Saw this on Amazon. It appears to be a redesigned Momentum. Interesting that they brought it back.

If that's new, then YAy! I liked the Momentum.

It's nowhere on Evenflo's site.

I'm pretty sure it's new because it has buckle pockets which is a newer feature on Evenflo seats.

Side note...has anyone had a chance to play with the newest infinite slide adjuster harnesses with the buckle pockets in the location as shown? I just picked up a Symphony and the shoulder harnesses are sticky. I used to have a Triumph, and the slides slid in a smooth seamless manner, but the Symphony only seems to want to "click" in every few inches and it takes some force to move them.

Do the plastic tabs dig in their shoulders if they are wearing tank tops?

Yeah, our floor models are kind of sticky and jump erratically from height to height when I try to prove how smooth they are.

This new Momentum also has the self retracting LATCH, that wasn't on the old one, was it?
Our BRU Triumph is gone, and two models of Symphony are on clearance, so I wonder if we'll get one of these now...hmmm...

I really love my SecureKid DLX and saw the Momentum DLX on Amazon and really want it but missed it on lightning deals.

I love the self-ratcheting latch buckles and it appears to be lightweight so it can stay latched for a long time. I was going to come here and ask about it as it is new to me - any issues with the previous version? My van's captains chairs are kind of sloped so any seat needs to have adjustable angle RFing.

I have the new Momentum and I'm working on a review. Honestly, I really like it. For me it's the perfect merger of a Triumph and a Symphony.

I actually LOVE all the Evenflo hip-adjusting convertibles. I took the cover off my Symphony to see what was going on and discovered some overblow with the EPS foam around the shoulder tracks. Several times forcefully sliding the tabs up and down knocked them off and now they are super smooth, so I'm happy.

The SureLatch? I bought one almost 4 years ago when they first came out in Canada and it had SureLatch.

Did it pick up the "new" Evenflo rfing height limit of 37 inches? That's been a real bummer to recommending the evenflo convertibles to others.

Yes, it has a 37" RF height limit but it's pretty tall - taller than the Triumph or Symphony. It's actually as tall as a Radian. I know the original Momentum models went by the 1" rule and personally I would have absolutely no issue with disregarding the 37" height limit in this case *if it were my own child*, and just going by the 1" rule instead. But I can't tell other people to do that, kwim? Still, it's ridiculous for this seat to have a 37" limit because it's NOT a short seat.

My Momentum review will be published on the blog early next week so stay tuned for more info. You'll see that my RF model is 4 yrs old and 41" tall and still has plenty of shell above her head.
