Remembering Why I love the Triumph Advance

Yoshi · Oct 20, 2007

Today I reinstalled the Triumph Advance in DH's car (center with seatbelt) We had it out for a while and were just using the Subaru on weekends. Not only it is rock solid tight and as we were leaving to go to the pumpkin farm, DD said "Yay- Let's take Daddy's car, I love this seat!" She has actually been complaining about the Radian straps now (after a year of no complaints

) and I have to make sure the harness covers are in just the right spot on her neck or she is one PO'd little girl. Why now after all this time???? I am seriously this close to getting another TA for my car too and put that Radian in the garage. I know SO many of you don't like it- but she is too big for a Britax convertible and the Apex sucks in my book, and I will NOT get a Regent. (long story, but we used to have one)

My DS really likes our TA too. I don't think he likes it more than the regent, but he likes it much better than the evenflo harnessed boosters we have in his grandmas' cars. He fidgets in those and pulls at his straps.

Hey Tina, I can totally understand you wanting to get another EFTA. That seat is like a big comfy lounge chair. The fabric was very nice on it as well. I was very impressed with the seat, especially for the money.

If DD really likes it, and it keeps her harnessed then get an EFTA. FWIW, my DD has NEVER complained about carseats, but she will complain on the Radian if I don't get the shoulder pads "just right", so I totally understand what it's like...
