Evenflo Generations

Pros: Easy to adjust shoulder straps, nice washable bum pad.

Cons: A thigh pincher / crotch smasher of a design! Way to Go, Evenflo!

Review: I have 5 kids & more carseats than should be allowed by law! This carseat is a dream to adjust - very similar to the Evenflo Triumph convertible (my favorite carseat ever!). HOWEVER... this seat has zero padding around the crotch strap & the crotch...

Pros: Easy to install. Easy to unstrap child one handed. Comfortable for child.

Cons: Flimsy arm rests..big deal. Seating could use more cushioning for bum.

The Bottom Line: My husband and I each have one in our vehicles. We are both happy with this seat and have had no problems. Will purchase two more for our youngest child.

Review: I purchased the Evenflo Generations Booster Seat when my son was 22 months old, February 2007. My husband has the identical one in his Camry. Now I have a daughter who is 17 months and am considering purchasing the same one for her when she's...

Pros: Okay as a booster seat.

Cons: straps uncomfortable arm rests came off harness not long enough to fit bigger child

Review: We had the Evenflo convertible seat which was great. This seat was not. The straps were uncomfortable (there was no padding where the belts came together). My child hated it. The arm rest fell off the first time we used it. The harness was not long...

Pros: Good support,snack and drink holder.

Cons: Arm rests fall off easily, too straight up for small child.

Review: This car seat seems to be good for older children. Our daughter is new to the front facing seats and the seat seems to be sitting so straight up that she almost is leaning forward. When she falls asleep in the car her head is always bent so...

Pros: Adjustor knobs, nice looking seat, very light

Cons: Flimsy arm rests, flimsy sides, poor head support for sleeping child

The Bottom Line: If it wasn't for the flimsy arm rests and sides, this would be a decent seat, but I couldn't personally recommend the seat in good conscience.

Review: The Generations seat is definitely nice to look at, but it was a let down after having an Evenflo Triumph 5. I was hoping the Generations would be as strongly built as the Triumph, but it wasn't. I found the arm rests to be very poorly built. They...

Pros: none

Cons: armrests break, short straps and uncomfortable

Review: When we purchased this carseat, it was the most expensive one at Toys R Us. Somehow we equated the high price to quality, but we found out quickly that was not the case. As others have noted, the arm rests broke off very quickly and we have never...

Pros: Cup holder, adjustment knobs, adjustable head rest

Cons: Poor head support

The Bottom Line: As I said I would recommend this for short distances.

Review: I would not recommend this car seat to families who travel long distances. If your child falls asleep frequently in the car this is not the car seat for you. It does not recline at all and has absolutly no support for the head when your child is...

Pros: Comfortable, good looking, & a good buy.

Cons: I can see how the crotch strap could be too tight on a larger child.

Review: We bought this car seat for our older son about 10 months ago, when we gave his convertible car seat to his younger brother. All I can say is that he loves it, we love it & he seems very comfortable in it.
He's 2 & 1/2 & weighs about 30 lbs...

Pros: my daughter likes it. It's nice to have armrests that go up and down.

Cons: It's is the worst car seat we've ever owned. I definitely do not recommend it.

Review: It's attractive blends well with car interior. I think it is somewhat flimsy. It is VERY difficult to get the cover off to wash it. You have to remove the arm rests and I just can't do it. I get too frustrated and have to have my husband do it and...

Pros: 5 point harness, supports up to 100lbs as high back booster, narrow, light weight, inexpensive

Cons: Feels cheap, including: flipup arms, general operation, cup holder. TensionRight too close to seat bottom.

The Bottom Line: If you can learn to live with some shortcomings, it comes with a price that is hard to ignore. Nothing else good about it stands out.

Review: We have owned a good number of seats and have never bought two of the same seat. It always seems that there is something better, or perhaps a better option. There is certainly no lack of options when it comes to child safety seats. This niche may be...
