Review on Ultimate Safety and Convenience: Evenflo Platinum Symphony Elite All-In-One Car Seat by Byoung Woon Bak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

When choosing, the focus was on safety. I don’t know if you will understand me, but after I was an eyewitness to an accident in which my parents and grandmother died, and a three-year-old child survived thanks to the chair. I have a special relationship with security. The car overturned, gasoline from the tank flowed towards the smoking engine, and for a long time we could not get the child due to the fact that the petals of the seat belt lock at the child seat were bent. No one had a knife. If it wasn't for the firefighters, I don't know what would have happened. Evenflo has a different design, unlike most models. Based on the experience of this accident, I want to warn you - when installing the seat, tighten the belt as tight as possible. I kneel on the child seat and push it into the seat to remove the backlash. The kid in that car got a compound leg fracture because of that. that the seat was pushed forward on impact. And we did not know that the child was hurt when we tried to release him ((( It's certainly creepy to read. But we sit in the car and think that everything will be fine. No one goes on a trip in the expectation that they will get into an accident right now. Even if you follow the rules, it's not a fact that nothing will happen to you, the culprit of that accident was a drunken idiot from the oncoming lane. I am a supporter of the motto - "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best." By the way, the grandmother in the back seat would most likely have remained alive if she had been fastened. Don't neglect safety. Better to be overdressed than underdressed.

Pros
  • This is the second chair of this brand, the first was - Symphony e3 LX When the second child was born, they bought the Platinum Series. Compared to the e3 LX - more convenient latch mounts - with a ratchet. Slightly faster to install. More pleasant to the touch cover of the chair. Reliable lock that will not jam in an accident. It is easy and not surprising in comparison with other models to be fastened with a seat belt. There are pockets for lock elements (if you like order, then this is for you;), neither you nor the child will get confused when getting into the car. Coasters. Useful not only for bottles and glasses, but also for toys on the road. Backrest tilt adjustment (only at the time of installation). Large range for all ages from 3 to 50 kg. Fastening latch with anchor strap.
Cons
  • Large dimensions, if you put two seats in the back, then the seats in the back seat in the C-class sedan will only be left for a medium-sized bag, the passenger will not fit. But on the other hand, a child in winter clothes is comfortable in a chair. Nothing presses anywhere and does not complain even during a long road. By the way, this was also one of the main criteria for choosing a chair. If you decide to change the inclination - keep in mind that if the chair was strongly attracted to the seat, it will most likely not work to transfer the child to a horizontal position, the back will be pressed against the car seat. And if you did it easily - it means that you have poorly fixed the chair - I'm sorry for your child. Why - read below.
