We previously reviewed the Evenflo Tribute 5 Baby Car Seat, awarding it 5 stars.
Another popular Evenflo baby car seat is a larger version of the Evenflo Tribute 5 Convertible Baby Car Seat
. The Evenflo Triumph DLX Convertible Baby Car Seat can be thought of as its big brother. It is wider than the Tribute 5, and may not fit smaller vehicles, especially if positioned in the middle seat, where it can extend out over both side seats. The side and head padding is very supportive, and can be easily removed and machine washed. The Evenflo Triumph DLX features a modern looking design, with a blue color scheme that should complement most vehicle interiors.
Features
- New Easy-off pad
- BuckleRight Buckle gives visual verification buckle is secure
- Rear-facing for children 5-30 lbs, Forward-facing for children 20-40 lbs
Strengths
- Supportive side and head padding
- Removable and machine washable padding
- Includes a cup holder!
Weaknesses
- Larger (wider) than the Evenflo Tribute 5, so check the fit if you have a smaller vehicle
The Evenflo Triumph DLX Convertible Baby Car Seat is available for $140.
If you require the extra size and padding, then the Evenflo Triumph DLX offers great value for money. However, it is nearly 3 times the cost of the Evenflo Tribute 5 and does not offer 3 times the features. For those looking to spend less than 150 dollars, we would seriously consider the Evenflo Tribute 5 Convertible Baby Car Seat, as it offers extremely good value for money.

The Evenflo Tribute 5 Convertible Baby Car Seat represents excellent value for money. At 55 dollars, the Evenflo Tribute provides all of the features and meets all of the safety standards as seats costing 4 to 5 times as much. The seat supports the LATCH system that can be found on newer vehicles. The car seat’s modern design and stylish, neutral color scheme will also complement the interior of any vehicle. The padding is also machine washable.
The only weakness is that is can be time consuming when fitting and removing the seat from a car. However, this will only cause issues if you need to be able to move the seat between mulitple vehicles.
Features
- Two-Position Recline
- Adjustable Harness and Safety Bar
- Removable Machine Washable Pad
- Rear-facing 5- 30 lbs and forward-facing 20-40 lbs

This baby car seat is highly recommended for anybody looking to spend less than 150 dollars (it actually can compete with more expensive seats). It represents such great value for money, it could easily be sold for 2 or 3 times as much and still be a best seller.

Convertible baby car seats offer parents a seat that can be used from birth up to when their child is around 40lbs. A convertible car seat can be used in both rear- and forward-facing positions. The rear facing position is used for the about the first 6 months (the seat can lay virtually flat), after which time the seat can be repositioned to forward-facing.
Baby car seats can be one of the hardest purchases to make. All the manufacturers seem to quote the same information, but the seats can vary widely in price.
