Review on 🌸 Evenflo SureRide DLX Convertible Car Seat in Sugar Plum: Safety and Comfort in Style by Rebecca Bourassa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

. it's lightweight compared to our Grace 4Ever (which I love for everyday use)

I bought this car seat for travel as compared to our Grace 4Ever (which I love for love everyday use) is easier to use). use). It's a bit ugly, I thought when I first opened it (Sugar Plum fabric) but when I saw that it had to be carried on the back I was over it. We also used it on the plane. We just had to tilt the seat a bit and put a jacket or something behind it; otherwise the child would sit too upright. A couple of issues I had with this car seat: When I first flipped the leg (for rear facing or forward facing), it took quite a while to figure out how to close it again. . I kept pushing and pulling according to the instructions, but I misinterpreted them. You literally have to spread the plastic sides and put your foot back in. But once I figured it out, it was very easy! I had another problem with tightening the strap. I have a toddler so I don't use it for baby settings. Babies require less slack in the webbing, so attach the webbing with loops to the rear anchor, not quite to the end of the webbing, but a few inches higher. Because this part of the harness is thicker depending on your child's side, you may get caught in the gaps on your back when tightening the harness. My solution was to manually pull the straps out from behind the seat and then pull the strap. Now it's easy because he's sitting face back. If it's facing forward, I'm not sure I'll have enough clearance between the back of the car seat and the car seat itself to do that. The seat is also fairly deep, or rather, the sides are raised, so you'll have to maneuver a little to reverse your son in and out (in a sedan with some headroom).

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
