I LOVE mine. I recently took it to the UK and had to install it a bunch of times with the locking clip, even that was easy. It is easy to travel with (light), comfortable for my son ( almost 4, 40", 16" torso, just under 40 lbs), and EASY to install.
I sold my Britax seats and now have this and the EFTA. This one is much easier to get my son into and out of.
I do wish it had strap covers and the new evenflo chest clips are very annoying to use IMO, but the harness isn't a problem bc I rarely adjust it.
I would have happily paid much more for a less bare bones seat (especially one with strap covers and moving headrest), but none seemed to fit where I wanted it to fit. Strap height is great. The straps are close together but I haven't had complaints yet.
Despite what I've read here, though, it has a 6 year expiration, not 8.
