I have 2 of them for my twins. No cons for me. I love them. Very easy to buckle and unbuckle for the parent. The straps adjust very easily. i also have to Safety first car seats and they are not very user friendly. I love the Symphony's

The straps never got tangled on me. Things that I have learned about this seat since buying it. ..

it doesn't last much past two for rear facing and in some cases it won't last until two if you have a long torso'ed kid because you can only use the headrest in the two bottom most positions and there has to be 1" above their head.

You won't get much past 39"/40" standing height forward facing with harnesses. Even less if you have a long torso'ed kid because the straps only go up so high. Once they're on the highest click the seat is outgrown with harnesses. You'd have to switch to booster mode and 99% of kids wouldn't be ready yet (to young)

Once in booster mode the seat doesn't always position the belt correctly (on hips not stomach, across chest not cutting into the neck)

That being said. I had it for my son. He outgrew RF at 26 months and almost outgrew FF at 3.5 years old.

Have 2 of these as well and I love them. They are extremely easy to install, straps never get tangled and they are very easy to buckle and adjust!

Re: Evenflo Symphony LX Convertible Car Seat

the cons will be if it fits your car properly - again what car and year do you have?

I have it, but have yet to install it, so I can't really give much of an opinion. But I will say it looks very roomy and comfortable. We have it by the door ready to go into the car we're buying once we get it home, and dd likes to go and sit in it like its an arm chair.
