Good morning Clarissa,

Thank you for visiting safetymadeeasier.com! We appreciate your input!

Your wish is our command; come July the Triumph and Titan Convertible
Seats will have a rear facing weight limit of 35lbs!

We had so many requests through the website that it helped to complete
our testing early and make the announcement early.

Thanks again for visiting safetymadeasier.com! Fee free to email us
any
time with questions!

That is absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

With a rearfacing weight of 35 lbs and a forward facing weight of 50, this becomes a seat competitive with the Britax seats. Hurrah for more affordable GOOD seats on the market.

Graco's ass is showing, isn't it? *snickers*

How much do they both normally run? When do they normally come out with new seats for the year?

The email I received from Evenflo said the new Triumph will be available in July.

I got an e-mail from them too. I am excited about this. I really like my triumph, but I was planning on buying my 20 month old a new seat because I want him rearfacing longer and harnessed longer. He should still fit in his triumph rearfacing for another couple of months and then maybe I will buy him this new one. I was debating between the uptown, and the fpsvd - but maybe I will like the new triumph better! It will be afordable too. I have heard that they will be between $130 and $150.

I like the triumph rearfacing because his legs have lots of room - more room than scenera. I like how well it installs in our van - super easy and rock solid. He seems very comfortable in it. My only two complaints were the harness slots being so far apart and the short shell. Now that they fixed these it sounds great.

Heheheehe....

What do you guys think of the titan? Is it outgrown early? How low slots?

That's awesome news! Hurray for extended RF! Now, if the Triumph could be tethered RF, I'd love it even more!

Ooooh, this would make a good grandma seat. it would last longer than a scenara or uptown, which are my other ideas for grandma seats. Not that he'll ride in their cars often enough to warrant a seperate seat.

This now makes this an awesome seat to recommend to the people who really care about $ over safety! Do you know if it's coming to Canada at the same time?

Patriot201 · May 9, 2007

Alright, now I feel like I might need to give this seat a try.

I am still not thrilled with the knobs, but I will give it a try when it comes out. Maybe it is better than it used to be...

Or to people who are trying to decide whether to feed their kid or keep them safe in the car.

Seriously, though, it's not really fair to make that judgment (i.e., "They don't care enough.") There's absolutely ZERO evidence that more expensive seats are safer. It's even possible that this new Evenflo seat would kick Britax's metaphorical butt in crash tests, if we had public crash tests in the US. We don't know.

Is it still going to have the ucky double harness? That's the main reason I never liked it.

I

the double harness. That memory harness meant I could leave this seat with trusted people to babysit (installed in their vehicle) and did not have to worry about whether the straps were tight enough or not!

I do realize that the memory harness was an either love it or hate it item on the seat... I was just in the love it category.

LeeLi · May 9, 2007

The new Triumph keeps looking more and more awesome. They fixed all the things I don't like about mine-short shell, the double "memory" harness, and low RF/FF weights. The new infinite adjust harness looks really nice, I hope it works as well as it seems in videos.

LuvBug · May 9, 2007

no it doesnt have the memory harness anymore, yay!
I hope the shell really is a good bit taller and the top slots are too. If so this is gonna be a great affordable seat!
I wonder how wide it will be? I wonder if I can get 3 across with it, a marathon, and a safeseat? lol!

Splash · May 9, 2007

This is now my new favorite seat, and I see no reason to ever waste time with Britax again.

Dear Evenflo,

I love you.

Signed,
Me

And their customer service can't be beat!

When I made that statement I was merely thinking of my SIL in paticular, who seems to think the only thing that matters about a car seat is cost, and how cushy the seat is. If this was coming just a little sooner, I could probably get her to buy this seat over the AO, which her DS is about to grow out of at 2 years old, and he will be 2 this Friday. I didn't mean to make a judgement about people buying more expesive seats being safer, all I meant is that it gives more options to recommend to get them closer to a High weight seat.
