Good seat, but won't buy it again
Pros:
Very comfortable padding
Cons:
Child outgrew it in height way before she reached the weight limit.
The Bottom Line:
I would get a more expensive Britax that will fit my child for a much longer time period and save me money in the long run.

Author's Review
This seat has served us well. I got it when my daughter was about 6 months old and had grown out of her infant seat. She is now over 2 years old. It has held up pretty well. The straps are a pain in the neck, though. I know some people have trouble with the straps, and though we didn't have trouble, per se, it just takes a while longer to strap her in. I have a new baby now and I decided to go with a Britax Boulevard for the new baby. I am very tall and have very tall kids, so I figure the $300 for the Boulevard will actually be saving me money in the long run. For my older daughter, we spent $100 on the infant seat, $150 for the triumph, and now we need to get her a bigger seat, because she is too tall for the Triumph, and she's only 26 months old! So it looks like we'll be getting her a Britax Regent for $270. So, I've spent over $520 now when I could have just spent $299 to begin with and had one car seat fit her all the way through. Oh well, live and learn.
But for those of you who have small kids, this seat is fine. But I've decided that the extra safety features, especially the side impact protection on the Britax is worth more to me than any amount of money.
Oh and the little cup holder it comes with is a total joke. It doesn't hold anything and it doesn't attach well.
