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

Pros: Only one carseat to buy
Cons: Infant position needs to recline more.

Okay, it is a great seat for children over 20 pounds, and it is a good seat for children under. However, I have a 7 month old and we first had the infant carrier that we decided to put in storage once my daughter was 15 pounds, she was too much of a...

Pros: Easy to use, long lasting, parent friendly
Cons: Bulky weight

This Cosco car seat provides ease of use and long lasting durability. The instructional video that was included with car seat was really handy and was nice to look at again when the car seat needed to be modified to fulfill the needs of my growing child....

Pros: Comfortable, 5-80lbs!!
Cons: Not very easy to move between cars

This is the 2nd car seat we used with our daughter. It has got to be the best car seat out there! Willow seems to be more than comfortable sitting in the seat.
Installation seemed to be a breeze. It has only needed to be tightened once in the 12...

Pros: 5-point harness, one hand harness adjustment,level recline.
Cons: the harness twist, and it is a little hard to clean-up after an accident.

Overall I have had a great experience with this carseat. We bought the seat with the 5-point harness. We have a small car that the seat is in most of the time it fits into it just fine. This carseat has held up very nicely with no cracks in the ...

Pros: Easy Adjustments, comfortable, sturdy
Cons: BIG

I saw this car seat and decided it was worth the money since it would be the only car seat I would need to buy for my two month old baby, EVER AGAIN. It goes from a rear facing infant seat, to a front facing toddler seat (with three point harness and...

Pros: Great features, reasonable price, high quality
Cons: Straps tangle, buckle can be a pain, not as nice as the Britax

We bought an Alpha Omega for our second car. It's a nice seat with plenty of great features, the str ...

Pros: Good safety rating. Easy in, out & adjustment. Baby is comfy.
Cons: MUST read instructions to put in car first time & use adjustment feature.

From 2 very picky new parents!!! We originally bought the Evenflo Triumph (highest consumer reports safety rating for conv.seats) and we did like it, but our little boy (9.5lbs at 2 mos) always seemed scrunched in it. I will say the Triumph seemed to ...

Pros: We feel very safe with this seat. Doesn't move an inch when properly installed.
Cons: Bulky as a rear facing seat. Too big for newborn size babies

Our family has really enjoyed this seat. It was our second car seat purchase. Our first being an infant carrier. I don't feel that we would have liked this so much for or child when she was under 20 lbs. It just doesn't seem like it would hold such a...

Pros: Grows with baby, easy to use, baby comfort
Cons: Doesn't work so well backwards in small cars.

And we did! Buy another one, that is. My daughter is a light weight and will probably need to ride in some sort of car/booster seat until she is 15 years old. I love how this seat grows with your child to a booster seat. The back extends upward to...

Pros: was very easy to take in and out of the car.
Cons: buckle is difficult to engage; buckle came unattached from the seat during routine use.

Originally, we thought to purchase another more expensive brand of seat, but the appeal of the Alpha ...

Pros: 5 point harness, easily adjustable, well padded.
Cons: tough fit in smaller cars

My wife and I chose to add this to our baby registry after looking at at least 10 different seats. Our intent was to use it only as a front facing toddler seat after our son outgrew his infant carrier. As it turns out, we have found plenty of use for...

Pros: A good fit for several years
Cons: A bit expensive if you just need a convertible car seat

As the mother of a toddler in the 90th percentile for size and weight, I was concerned when, at just 6 months, my son outgrew his infant only car seat. Most of the models I found would only accommodate 22-25 pounds rear facing. I knew that this would...

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: It could be the only car seat you buy!
Cons: It's heavy and a pain to carry! Also the straps twist up too easily.

This is a good car seat if you can just install it and not have to move it from car to car or have to carry it through the airport. It is heavy and there is no handle on it. I found it difficult to carry it on my Greyhound trip, as I had it strapped to...

Pros: The only car seat that can go up to 70 pounds.
Cons: It is very large and bulky.

I have twin boys that are 14 months old and they have been using this car seat since they were six months old. My number one issue when picking out a car seat was safety. After extensive research I found that this car seat was just as safe, if not...
