Evenflo Tribute 5 Convertible Car Seat, Fairfax

 (22 customer reviews)

I got this car seat as an extra car seat for when my husband needs to pick up our son from day car, just 1.5 miles from our house. I'm EXTREMELY anal about car seats. I'm always correcting my friends on car seat safety. Our main car seat is a Britax Marathon. This is similar to the Britax Marathon as it is rear and forward facing. I read one review that said this car seat was really hard. I don't think so. It doesn't have lots of padding on the bum, but it's not hard either. The side impact on the car seat seems better in real life than the picture. This car seat doesn't have all the bells and whistles like other car seats, like the "leveler" that tells you if the car seat is in a level position. But as long as you aren't new to car seats, you should be able to figure out if its level on its own anyway.

We bought 2 of these because of the price and one much more expensive car seat for the big travel car. My son loves this car seat because he can see out in the big seat is lost and still can not see out. Both types of seats have the same weight and height limitations and requirements. This one was just as easy to install as the bigger one. This car seat fits in my vibe with out having to have the passenger seat all the way forward, the bigger one would not. Just as easy to adjust if not easier. Though it has less padding all round, it has the same amount of padding in the areas that it is need the most. We will be suggesting it to friends.

Great car seat....easy to install...sturdy...This was a gift for my granddaughter's 6 month old baby. She loves it and so does he. Highly recommend this car seat.
