Anyone have any of these Evenflo Triumph Convertible car seats?
My sis told me Triumph was rated by consumer report as the top convertible car seat. So DH and I went to BRU too check it out and their are 3 different ones. We didnt really see any difference besides color and price. We tried asking a sales rep but they couldn't answer any of our questions. So wanted to know if anyone here has and opinions on. Thanks!

I just posted something similiar. I don't think any of the seats you posted is the one Consumer Reports rated. I'm in the same situation as you. I wanted to buy the one rated top by CR.

Really.. my sister bought hers last years, so maybe she meant it was back then.. unless theres another triumph. What did consumer reports say were the best ones?
I need to get my dd out of infant seat, hates sitting lying back now. Shes constantly trying to sit up straight in it, and afraid she will hurt her neck, pushing against the straps.
eta: i didnt even see your post, im a dope.. Its right there and i missed it.. sorry.

Re: Anyone have any of these Evenflo Triumph Convertible car seats?
I just called Evenflo. 
The Truimpth 5 which was rated top in Consumer Reports, was discontinued the beginning of last summer. It was replaced by the Advance seat. The Advance it similiar to the 5, but also has additional features and has a different "shell" because the height and weight maximums were raised on the Advance model. So it's not really the same seat that was rated. I'm sure it would still be rated excellent, and I'll probably still buy it, but I was looking to buy it because it was rated great, but you can't really do that now, since it's a different seat. The difference in the LX, the DLX and the premier is basically, luxuries such as more padding, pillows and nicer fabric.
I'll probably buy the LX since it's a second seat for DH's car.
HTH!

I have the last one. I don't know what to compare it with, but not a real fan.
The red button digs into his belly.
Even with neck wings his head still slumps when he sleeps(and that is also with a rolled up towel under it)
