because these car seats are the best

This is by far the best car seat my kids have ever used. It is already assembled in the box and extremely easy to install. I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old and it is easy for me to switch it back and forth between the kids because of the easy to use belt adjustments. My kids both tend to complain that other car seats are uncomfortable, but both love this one!

My son loves this car seat! He recently turned 5 years old and loves that it is much taller than his old car seat.It allows him to sit up higher and he can see out the car windows better. He also said that it was super comfortable to ride in. He loves the dual cup holders where he can put his drink in one & his toys in the other one. It was super easy to install and the buckles are easy to get clipped & unclipped. Overall, it is a great seat and we can't wait to use all the features on it as my son grows.

The instructions for this all in one car seat was very easy to understand. I also liked that the install was super easy. My babies were born 4 and 5 lbs respectively and I don't think I would have been comfortable using this car seat then because the padded doesn't seem to be enough, but now that they are bigger, they fit perfect and it will be used as an extra car seat in our vehicle.

The Evenflo EveryStage LX all in one car seat has exceeded my expectations! By far the best and safest car seat we have ever used. Its super easy to install. I love that I can keep my almost 2 year old rear facing longer with this car seat. It easily adjusts to fit newborn up to 120 lbs so you'll never have to buy another car seat.

Nice to know I won't need to buy another car in a year or two, this will last until he doesn't even need to use car seats anymore. Fabric is easy to clean. This fits in the car easily and is easy to install (although this is not my first car seat I've installed). This is a bulky one, so I wouldn't be moving this between other cars.

I really love this car seat. I am short and this car seat was easy for me to carry and install in my car. I love that the more my son grows up, this seat will stay with him. The material seems like it will be easy to clean off, which is wonderful. It's very easy to move the seat to each positions. Love how high the sides are at my child head. Makes me feel like if something was to happen, he would be safe. The cup holder is rubber and comes out of the shots, which is so nice. My son likes to have snacks in the car. He actually loves one cup holder for his cup and likes to put snacks in the other cup holder. The color is perfect for a girl or boy which is so nice. And its matches good with the interior of my car. The straps came out easy to adjust to my son, most of the time i would adjust them inside the house, but we were short on time. So we did them in the car, and i was standing outside of the car and it was very easy to pull the straps the way i needed them to work. My little more loves that he can climb into the car and get in his seat without help. Most car seats we have seen the sides were the cup holder is come in so high, he couldn't climb in by himself before. If you are looking a forever car seat this is definitely one to look at. It also works perfectly in my husbands truck as he has to sit closer to the back seat then i have to. Still leaves leg room for my little man.

I LOVE this seat! Our little one just turned 4, but we are not ready to graduate to a booster. We were reaching the upper limits of her previous seat, so this will help us to keep her in a harness for at least another year - this makes me very happy! She likes the new seat - it's design offers her more range of motion and she is able to see more side-to-side. Two cup holders is also a plus. For parents installing forward facing straight out of the box: there are instructions about adjusting the angle of the seat and moving the latch system to a different belt path. I got a little confused because mine came the correct way out of the box. I was worried that I was skipping steps because mine was already how it needed to be. I think those instructions are for parents that have used the seat rear-facing first. Also, there is a weight limit on the forward-facing LATCH. We were already above the weight limit so we installed with the seat belt. If you are using with an older child, like me, keep a special eye on that.

I've installed many car seats and this is far and away the easiest one yet. It's incredibly easy to make adjustments as well. Very modern look and my little girl loves it! Her twin brother loves it and he doesn't even sit in it. Goin to have to get another one now. Best part of all is it's good all the way through booster seats so you won't have to buy multiple seats. Definitely a must have!!!

My daughter loves this seat! She told me is so much more comfortable than her old one. The installation of it was so easy! The new little clasps on the bottom to anchor it really make a difference, trying to open the old style and make sure it was connected right was such a pain. This is basically point and click. The height adjustment is simple to do, our old seat never clicked in place right and the spacing was always off for my daughter. This one is a much better fit for her. It is taller than her old seat which I was nervous about when I unboxed it, but it's not as bad as I originally thought because it's not bulky and it fits nicely in my GMC Terrain along with another seat for my other daughter.

My 4 year old daughter has been using this with the harness forward facing. I really like that the height/weight limits mean that she still has a few more years that she can use it as a harnessed seat, and then we can transition into a high back booster. I installed it using the seatbelt and it was relatively easy. The LATCH attachments were easy to use and release with just the push of a button, but I didn't have the opportunity to use them for a proper install because my daughter is too big. One of my favorite features that makes a daily, noticeable difference is the harness. Our last seat was a continuous loop harness, so if it isn't pulled evenly you end up with one long and one short strap, but this one stays even, so my daughter can easily buckle herself in and I just need to check it. Overall, the it seems comfy, it's easy to use and long-lasting, all features that make it a great car seat!

This car seat works great! Super easy to install, easy to secure baby in as well! Very safe, love the ratings!

Best car seat by far! Love how it makes my daughter protect and there is so much room for her and super comfortable for her! Definitely will recommend! Also it is super easy to install and work

This car seat is very sturdy, but not extremely heavy like many other car seats built similarly to it. From box opening to installation, it took us about 15 minutes to get it situated because the manual was very clear and easy to understand. Adjusting the straps is very easy and the cup holders are a great size. We love that we are able to rear-face up to 50 lbs in this car seat The removal loop on the the base-attachment strap is a little difficult to pull when we were readjusting the car seat. My daughter is 35 inches tall and 29 pounds and she was very comfortable and happy rear-facing in this seat. I like the dark colors with the gray and white for contrast. Removing and replacing the seat cover wasn't frustrating or difficult by any means! The seat belt and harness clips don't require excessive effort to press and the padding in the seat was not too thick or overwhelming. This is a great car seat!

I installed this in my Jeep Liberty first, and decided to move it to my Honda Fit, both times rear facing for my 16 month old. I did have to research online two things I did not find in the manual: can the headrest of the seat touch the seat in front of it when rear facing, and can the base have any overhang of the vehicle seat. These things could be included in the manual for clarification. At first, in the Jeep, I didn't love the seat. It seemed too large and difficult to get a tight install. But I moved it into my Honda, and I LOVE it. Much easier to get the install tight enough and the recline perfect for him. Pros: 50 pound rear facing limit. Cushy without being bulky. Grows with the child, so you potentially don't have to buy as many seats. Fit surprisingly well in a small back seat on the most upright rear facing setting. The seat level indictor is extremely easy to read. The harness loosening is very smooth. Lower profile sides for getting him in and out easier. Cons: manual could be easier to read, I felt confused a few times when other manuals I have read did not make me feel that way. Is not super compact front to back if you need a lot of space in the front seats. I'm not sure how great this would fit with other car seats installed, I think it would be difficult to fit three across. All in all, it's a great seat in my main vehicle. My son notoriously hates being in the car seat and he really doesn't fuss as much being put into this one. I think the lower profile sides make a huge difference when you have a small car so you're not having to scrunch them as much putting them in.

This carseat feels like it was built like a tank! It feels very safe and well built and is pretty easy to install. Feels a little big for a tiny infant but once a child is closer to 30 pounds or when an infant seat is getting small or child is too heavy to lug around in an infant seat this car seat is perfect. Good for 10 years and countless positions to grow and adapt to your child how could you want anymore from a carseat?!

This car seat was perfect for my son who is big for a one year old (98 percentile for height). We were having such a hard time finding a car seat that allowed him enough leg room while still keeping him safe and comfortable. The different recline options gave us that , and the straps don't dig into the creases of his neck and we're easy to adjust. It's also super soft with extra cushion and easy to install! Would highly recommend !

I Usually use a different companies products, but I really loved this product! I have two kids and I used it for both of them. Worked perfectly for the two. Was easy to set up in my vehicle. No doubt my kids are safe! The double cupholders is a plus... Both my kids can use one and no arguments. Will be looking to try more by them.

This carseat has been a dream since DAY 1. The install is incredibly easy and I love the ratcheting straps. We stated our little girl out in this at just 6 months and she has already grown enough to need to adjust the top higher. She is so much happier in this than she was in the Nuna Pippa which is supposed to last for the first year but let's be honest, by 6 months she was annoyed. We have now gotten rid of the Nuna and bought another one of these for the second car. It is very stylish and not nearly as bulky as some of the other car seats we looked at. The design is sleek, the straps and clips are easy to use and seem comfortable for her. The only downside with the first one was that she pulled out the cups and almost immediately lost one. However when we just purchased our second one, they had already fixed that problem!

We just recieved and installed the DLX. Pretty simple and straight forward. I have nothing negative to say. Wondering how hard itll be to wash the seat covers but if its anything like installing were in for a breeze.

We love this car seat! The latches you lock the carseat in with are incredibly user friendly, the pull "string" beats fighting with the latches! My son loves the double cup holders. It's not too bulky, and has a very sleek look. The seat itself has great cushion and head support, I love that we can use this as my son grows and he will still be comfortable!

I absolutely love this car seat. My newborn is not a fan of car seats and cries every time I he is put into his current infant seat. The custom cradle fit gives me piece of mind after putting him in the car seat. He has better head support and is no longer sitting in a slouched position. He has been a lot happier in this car seat during car rides. This car seat is also padded very well. I hate when i have to purchase extra padding or use blankets to pad car seats. The car seat checked all my safety feature boxes. Having a car seat that will grow with my son is a plus. I don't have to worry about purchasing a new car seat at every milestone. We will be purchaing another Evenflo everystage LX for our second vehicle. I am not a fan of the removable cup holders because they come out to easily. My three year old is able to take them out with easy. I love the idea of having removable cup holders but they are to easy to remove.

Where is the owners manual? It is not listed on the evenflo web site. Every stage DLX

We totally love our EveryStage carseat. When we opened it, we did not realize that this chair was so versatile: It can be used for babies/toddlers/ youngsters between 4 and 120 pounds! We purchased this seat for our 6 year old (46 pounds, 44 inches) son, who used it a majority of the time in the front facing position. Our 13 month old used it on a few occasions as well, and we're looking forward to having her get as much use out of it as possible too!. Our son had a small, backless booster seat with no vertical seat. It would occasionally move on turns, and it put his feet in the middle of the seat in front of him; which in turn led to kicking.  Our guy was not thrilled to "go back to" what he viewed as a seat for "little kids", but a majority of the complaints went away when we made the swap, got him in (used as a Booster) and started driving. We call it his captain's chair. The features are good: He likes having his own cup holder, and I like that it wipes clean very easily. There's an adjustable headrest, so when he falls asleep on longer car trips, his read doesn't just lag to one side. We also like that the seatbelt goes through a belt guide that is on the seat, so the seatbelt isn't high on his shoulder. The fabric is soft and breathable( see point below). BEST of all? His legs are now in a better position, so he doesn't kick that often anymore! He definitely likes the new chair and we do too. Baby Seat: (1) weight: This isn't one of those seats that you'll take with you out of the car, but its honestly a good thing. It's studier than the "classic" infant and baby carriers and feels like it would hold up to.. more. Though, (thankfully) we've never had to learn how much.   2)Temperature: Our daughter always seems to get warm on car rides, and tends to get cranky as a result. Usually we'll take her out of the car seat, and there's wetness on the carseat and her clothes from her sweat. On the two occasions we used this seat for our 13 month old, we actually had the heat on in the car and there was no sweat or wetness on the seat when we got to our destination! The fabric seems more breathable.

Great car seat! Very well made and super soft material! I love how easily you can tighten and loosen the straps! My son seems super comfortable in it! I love the fact that it's rear facing for up to 50lbs and proudly made in the USA!

Our son is very comfortable in this seat so far and he enjoys car rides more than before. It is easy to use and great value for the price.

this is a very comfortable car seat. has lots of padding and is very nice. the only thing i do not like about it is the install isnt as easy as some of its competitors..

The EveryStage All-in-One car seat arrived quickly and looked good on first impression. I like the modern gray and black color scheme, and it has an overall nice design. I was a little surprised that it wasn't wrapped in plastic or padded in the box in anyway. Our package was pretty beat up by the time it arrived, but the car seat did fair fine. My husband was able to install the car seat quickly and easily into my car using the car seat's ratcheting system. He really liked how easy it was to secure the seat without having to pull and tug on any extra straps! The different recline positions of the seat are great too, and its easy to be able to see that the seat is level and in the correct placement. I do like the padding and cushion in the seat, and it has a pretty nice feel in my opinion. We didn't need the included neck support pillow/cushion as my baby is 11 months old now, but it would have been great during her newborn days. The harness can be loosened or tightened quickly and easily with the release button and strap at the bottom of the seat, which is great when your baby is ready to get moving or out! I also really like that the buckle is smaller than some convertible type seats, so it doesn't dig into my baby's crotch area and legs! The included cup holders seem like they'll be handy, but so far I've only put little toys and my daughter's pacifier in them. We're not ready for snacks in the car yet, haha. I definitely appreciate the included neck strap covers, but they could be a little longer. The chest clip can be easily adjusted up and down, but it's sometimes a tad difficult to latch/unlatch. My daughter is safe and seems comfortable in the seat overall, while still being able to stretch out and wiggle her little legs around. We're hoping the EveryStage car seat continues to work well for us as she grows! :)

I LOVE this car seat!! I was trying to find a car seat that would work rear-facing with my captains chairs (middle row of my SUV) with no luck, until I found this one! Others threw my son forward, even with the furthest recline. THIS CAR SEAT IS PERFECT for my chairs!! It reclines far enough that my son can sit comfortably and safely. I also gained an inch or 2 in the front seat (I was able to scoot the seat further back) due to the way this seat reclines. WOW! I also love the 5 point harness. It snaps easily, and the bottom can be done quickly, which is perfect for my squirmer. The ratchet system to secure the seat is also AMAZING!!

I love this car seat & how it has the three stages all in one! Makes it so convenient and it is easy to use. My 3 month old seems to like it better than another car seat we had because it feels roomier and more comfortable. Feels durable and looks very nice. The only thing is, is that I wish It was easy to carry around with him in it

I have 3 children so we have owned several cars and have gone through several car seats, this is definitely one of the best ones without a doubt. A great investment, it is right in our price point but will have several years of use, and compared to other brands this is family budget friendly. First of all installation was a breeze! EASY CLICK!! literally just click and move to adjust, no more pinching my fingers, the same goes to move it out just pull and that's it!!! it took me seconds to do it!!! this is a big deal because we own 2 vehicles but rarely ride on the second one, so this seat definitely helped us avoid buying an unnecessary spare seat. I also used the lap shoulder seat belt for installation and it was easy to do as well, hassle free. I was a little bit hesitant with the size of the car seat at first because with my other son we used the symphony DLX and it was a big hassle to make it fit in my vehicles, with this one surprisingly it was not the case, I am still able to fit 3 car seats in the back of my Edge. The fabric is really soft and washable it is super comfy, a lot of cushion, and the best thing is that it keeps my baby in a good temperature, he does not get super hot during hot months. The cup holders are really helpful, I have my 9 month old in the middle with a 5 year old and a 9 year old on the sides, and their car seats have no cup holders due to space so now they are happy that their baby brother can share with them lol. Another great thing is how far it reclines, allowing my baby to ride comfortably, when he falls asleep his head does not tilt anymore and he has enough room in the chair to snuggle a blanket around him after we buckle him up. The only things that I have had a problem with are the strap that adjusts the seat-belt, when I try to pull it to adjust them snugly I have a hard time doing it, since it is rear facing if I want to pull it up it doesn't work so in order to pull it down I have to move the seat a little so it is a hassle. The shoulder cushions were too much and had to remove them, other than that it is a great fit for my family and it will last 10 years!! no need to buy more car seats which is a big deal.

We just installed the EveryStage All-in-One car seat a couple of weeks ago, as our daughter is turning one next week. She's not a big kid (middle of the road in terms of the growth charts), but I could tell the infant car seat was getting a bit tight. She loves this seat! It's well-cushioned and comfortable, and big enough for her to stretch her legs and not look (or feel, I assume) cramped! Besides her comfort, there are many features that I love, including: *Good side-protection. Even though we put this in the middle position in the car, I appreciate the side protection on this seat. *Easy to adjust and install. It took very little time and effort to install, and doesn't slide around at all. Note that we did the seatbelt installation, not the LATCH, because that's not available in the middle seat of our car. *Doesn't take up a huge amount of space, width-wise. The car seat is in a Subaru Forester, and leaves plenty of room for passengers on either side. *Cup holders. Small but important feature that my daughter likes for bottles and snacks.

It was hard for us to switch from the click and go car seat. But the EveryStage provided us peace of mind. She looks so safe and secure when in this seat that it's hard to wake her up when it's time to get out. Last lament for the click and go. Like many of the reviews we instantly noticed the ease of installation. From the extra-long buckles that reach the hidden seat bars with ease, to the ratchet tight, the seat was simple and seamless. I've installed countless car seats and this was extremely easy. This is a priceless feature for us, as we are a generational house hold and sometimes have to move the seat between vehicles. The reclining feature is also simple and easy to adjust Like many people have mentioned, I feel as if we have already lost the cup holders. For such an age range of use, just storing the cup holders seems like an additional project I wasn't looking for. Additionally, they fell out with me brushing up against them. I anticipate that if I ever fish them out from storage that they too will become a constant game of lost and found. The edge of the seat that makes us feel as if our baby is safe and secure is also sometimes a challenge. With the seat in a reclining position the edge of the seat feels tall, and we have an SUV with high head clearance. We have to be cautious of not hitting our child's head on the roof of the car when placing her in the bucket seat. Also, there is a V gap in the bucket seat wall and sometimes her legs have gotten caught while we are placing her into her seat. All in all, we feel like she is super safe and comfortable.

Pro's: 1: Very sturdy feel 2: Easy to install 3: Quiet! Does not wake up the baby when he is removed from the car seat to his stroller! We are so glad about that one :) 4: Ratchet system gets a very tight latch! 5: Seems roomy and supportive for our baby Cons: 1: Fabric strap cushions needed replaced (too small in length) Our family used this car seat for a 13 hour road trip with an almost 4 month old! At this point, he is 26.5 inches long and nearly 17 pounds and quickly outgrowing his infant car seat. We used the UPPA baby Mesa for the same 13 hour road trip and he seemed to cry more and feel cramped. After using this car seat, the baby fell asleep! Roughly 1-2 hours per nap. When awake, he and was able to move around more it seemed. Whenever I have to remove this sleeping baby from the car seat to a stroller, the straps around his chest and legs remove quietly and quickly so that he does not stir himself awake. We love that he will be able to use this car seat for a long time and that it will adjust to his needs! We did replace the shoulder strap covers (too short for him), but after that easy fix, it's a blessing to our family! We would recommend this to others!
