Eddie Bauer Booster Seat

Pros: Offers many attractive improvements over the basic Cosco High-back
Cons: Most of these improvements are of limited utility. Fabric stains easily.

Note: This is an update of an earlier review. It turns out that Epinions now has a more appropriate category for this review so I'm moving it. My apologies to those of you who have read it before.

I never thought I would find myself...

Pros: As a five-point harness seat, still recommended by Consumer Reports
Cons: Unsafe and not recommended as a booster seat. As a five-point, you'll find better seats

“You mean it’s not safe?” “Why’d they make it then?” These were the questions asked by my five-year-old son when we found out our car seat was no longer recommended by Consumer Reports. I thought the second ...

Pros: Easy harness strap height and recline adjustment, sporty looks, plush upholstery, easy installation (LATCH)
Cons: Inadequate recline for newborns, upholstery gets very warm, straps tend to twist

I bought this car seat for a second car, after purchasing a Britax. The Britax Roundabout is great but I wanted to try a different model instead of buying two of the same thing. On the purely aesthetic side, the Alpha Omega has a nice sporty look that...

Pros: Appearance and Comfort
Cons: Everything else

Upon researching more of the Car Seat Categories, I found an error in my placement. I apologize for any inconvenience this has placed on anyone. But I did not feel right in belittling an item I did not own or have experience with. Thank You.
...

Pros: Easy to adjust and install, fits a wide range of children, nice reclining feature
Cons: Child must be backward facing to 22 pounds (most other seats are 20 pounds)

After going through a nightmare with my daughter's infant car seat (the kind with the base that stays in the car), I was very careful when choosing a toddler car seat. I bought this car seat because it was touted as being safe, convenient, and easy to...

Pros: Cup/snackholder, wipeable fabric, spacious.
Cons: Puzzle-like buckle, straps twist.

We recently bought this Eddie Bauer High Back Booster Seat for our 18-month-old daughter to use in my husband's car (a Volvo station wagon). We previously were using an older Cosco convertible seat that had a high base and sides, making it difficult to...

Pros: durable, comfortable, user-friendly, easy to fit and remove, easy adjustments of harness and other bits
Cons: expensive, not well-suited for tall children

We bought the Alpha Omega (AO) when our oldest son out-grew his infant seat. That was at 4 months. But hey, this amazing car seat was going to help us right the way through to 70lbs... right?

Wrong. Our son is now 33lbs, and he is too tall for...

Pros: I'm a believer - this is a safe seat!
Cons: Adjusting the straps when this seat is rear-facing can be a chore.

I wrote this review a few months ago when we bought this car seat. I was (and am) disappointed with how difficult it is to adjust the straps, as the straps seem to constantly twist. HOWEVER, recent events have made me more a believer in this car seat....

Pros: Has a drink and snack holder, comfortable
Cons: not a lot of neck support

This car seat booster is nice because it has a 5-point harness you can use to ensure a more secure buckle system than a lap belt alone. Yet when the children outgrow the 5-point harness you slide the buckles out easily and then use the shoulder belt...

Pros: Looks nice! Safe seat. Kids sit high. Long life. Very padded. Easy to adjust!
Cons: STRAPS TWIST!!!!

I'm pretty sure this is the seat I have....I didn't see any other Cosco Alpha Omega seats that had the 5 point harness listed for review.

When I decided to buy new car seats for my children I did extensive research on the topic. I finally...

Pros: Fits child from 5-80 pounds, features make it easy to adjust for growing child
Cons: The 5-point harness system can be difficult at first

This car seat is great!! I bought it for my second child and I love it so much I am thinking of buying another one to replace my first child's car seat.

This car seat can be used rear facing until the child is 35 pounds, front facing...

Pros: Very easy to use, rear facing up to 35pounds, converts to booster up to 80pounds.
Cons: Large car seat that may not fit well in some smaller cars.

Of all the purchases I've made, the Cosco Alpha Omega has been my best investment. It is very easy to use, the straps raise and lower without removing from the seat, and when my child gets older, it converts to a booster seat. I have tried many car seats...

Pros: Versatile car seat, with many nice features.
Cons: Hard to get children in and out of the car seat.

My wife and I looked at many different car seats before deciding on this one. We thought that by choosing a seat that grew with our son, we would not need to purchase bigger seats in the future.

Now that we have owned this car seat for a few...

Pros: Easy to use, installs securely, kid friendly features
Cons: Fabric shows dirt (but it washes easily enough)

We bought this seat to replace an infant/toddler seat when our son outgrew the smaller model. We really liked the Eddie Bauer infant/toddler seat, and were inclined to purchase the bigger version before we compared various models, and after comparison, ...

Pros: Nice colors, comfy padding, cup holder, 5-point restraint, net for goodies and toys, easy installation
Cons: a bit difficult to remove 5-point restraint system when not in use

My 4 1/2 year old daughter was ready for a "big girl" booster seat, so we went to Toys R' Us to find one. I had her sit in 13 car seats to test for a good fit and looked over all of the available features of each one.

This booster seat had...
