Symphony DLX All-In-One Car Seat By Evenflo #clickclickpush
While at Blissdom Canada last year I met the wonderful PR team from Evenflo Baby. Having a few wee ones, I was interested in seeing their newest technology – SureLatch auto-retracting connectors.
Huh?
“It’s simple!” the guy told me, “You just Click, Click, Push!”. It’s so easy to remember that even my kids knew what to do!
Apparently all you had to do was click each latch into the latch hook, and push on the seat to tighten. I fell in love. Move over Honey, there’s a new stud in town and its name is SureLatch!
I may have spent some time chasing down the right person. I may have sounded over-eager. Truth is, I LOVE this technology and wanted to share it with everyone I know. I may have yelped a little a lot when the FedEx guy showed up with my brand new Symphony DLX All-In-One Car Seat, courtesy of Evenflo Canada.
I’m not going to waste your time listing the specks (there are plenty other reviews for that) – but here’s what you need to know:
- You’ll never need another car seat again – from newborn to 10 yrs old if you wish!
- The padding is not only safe, it’s comfy for the little one.
- My mother-in-law has no problems installing and removing this thing – a bonus since she takes the baby once a week. If she can do it…. anyone can!
- It’s large and in charge – may not be suitable for your convertible mustang or VW Bug. Truth be told, your convertible mustang may not be suitable for a young family regardless…. #justsaying.
- It really *is* that easy: Click. Click. Push.
Check out this awesome review video Jasmine & I did and see it in action!
Personally, I would still use a newborn seat that is part of a travel system for the first 6 months – the ability to take a baby in and out of a car without waking them is priceless – but otherwise this is the best car seat we’ve ever used!
Love the video. The kids are so darn cute!!!!
Yes, the “Click Click Push” technology does make it easier to install which makes it more appealing for some parents.
As a car seat technician, I need to clarify a few things that you’ve mentioned in your review.
Please remember that when rear-facing it needs to be a the proper angle so don’t just install it without reading the manual to make sure that you’re following the manufacturers instructions.
With the high height and weight limits, you will be able to use it longer than some other seats on the market. Parents need to be aware that car seats expire, and this will be good for 8 years from the date of manufacture. If you purchased this seat at the time of your child’s birth, it will not last them until they are 10 years old.
Thanks for your input Wendy! the expiry date hadn’t occurred to me, good point 🙂 Of course, I assume it’s understood that all parents should check installation guides before attempting their own installation. That being said… I love how easy this car seat is to install! and changing positions (it has 3!) takes 2 seconds. Love 🙂
I love our travel system, the only complaint I have is that it takes up so much room!! That is a really nice seat thoug – looks really cozy 🙂
Now I wish that travel system was around when my daughters were toddlers! That car seat is super cool and looks very reliable!
Passing this onto my friends with littler ones. this is something I would have loved to have when my daughter was younger!
I think that’s the same carseat I have, just a different fabric.
Isn’t it awesome 🙂
I loved our convertible car seat! I hated lugging the infant carrier around so we switched to the convertible and then I wore baby in a sling, wrap or carrier! SO MUCH BETTER & SAFER!
I, too, love the sling 🙂 We always used the stroller with our infant seat, but now we use a folding wagon. These convertible car seats are so much better than the one I had when my oldest was a toddler!
I am in the market for a new carseat and have been trying to compare. Thanks for this review. It was very helpful.
I’ve had a different convertible seat for all 3 of my kids, plus have used the ones that grandparents insisted they keep in their car (omg they can’t pick a good seat to save their lives I think! lol). Bar-none, this is the BEST car seat we have ever owned. Worth every single penny. I does go backwards and reclined for newborns, and front-facing in 2 positions. Have a serious look at it next time you’re in toys r us 🙂
The newborn car seat was the best, wasn’t it? I loved that I could just grab them and go – especially if they were asleep!
that’s the best feature for those 🙂
Its a shame i had not seen one like this before buying ours.This one looks really great.
A good car seat is so important, and hard to find. I must also say that your daughter can make a pretty good sales pitch 🙂
Thanks Joanna! We’re pretty proud of her – she practiced for about 1 month to get her lines perfectly. We filmed video and audio from 4 different angles, and when editing we used only 1 of the audio files and were able to perfectly match the audio with the different angled video – such a pro, at such a young age! 🙂
Car seats have gotten so much better since I was toting my kids around and they used them!
A good car seat is so important. I researched mine forever. Luckily now my kids are older!! Thanks for sharing
Sounds like a great car seat. Is the car seats expiration date 10 years?
I know a little boy who is about to get out of his car seat, I will share this with his mom. Easy is good.
The first video is great! i really like it when the little ones want to be the bog ones..
that was a cute video and well I may not have kids in car seats but i want one of these.
This does look like a great car seat. I too love the infant carriers for errands, and sleeping babies, but after the first 6-8 months this is what I’d go with.
Very cool videos! I’m trying to use videos in my reviews more.
Those little kids are adorable! Very cool vids.
Thanks for the information. I am looking for a good one to use with my daughter!
We have a very similar model and love it! Agree 100%
This is great! video is real cute too. I hope new parents will learn of this before they buy a car seat
Great video! I’m looking to switch to a bigger carseat for my 7 month old baby girl. Thanks for the review!
Love those kids! Great review. Thank you for sharing.
It’s so easy, you’re not kidding. What a great addition to available products out there!
When it time to switch our car seat I’ll keep everything you said mind.
That’s a perfectly wonderful car seat. And hurrah for easy!! My favorite part after safety. 🙂
Car seat safety is so important! This is so easy!
We will be shopping for a front facing car seat very soon – which is crazy because it seems like yesterday when I brought the baby home. This one is very easy!
Pretty catchy phrase, got it stuck in my head now; click, click, push!
It’s great that the car seat is so easy to use! I think that definitely makes it safer.
What cuties! This is so cool. I’m down to one booster now, I wish they’d had these back in the day!
Wow car seats have changed. What a cute video…adorable 🙂
So important to have a great carseat! I have an Evenflo one and I LOVE ours!
This would have been a good car seat to have!The kiddos are too cute “click click push!!”
heheh
Thanks for sharing! That sure would save money instead of having to buy new seats as they grow. I love convertible things.
