Evenflo SureRide/Titan 65 Review

The Evenflo SureRide/Titan 65 has made a name for itself in the car seat world, and rightfully so. This seat offers some of the tallest harness slots of any convertible seat as well as a good fit for many newborns, making it is one of the only convertibles that will expire before kids outgrow it.

Evenflo Symphony Review

Evenflo offers a wide range of car seats and booster seats.  In the middle of their lineup of convertible and multimode car seats is the well-featured Symphony.  This plush car seat isn’t particularly long lasting or easy to move between vehicles but it has plenty of interesting features to offer.

Diono Monterey XT Booster Seat Review

The Monterey XT is a great booster for any booster-ready child, especially those with larger builds.  It is easy to install and use.  The lower anchor connectors, cup holders, and adjustable width are all very nice features that make this seat uniquely customizable.  While it is bulky and won’t work well in a three-across situation, the Diono Monterey XT is definitely a great seat for bigger littles.

gb Idan Review

The Idan is a very stylish addition to the gb lineup. Unfortunately, it has too many flaws for us to be able to recommend it.  Here’s a quick summary: the headrest positions the baby with the chin against the chest, the straps are virtually impossible to tighten, the manual gives unclear instructions about the infant insert, and the straps twist almost every time you use them.

Cosco Finale Review

Combination car seats fill an important gap in the car seat market — forward facing only seats that allow children to remain in a harnessed car seat until they’re truly ready to move to a booster seat. We’d like to introduce the Cosco Finale, which comes in at the staggeringly low suggested retail price of $49 for the base model and $59 for the more plush cover.

Stow That Top Tether Strap!

Don’t leave a tether strap hanging! A tether strap may have a long tail to accommodate anchors that are far from the vehicle seat. Be sure to appropriately bundle and store the excess so it doesn’t get caught hanging outside of the vehicle or create a strangulation hazard for a child.

Three Across Update

Installing three car seats in one row, also known as three across, is one of the biggest challenges a growing family can face when it comes to car seats. The words “three across” might send fear down the spine of any caregiver or CPST, but they don’t have to!
