If you have the Evenflo Triumph
Do you like it? I got one for my shower, but I'm thinking of returning it. I haven't taken it out of the box yet, but everytime I have been in BRU I have been unable to adjust the straps with the knob on the side. It always seems to be stuck. Do you have problems with the knobs?

Re: If you have the Evenflo Triumph
I loved it at first, and now it annoys the crap out of me  Return it.
Also, my son is 2 and not quite ready for a big boy booster seat, and the shape of the triumph seems so babyish in that he looks squished in it, if that makes sense. It has that round space-ship capsule type shape, which is cute and cozy when they are little, but not for a 2yr old in the 80%tile in height 
Im sure there are other ones in that price range. I love Evenflo so thats why we got it, but the straps are a mess, and its annoying. I do like the recline feature though. Im buying him another one and hopeto find the recline feature.
I have 2 friends that have it also, and we always say to eachother "you have that DAMN THING TOO !???" and when my sister takes my son, and she needs the carseat too, shes like AHHH OH NOOO NOT THAT ONE !!!!!!! 
SHe has a 3-4 yr old Fisher price one that I would pay a million bucks for, its an awesome one that they dont make anymore 
I think I talked ya into returning it, huh?

Re: If you have the Evenflo Triumph
I find the knobs a little annoying too to adjust, but other than that I've liked it and had no problems.
We use it in our second (mostly station) car.

I have to say I loved it until they were over a year 18m or so, and everything goes haywire ITs probably our own fault with the straps, since they try to buckle themselves, and play with them, try to get out of them  I have brought it into the house a few times to fix the straps back to normal.. so I do take the blame for that, lol.
It does have GREAT reviews, and Im a HUGE EVenflo customer

Re: If you have the Evenflo Triumph
I have it and I loved it. The straps and knobs you just have to get used to it because it is different. We've recently put my 2 yr. old in a booster seat because he's too big for it now, but I would definitely buy it again if I had too. It has great safety ratings which is the main reason why I bought it. My son was in that seat since from when he was 4 months old up until last week which would make him 26 months old. It's a great seat!

Re: If you have the Evenflo Triumph
I have the Marathon and the Triumph. I like the Marathon so much better. I think I will like it again when we turn the car seat around because the know digs into the seat in my Honda and it is hard to turn.

im glad to know its not just me that thinks hes too big for it at 2. But I feel like he's too small for a booster. I just put my 3yr old in it around when he turned 3, and he still looks small in it and theyre kinda the same size just about, so I dont know if I should try a booster for the 2yr old too.
I can look for a more secure looking one. some of them seem more snug if thats the right word, for a smaller toddler, vs a 5yr old. does that make sense?
which did you buy for your 2yr old ?

Re: If you have the Evenflo Triumph
I got him the Compass B500. He definitely doesn't look too small. Caiden is also very tall for his age. In January he was already 37 1/4 inches and 34 lbs. For this booster they have to be at least 30 lbs, and 38 inches tall. I really like this booster. I've only had it a 5 days, but it's great.

Re: If you have the Evenflo Triumph
I love this seat, and the part that I love about it the most is the knobs on the side. Mads is 2 years old, but she's a very small 2 year old and is very comfy in it. I wouldn't return it... but it's up to you.
