Basic Features

One of the more basic features of this product is that you will be able to use it for quite a long time. The seat offers support for children between five and 65 pounds, which means that you won’t have to worry about getting another seat for a long time. It also has the Infinite Slide harness system, which will allow you to adjust the harness a lot easier as your child grows and needs to have it tightened or loosened. There is energy-absorbing foam that not only provides comfort but will also protect against impact.

A lot of parents commended the cushioning for how durable it is and for the fact that you can put it in the washing machine if your child has an accident or spills something. There are cup holders that allow your child to store their drink, as well as belt pockets to prevent them from burning their hands on the hot metal of the seat belt. In addition, this has been approved to be used on airplanes.

Size

This is a pretty large car seat, mostly due to the fact that it can be used for infants and children. For one, you will be able to put a child that is between 5 and 40 pounds in the rear-facing position. They also will need to be between 19 and 37 inches tall, and their head needs to be about an inch or so below where the top of the car seat is. If you wish to put your child in the forward-facing position, it is recommended that you wait to do so until they are at least 2 years old (1 year old at the least), and from when they are between 22 and 65 pounds. They also will need to be between 28 and 50 inches tall. This means that you will be able to use this product for a long time and won’t have to worry about purchasing a new one when your child gets too big.

As far as the size of the actual seat, it is 23 inches tall and 20 inches wide. Your child is going to have a lot of room to move around in if they are smaller, and if they are towards the capacity of how much this seat can handle, they still will be able to feel comfortable. This makes it very versatile for children of many different ages and sizes.

Ease of Use

There have been some mixed reviews on how easy this is to use, but overall, parents said that it was not difficult to figure out at all. Plus, there are user manuals and videos you can watch for additional help, and you will be able to contact customer support if necessary.

There is an Infinite Slide adjuster system for the harness, which allows you to turn the knobs on either side of the seat to tighten or loosen the harness as necessary. If you want to make the harness tighter, you will simply need to turn the knob that is closest to you. And if you want to make it looser, there is a mechanism in the seat’s middle that you will need to press while pulling the harness’ straps. There have not been too many comments on whether or not it is difficult to install this in your car, but since you are meant to change it from rear to front-facing after a period of time, it does not seem as though it would be too difficult to install.

Another thing is that the seat can recline, but people have mentioned that the mechanism for reclining the seat can be missed easily if you’re not looking for it.

Safety

Of course, perhaps the most important feature of a car seat is how safe it is for your child. This one is no exception. It has passed all the requirements for crash tests, and it falls in accordance with all the safety requirements issued by law. Your child will be supported when they are 5 pounds to 65 pounds. The car seat also comes with multi-layered cushions that not only provide comfort but protection, too. It provides protection against impact and there is also foam that is energy-absorbent. In addition, you will get a 90-day warranty when you purchase the product, and there are plenty of user manuals online that you can look at. If you need to, you can also contact the company’s customer service, who responds very quickly.

Comfort

One of the best features of this product, according to many parents, was how comfortable it is for children. For one, the cushions offer a ProComfort matrix technology, which means that they will target pressure points in your child’s body to provide relief no matter how long they will be in the car. Thanks to all the extra padding in the cushions meant for protection, you can rest assured that your child is going to be comfortable throughout the duration of your trip.

In addition, there are buckle pockets where the seatbelt is supposed to go, which protects the metal of the seatbelt from the sunlight. So, you won’t have to worry about burning your hand (or your child burning themselves) on the hot metal of the seatbelt when you’re taking your child out of the car or when getting in.

Weight

The websites where this is sold do not offer any information regarding its weight, however, some of the parents who reviewed the product said that it weighs anywhere between 15 and 20 pounds. This is certainly a bit heavy, but it is also important to take into consideration the fact that it is quite large and it offers a lot of cushioning to make sure that your child is well-protected and comfortable during the car ride. You probably won’t be able to find a car seat that is meant for newborns to elementary school children that is much lighter than this one, and especially not if you want a product that is as sturdy.

Price

When it comes to how much car seats cost or should cost, this one falls right in the middle. It’s neither too expensive nor too cheap, and according to a lot of people, it is quite decently priced when taking into consideration all the features that it has to offer and how your child’s safety is guaranteed in this seat. The retail price is $150, but you will be able to find it on online retail websites for as low as around $130. Again, this isn’t too cheap, but it also is not very overpriced, and you especially won’t have to worry about spending money on a faulty product.

Whether or not this is something that fits in your budget is up to you, but a lot of people agree that the price is worth all that this product has to offer. Also, the seat will protect a child up to 65 pounds, so you will be able to use it for many years to come and end up saving a lot of money on that aspect.

Bottom Line

One area that you should never slack off on when it comes to your child is their safety, especially in the car. This is why it’s good for every new parent or guardian to make sure that they invest in a good car seat.

Perhaps you will want one that lasts a long time, or you’ll want one specifically for infants, but regardless of what the case may be, make sure that you purchase one that provides the best support and safety features for your child.

The Evenflo Triumph LX is one that will do all of that and more. The product has all the protection necessary to protect your child against impact, and it has passed all the accident tests that it needs to in order to have been released on the market. You also won’t have to worry about whether or not your child has an accident or spills something because you will easily be able to wash the cushions in your washing machine.

This is also a great product if you want something that will last you a long time because it can hold children up to 65 pounds. So, you most likely will be able to use it from the day you bring your baby home from the hospital (if they’re more than 5 pounds at birth) up to when they’re in kindergarten or elementary school.

Besides that, the car seat has all the features necessary to provide your child with as much comfort as possible because you’ll likely be going on long road trips at some point, which will be uncomfortable for a child. They’ll also have cup holders for their favorite drinks and an adjustable headrest.

There are a lot of great features that come with the LX product, and while there are naturally a few downsides, they aren’t ones that will cause you to worry about your child’s safety. Whether or not you should purchase one depends on your personal preferences for a car seat, but this has been recommended by a lot of parents. Safe travels!
