Cosco Juvenile Alpha Omega Elite 5-Point 22155 Booster Car Seat - Transpire

Pros: Heavy duty, SAFE, easily adjusts to child(s) individual requirements
Cons: fire department assistance needed for initial installation

We were recently involved in a car accident. THIS CAR SEAT SAVED OUR, 13 month old, SON FROM ANY INJURIES while our 14 yr old daughter seated next to him was not so lucky! With the initial purchase of this car seat, we went to our local fire department ...

Pros: Good value for money, sturdy, quality fabric
Cons: The straps get twisted easily, not good for small infants

We purchased two of these Alpha Omega car seats about 5 years ago for our daughter. We're now using them for our 1 1/2 year old son. We did a bunch of research before purchasing the seats and these seemed to be the best value for our money. We ...

Pros: No puzzle buckle; comfortable; recline settings; LATCH install; grows with child; cushions included; price.
Cons: Difficult to install for one person, remove cover, get correct recline; belt buckle under seat.

We bought a Cosco Alpha Omega Elite 22155 model when my daughter grew too big for her infant seat a few months ago. I had read many reviews and this one was rated the best and had the features I wanted for a good price (I got it on sale). It was hard to ...

Pros: Safe, comfortable and easy to adjust to a growing kiddo!
Cons: The bottom cushion/positioner has faded in the sun

We purchased this seat for our son after having purchased a ComfortSport seat by another manufacturer and hating it. We just LOVE all the safety features and comfort padding in this seat. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a safe, quality and ...

Pros: Price, Versatility, 3 in 1, No threading straps, Tether strap, 5-100lbs
Cons: Not suitable head support for young infants, Not enough recline for rear-facing position

I'll be honest, I was very hesitate to purchase this car seat because I had read so many negative reviews about it. I really had my heart set on buying a $250-$300 Britax model. However, I wasn't in a position to spend that kind of money on a car seat. I ...

Pros: looks nice, matches car interior, 5-point harness
Cons: Bulky when rear-facing, twisted straps & no head support when car napping!

We received this seat as a shower gift when my daughter was born 3 years ago. At first I liked the seat. When she was 10 months old we put her in it rear facing and the seat was wonderful! It was quite big and bulky in the back seat (wouldn't work in a ...

Pros: I really like the colors (pink and brown) and it is very well cushioned.
Cons: Directions are not clear and the latch system is terrible.

I read the safety information and thought I was buying the best. I have found this seat so difficult, I am going back to my infant carrier for now. The directions for the latch system were not very clear. After 45 minutes of reading, threading and ...

Pros: Beautiful! Great Features! Heavy Duty!
Cons: Expensive, hard to clean, very heavy

The first Cosco Alpha Omega carseat I bought was for my now six year old daughter. I thought it was the greatest carseat ever and everyone complimented us on it- calling it the "Caddy" of all carseats. It was definitely a very good-looking carseat! I ...

Pros: Nice forward facing child sits comfortably in it Excellent customer service
Cons: Big/heavy Straps hard to tighten Hard to install in smaller vehicles Expensive

We bought this car seat about 6 months ago because it had a high safety rating. This being our first child and first kick at the cat with car seats, I didn't realize that it was defective from day one. The locking mechanism for the straps didn't lock ...

Pros: Adjustable harness; Accommodates kids of many sizes
Cons: Not good for the very young; Doesn't double as a carrier

Being a new dad has brought with it the opportunity to shop for, and evaluate, many different products I never imagined myself needing or buying. I now find myself walking up and down the baby aisles in stores, visiting departments that I once only ...

Pros: Comfortable Plush cloth keeps baby from slipping during adjustments. SIMPLE to adjust height of straps!
Cons: Doesn't fit in medium sized car. Too hard to tighten straps. Poor buckle design.

We ended up having to return this. Unfortunately the store we purchased it at (ToysRUs/BabiesRUs) didn't allow us to try a model in our car. Our daughter is 11 months, so she still needs to be rear-facing, but she can't fit in her infant carrier ...

Pros: Comfortable, easy to tighten harness, lots of fabric choices.
Cons: fairly wide, may not be the best in narrow cars. can be fairly pricey.

As a CPS Tech I have installed countless numbers of Alpha Omega Elite's and Eddie Bauer Elites. I would recomend this car seat for anyone who is moving their infant out of the infant seat. The harness slots are too high for any baby under 3mos, so I ...

Pros: Padding is thicker than competitor brands, I durability of the side head supports.
Cons: Installation, Installation, Installation!!!!!!!! Should come with warning that it does not fit small cars!

I just bought this item over the weekend and neither I nor my husband could get the car seat tight enough while rear facing. I'm very upset that the base only has one place to weave the lap belt through. If there was another place to weave the belt ...

Pros: one of the only car seats to recline
Cons: must take car seat out in order to recline

After our baby outgrew his rear facing car seat we went searching for a forward facing seat. We were so overwhelmed when we went to the store and saw the endless brands, models, and designs. We did not know where to begin or what to look for. We ...

Pros: Well Padded, Nice Looking, Easy to Use, Durable Fabric
Cons: Straps Twist a Bit, Does Not Recline Enough, Not Deep Enough to Cradle Small Baby

I did a lot of research on car seats when I realized my 7 mo was too long for infant carrier. I wanted to get something that would last for our next baby as well. I was in the process of looking for a seat when I went to Sears and the Alpha Omega was ...
