Initially I Purchased This Seat Just As It Recline

Initially I purchased this seat just as it reclined as I deem this a very good function ,I've now had the seat for nearly 6 months ,my daughter who is 20 months old has in the last few days when I've been driving has managed to get her hands and arms out of the straps even though she has been tightly locked in until the " clicks " can't be heard any more , I've just came back from the store where it was purchased and was told by the lad " it always happens there's not much we can do " some service that you pay a lot of money for child safety but I'm shocked to find out it's happened before , stay away from this seat as my little girl is not strong and no matter how tight I pull the straps she can still get out .

It Takes Faculty Studies And A Lot Of Patience To

It takes faculty studies and a lot of patience to realize how to control the length of the safety belts for Evolva123. The engineers that made that belt desing at Britax must be fired, they are total idiots, not deserving the title of engineer. If I knew when I bought it that I would get really angry because I could not control easily the length of the belts, I would have payed more on something decent. Frankly speaking, pay more to get a lot more!

Buy With Caution - I Was Very Pleased With This Se

BUY WITH CAUTION - I was very pleased with this seat until today. My 16 month baby has managed to unclip the seat and climb out of the seat whilst I was travelling at 70 mph. We have only had the seat 3 weeks. The design of the MAXI COSI TOBI is far superior. The cost is higher, but in my opinion the additional £50 buys you safety.

Great Seat. Easy To Install In My Mini And Very So

great seat. easy to install in my mini and very solid. it takes a few minutes in insall it correctly and tightly but whats a few minutes to keep you little one safe? i have tended to keep it in the reclined posision for long car trips and when baby was smaller but now hes bigger (2.5yrs) hes fine upright. his head is well supported when he falls asleep and he look very comfortible. the harness is very easy to adjust and there are handy harness holders to keep them out of the way when your putting baby in and out. the cup holders are fairly useless as there not really deep enogh to hold a toddler cup but my toddler has found there great for holding his cars!

is great for toddlers indipendence as he can easily climb in and out himself and all i have to do it clip him in or out.

have used for friends son whos 9 as a booster by stowing away the harness. worked very well and he said it is very comfortible, he especially liked the deep head rest so he could relax.

all in all a great seat. (ive even bought a second to use for friends kids when we go out together to save swoping her carseat over). found it much better than my old maxi cosi priori.

I Have This Seat For My Cousin Who I Look After Re

I have this seat for my cousin who i look after regularly, first got it when she was about 10 months old, she is now nearly 2 and a half. Easy to fit the seat into my car, and doesnt move which is great. she never cries or complains about going into her car seat, and can see easily out of the windows without the head rest restricting her view. its a nice wide car seat and will accomodate her up until she is a lot older, as you can take the harness out and use the adult seat belt once she hits 15kg. the harness shoulder pads are great as they are stiff which means she cannot take her arms out whilst travelling!! Would recommend this seat as long as it fits your car, its fab!

I Bought This Seat For Use In An 09 Fiesta. It Was

I bought this seat for use in an 09 Fiesta. It was impossible to fit the seat in such a way that it didn't move. It would move both forward and back and from side to side. It is supposed to be suitable for use with inertia reel belts, but I could not get it to stay secure. I returned the seat to Halfords for them to try and fit it. They couldn't either and blamed it on the leather seats. They refunded our money.

We Chose The Britax Evolva 123 Ultra Val Disere (w

We chose the Britax Evolva 123 Ultra VAL DISERE (which is red, black and grey) car seat for our 9 month old. We did have concerns that he would be too small, but as it goes, I had to adjust the head/shoulder restraints in order to accommodate him. The seat looks great, and it can be fitted in my Peugeot 306 hatchback 5 door in under a minute, and removed in less time once you get the hang of it (recommend watching the DVD included, as it shows the best technique for fitting). Great if you have two cars. The seat has two elastic straps on either side, which hold the harness straps back so you don't have to pull them from behind your child once seated in the car. Also, the five point harness has an indicator which tells you when the harness is tight enough to hold your pride and joy safely. As your child grows, the head support is raised easily, which in turn raises the shoulder straps. Once your child is big enough, the five point harness is removed and your cars three point harness is used to restrain your child.

I would definitely recommend it, as it got our sons approval on his first trip, as he was sleeping within five minutes.

We Wanted A Car Seat That Offered Excellent Side-i

We wanted a car seat that offered excellent side-impact protection, comfortable for our son and also a seat that looks good!

He is a small 3-year old, so he too still uses the 5-point harness. This seat will easily grow with him - the adjustable head support & high wings offering excellent protection. As he grows, the 5-point harness will be stored away (underneath the seat) and the regular seat belt will be used - threaded through the bright red guides in the seat.

The britax Evolva 123 Ultra is not the easiest of seats to fit - in fact it took me a good half hour to sort it out. But, it did come with a DVD installation guide, which I didn't bother to watch until AFTER I had faffed about, and then wished I had watched it first! Due to this, I wouldn't recommend this seat if you need to swap it between cars regularly. We wanted to fit it in the middle seat, but discovered the belt on that seat is slightly shorter than the two side seats, which meant we couldn't have the seat in the recline position, so moved it to one side, and it fits in the recline position perfectly. There is just enough of a recline to allow him to fall asleep without his head lolling forwards - he rests his head on the padded side wings and sleeps comfortably and soundly.

That said, once fixed in the car, it is absolutely rigid. It tightens up well and doesn't move an inch in our Renault Scenic.

This is by far the very best car seat we have tested (and believe me, between Toys R Us and Halfords, we tried nearly every seat on the market!).

Bought This Britax Evolva 123 Ultra Car Seat For O

Bought this Britax Evolva 123 Ultra Car Seat for our 3 year old daughter. She is on the light side so she still needs the harness. The seat fits securely in our Focus Estate, but it was a struggle to work out how the seat belt snakes around the seat at first.

It is not possible to use the recline position without undoing the seat belt, so whilst she is using the harness it is too much of a fiddle to attempt to recline the seat (this would also be a faff if you wanted to move it between vehicles regularly). Not really a problem though, as she seems to be comfortable enough to sleep in the upright position.

We are also a bit concerned that the sides on the head restraints would restrict her vision. Doesn't seem to concern her though.
