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

Pros: Easy to install and adjust
Cons: A little bulky

We bought the first AO at a military exchange in April of 2002 for our then 11th month old daughter. It is an overhead shield model, which was the only one I could find at the time. About 10 months later in Feb of 03 we bought our 2nd AO at a ...

Pros: color,weight limit
Cons: none so far (well maybe the tether), straps twist

Thanks to everyone who reviewed my epinion, and made comments.

As mentioned in many of the comments, the tether was a major concern. I had it installed in the rear facing position. As many pointed out, this is NOT acceptable. Ok, so I...

Pros: Easy adjust straps. Easy installation. Good instructions. Like back support (no ridges)
Cons: Difficult to fit in small car (tall people in front seat are tight).

Our son is now 6 months old. We started looking for a car seat when I was first pregnant. I liked the sound of some of the car seats that converted for 3 stages, but was concerned about some of this type after hearing a news article that some had design ...

Pros: Great Fit. Comfortable for the kids.
Cons: Cleaning is a nightmare!

This is one of the best seats ever made. It fits the car well and secures our children extremely well. We've tried other seats, and the others suffer by comparison. Also, our daughter likes the comfort of this one the best. There are many other raves...

Pros: One of the best car seats on the market
Cons: One of the most expensive car seats on the market

When my son was born, he was too small to buy a convertible infant/toddler/booster seat. We had to buy a special smaller sized seat/carrier in order for the hospital to release him. It worked well for a while, but he soon caught up in weight and size...

Pros: reclines, arm rest adjusts,(Base is removable.)
Cons: Big and bulky. Not a 5 point harness. Cannot remove covers easily to wash.

This carseat has a neat reclining feature which helps on long rides so baby can sleep. The arm rest adjusts as well to give more or less room. I bought mine two years ago and not a thing is wrong with it. It was the best seat for comfort. I made it on...

Pros: Adjustable, comfortable, good value for your money
Cons: Location of the harness release could be better.

I had a very big baby (10 lbs) and he grew out of the wonderful infant seat VERY fast, so at 3 months old we had to find a convertible car seat. I wanted something that would handle a big boy, weight and length, so that was our first hurdle. I was in ...

Pros: Easy to put baby in and secure, good looking and secure. LONG LASTING!!
Cons: Large for rear facing

I bought this car seat because my brother in law has one for his son. I had the advantage of putting Emma in it for fit prior to buying it. I used this seat for her from about 7 1/2 months in rear facing. I had no trouble putting it in my Ford...

Pros: Less expensive, holds children 20-100 pounds
Cons: Twisted straps, shallow seat, hard to buckle for larger children, too tall for rear facing.

We bought this seat after our son outgrew his travel system carrier car seat. He was still riding rear-facing in the car at the time, but we needed a seat that would grow with him. This seat was recommended for rear-facing children under 1 year of ...

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: This car seat is REALLY easy to adjust and install (esp. with the UAS)
Cons: A little cumbersome in a mid-sized sedan.

HIGHLY recommended. The UAS is easy to use, especially to disengage. (I test-ran other car seats w ...

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: 5 point harness, good safety rating, up to 80 pounds, 3-1, washable
Cons: Bulky, difficult to adjust at times

We used this seat after our daughter had outgrown the carrier and had first used it rear facing. We where unable to install it in our Neon because of it's size, it would not fit, rear facing. But once we could use it front facing, it fit in, though it's...

Pros: ONE CAR SEAT AND ONLY ONE
Cons: not a carrier.

I never realized until I had kids that the cute little carrier seat you see parents toting everywhere only holds kids till 20-30lbs. When I found out I was pregnant I started looking for a car seat that I could use until my child was out of car seats...

Pros: Great protection in a side-impact collision, grows with child, durable seat cover.
Cons: Given my experience: none.

We bought our Alpha Omega Car Seat several years ago because we liked that it would grow with our child. We have used it as a rear facing and forward facing infant seat and as a belt positioning booster. What every parent really wants to know about a ...
