Evenflo Symphony DLX Platinum All-in-One Convertible Car Seat - Emerson

very good

This seat has great features but one negative that forced me to return the product. The seat rattles well beyond my tollerance level. It made no difference whether a child was in the seat or not. I would not buy this seat.

I got this car seat top replace an old one that was (unoccupied) in an accident. The seat is wonderful, durable, and I feel that my daughter is very safe in it. It does recline a bit, enough to be comfy but safe.It had all of the amenities of a Britax, but a better cost and more attractive. The self-ratcheting anchor lines are very nice to have, especially after having ones that needed manual tightening. I have never EVER had a problem with rattling, and I'd suggest that may be improper installation. This is easy to move from car to car and my daughter (tall for her age) has always fit well as the seat "grows" with the child. The cup holder could be deeper (for taller cups), but are very secure. I have noticed that the material is significantly better than in most car seats, and is breathable so it does not get as hot in the summer (my daughter is a third child in 5 years, so I have plenty of car seat experience). Highly recommend. Check pricing - Babies R Us may have a better price.

The cup holder broke off in the first day from who knows what, this seat also does not recline far enough for infants.
