This is a good carseat!

by sanka_03 , Nov 03 '03
Pros: Inexpensive, lightweight, durable, nice pattern, easy to install
Cons: Harness is sometimes difficult to release, harness is 3 pt.
UPDATE: This is a seat that was used by a parent I babysat for and then given to me and used again for another 6 months. Consumer Reports has shown this seat to be unsafe, in that it can fly off its base in a crash. So definitely do you research ...

No problems with this car seat! (updated with more information)

by zannepeters , Aug 30 '04
Pros: Sturdy, easy to use, versatile.
Cons: Learning curve with putting seat into base.
We received the Evenflo Discovery carseat as a gift, part of the Discovery Plus Travel System sold by Sears. So far we've had no problems with it. I was actually irritated at first when I discovered which seat we were getting. I ...

Great Car Seat For Infants

by kamikyle , Oct 20 '04
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Hubby and I looked and looked for a nice carseat that would not break the bank. This one did the trick. ALL of the other car seats were big and bulky, and looked too big for a newborn. This one fit our son nicely from the day he was born, until age 9 ...

...And Away We Go!!!

by YolandaM , Dec 24 '05
Pros: Lightweight, easy to carry, easy to adjust.
Cons: Need quite bit of college :-) and elbow grease to release the harness.
I just recently had a new baby, and was given this car seat by a friend, after she noticed me trying to carry a very heavy convertible car seat with the baby in it, which was often because I don't have a car. This little seat is a God send, It doubles ...

Almost no problem

by masktuxedo , Mar 11 '05
Pros: - Easy to use. - Snap-in to almost every shopping cart.
Cons: There are only two Evenflo strollers that support this car seat.
We received a voucher as a gift from the hospital, and we pick this car seat up at Walmart. The only problem we have is to select a Stroller that match this carseat. Any stroller that match this car seat is always sold in stores in my area as part of a ...

Not The Safest Choice

by michaelleary , Jan 06 '07
Pros: Affordable
Cons: No energy absorbing foam, No five point harness, Does poorly on crash tests
When we purchased this we were looking for a basic car seat that was affordable. We ended up with the Evenflo Discovery. It was a no frills basic car seat at an affordable price. Installation was fairly easy and it only took two of us five minutes to ...

52 Complaints of the Base Separating During Accidents

by lisaj0269 , Aug 15 '04
Pros: Cute Patterns
Cons: Children have died in this car seat. Consumer complaints about the base separating during collisions.
My niece Candace purchased this seat new from WalMart in October of 2003. She loved the pattern and it was given high safety ratings from the NHTSA. She was a single mom, so the cost was right. What more could she ask for, it was supposed to be a ...

Dont buy this
by samyk ,Jan 06 '07
Pros: None
Cons: Hard plastic, heavy, uncomfortable, unsafe, awkward...
It bangs on your legs as you walk, the handle is hard to use.
Its too heavy, cumbersome even without the baby in it. Its too hard on the baby's head, the head rest is useless and the babys head rolls around as it doesn't hold it properly.
It is hard to fit in the car and awkward to clip in and out.
It doesn't always stay clipped in and neither does the harness.
We bought a different one, I wouldn't recommend this one at all. Its also been tested unsafe with the consumer reports. Go to their website and look for a safer one.
I would vote no stars if I could

Not the best car seat
by jamiereinhold ,Jun 18 '07
Pros: Inexpensive, light weight, easy to carry
Cons: Awkward to put into the base; doesn't seem to stay super sturdy in the base
I do not think you need to spend a fortune to get a good car seat, but after owning 3 infant seats, I think this has been my least favorite. I don't like how you have to dip in down into the base and it seems very unstable once in the base, even though my base is tight as can be; I bought the Graco Snugride instead and think it is much better quality and much easier to use

Inexpensive, but hard to use
by bonnie27 ,Mar 04 '05
Pros: Car seat is easy to clean and adjust.
Cons: Hard to fold handle and remove from car.
The car seat is inexpensive, but I find it difficult to use. I can not get my car's seat belt to pull tight and this causes the base to be loose against the seat. The car seat also sometimes gets stuck in the base and I have to push it back into the base until the base's clip releases and then I can try to remove it again. This is the most bothersome of the problems. You may also find that the car seat handle sometimes can be hard to fold down. The car seat is easy to clean and the shoulder straps are easy to adjust

A very nice carseat!
by sco930 ,May 19 '04
Pros: Priced right, comfortable, sturdy
Cons: Buckling and unbuckling can take some work
I bought this with my 4th baby and it is actually so cozy he actually uses it for a bed! The carseat itself is night, lightweight, and durable. The padding is thick and comfortable and the straps are nice and sturdy. I also like the padding's design as it would work for a baby boy or girl! The only drawback for me is the buckle, it is a little bit hard to unsnap him out of the carseat, and takes a little elbow grease, other than that it is safe, priced right, and comfortable for both of us!

Evenflo discovery infant car seat/carrier
by cmillerrn2 ,Mar 23 '05
Pros: This car seat is versitil and can be used as a carrier or infant seat.
Cons: Will not hold up in a roll over type accident throwing the infant out.
This is not a safe car seat. It will not hold up in a rollover accident. It will toss baby out and leave the baby hanging from infants neck. Yes it will still be connected to base but since it is not a 5 point harness type restraint it is easy for a infant to roll out in this type of accident. I had a rollover accident and my 6 month old came out of the seat and was found hanging from his car seat. Blue and barely breathing. When I contacted Evenflo they gave me a lame excuse and offered to buy back the seat for a mesley $50.00. With no apology. I will not and would not ever recommend this
seat to anyone with an infant.
