I was never much of a techie when it came to new things; however, after I started my blog and got to review several baby and kid friendly products, I became more interested in learning about the in’s and out’s of products.  I also became a more picky consumer as I got to try out competing products to see which ones really stepped up in quality, safety and appeal.  However, if you want to truly put a product through a real test, give it to your child. Their reaction and honest comments (if they’re old enough to speak) is really all you need to hear as a parent. Children don’t care how much something costs or what it looks like, just how it makes them feel (i.e. happy or sad, comfortable or not).

Evenflo Platinum Symphony DLX

As an Evenflo ambassador, my family and I get to test out several of Evenflo’s car seats.  I’ve already written about the Evenflo Symphony All-In-One car seat and how much we loved it for our younger son when we transitioned him out of the bucket seat.  We love the car seat and all of its features so much that I couldn’t imagine that Evenflo could put out a better seat, yet somehow, they did.  We recently tested out Evenflo’s new Platinum Symphany DLX all-in-one convertible car seat and we just loved it.  I almost liked it so much that I didn’t want to use it knowing that before long, it will get messy and dirty. Fortunately, one of the great features is its easy to clean fabric.  Here are some of my other favourite features:

OUTLAST Performance Fabrics – the fabric uses special technology that balances your child’s temperature by absorbing hot and cold temperature, releasing as needed. Living in Canada, the winters tend to be cold and the summers tend to get hot and muggy (with the exception of this summer). With so many instances of kids getting overheated in cars, its nice to know that this technology will help my son not sweat or stick to the car seat on hot summer days.  It’s also nice to know that in the winter, when I have to remove his coat before putting him in the car seat, the fabric will help warm him up quickly.  This feature is truly priceless and gives parents a piece of mind on extreme weather days.

Buckle Pockets – This is such a “nice-to-have” feature that I think all future car seats will come standard with.  How many times have you fussed over the buckle seat to either get it behind your child or to untwist it, etc…?  The buckle pocket is a solution for all of those annoyances with car seat buckles.  The side pockets are so small but hold your buckle perfectly while you put your child in.  No more fussing, struggling or losing your mind. On hot days, it also ensures that the hot belt metal doesn’t touch your child’s skin.

SureLATCH Technology – while the latch technology on the previous Evenflo car seat was already easy enough to use, this one is even EASIER!  Within a minute you can install your car seat, safely and securely and within minutes, you can take it out.  In the past week alone we had to take it in and out for two different instances.  It was so easy, even I could do it. Click the latch into your car and push down to hear and feel the seat auto tighten.

While the car seat is a bit bulky and heavy, all of the other great safety and simplifying features make this the car seat you should buy.  Did I mention that it comes with pre-installed cup holders? Love this feature when it’s an add-on for most other car seats. The Evenflo Platinum all-in-one car seat can be used for your newborn up to a booster seat (5-110 lbs).  So if you’re looking for an economical, high-end, all-in-one car seat, make this the one you get!

What Others Are Saying:

    So many things to like about this car seat. I love that it will last for so long as your child grows. and the buckle pockets look great — I haven’t seen that feature before!

  16. Journeys of The Zoo says

    I like that it’s good up to 110lbs. That is really impressive. I plan on keeping my kids in theirs for as long as possible and this would add a few years to our existing one.

    I’ve had two evenflow carseats and was really happy with them super comfortable and durable!

  20. Ruth2Day says

    Wow, car seats have certainly changed since I had one, quite a number of years ago now. I love the photo of your son, high-tech indeed

  27. homewithaneta says

    I have this seat and am so in love with it. Out of your faves I for sure choose the SherAton technology. I also love that I can easily use this for all 3 kids interchangably. 110 lbs great max weight

  28. Bailey Dexter says

    I really like the SureLATCH Technology that within a minute you can install the car seat, safely& securely in a few minutes. The is great when you have to get a ride from different people, like Nana or a friend who don’t always have car seats!

  33. Jennifer P. says

    The SureLATCH Technology is my favourite improved feature mentioned in your post. We have a tandem garage where the cars get parked front to back, not side by side, so being able to easily move the car seat from one car to the other e.g. to whichever one is closest to the garage door when we’ve switched car / garage positions, is a huge priority for us.

  37. Jodi Mitrovic says

    What a great carseat! I love all the features but especially the buckle pockets! So smart!

  41. Marianne says

    The buckle pockets sounds great. We have a symphony right now that my 4 year old uses forward facing — and digging around looking for the buckles is one of my peeves.

  47. Mark V. says

    the buckle pockets, I remember how much of a pain it was to try and straighten or move those straps and buckles

  54. Majid Alaei Khanehshir says

    I love the fact that it is up to 110 pounds. That is the best limit I have seen yet

  56. nicolthepickle says

    The sure latch technology is great. What I really like though is the cupholder. No dropped cups on the car floor. Does this make me shallow, that I like the cupholder more than the cool safety stuff?

  63. Melissa says

    I have been researching this car seat for a few weeks and your review was so helpful! I especially like the fabric that helps with the baby being too hot!

  64. Alayne Langford says

    The easy clean fabric and those lovely buckle pockets sold me! Wonderful advanced product!! 🙂
