Installation Features
Since fine motor skills are not necessary to make an adjustment, this car seat is an exceptional option for caregivers or parents with mobility issues. Parents will also discover it is easier to secure the child since one hand remains free.
Usage Features:
Despite looking as though the harness slides to the very top of the slits, the harness is prevented from reaching the very top by the internal track. The Infinite Slide prevents the harness from going past the last one-half inch. The harness can be loosened easily simply by pushing the grey lever down. The slack from the hips can then be pulled out.
Red tabs are located at the top, sliding in an upward or downward direction. This allows the harness to rest easily on the shoulders of the child. One the child is buckled in, the knob is turned in a counter-clockwise direction.
Evenflo has ensured the position of the crotch buckle can be changed easily. The crotch buckle can be moved simply by twisting the webbing for the buckle. The buckle then slides either backward or forward on the plastic track until the desired position is reached.
Who is the Evenflo Triumph LX Most Suitable for?
The car seat is appropriate for children between five and 65 pounds. Parents can use the Triumph LX safely until the child is approximately two. The weight of the child determines if the rear-facing or forward-facing mode is the most suitable option.
What is Included with the Evenflo Triumph LX?

Evenflo Triumph LX vs Evenflo Symphony
Both of these Evenflo models are convertible car seats, but each offers different benefits and advantages for children and parents. Let’s go through each:
Both the Symphony and Triumph LX provide a rear-facing mode for children between five and 40 pounds. Both models also provide the forward-facing mode for children between 22 and 65 pounds. The difference with the Symphony is the car seat can be converted into a booster seat with a high back for children between 40 and 110 pounds. The Triumph LX also has the capability of being used as a booster without the high back.
Both the Triumph LX and Symphony have been tested for side impact protection. Both models decrease the impact force of the crash a maximum of 50 percent. Additional comfort and safety are provided for the child with either model due to the foam liner capable of absorbing energy. Both car seats have been shown to meet or exceed the standards of the Federal Crash Test for impact.
Uninstalling either of the car seats is easy because both include the quick connector latch. Both models also include the infinite five-point slide harness providing upfront adjustments for the harness, and a multi-position recline. This means the parents will be able to place or remove their child from both models simply and easily.
The child will appreciate the comfort provided by the numerous reclining positions. Both models offer a headrest adjustable with just one hand. Growing children are accommodated to ensure the correct fit. The Symphony and Triumph LX also come with a pillow for the head and body for extra support and comfort. This is extremely important for smaller babies.
Both car seats include a car seat pad parents can safely place in the washing machine. The pad makes cleaning up sticky messes much easier. The cupholders are located on either side of the armrests in both models to ensure the child has easy access to favorite drinks and snacks.
The cost of the Symphony is a little higher than the Triumph LX, although still affordable. It is important to mention the price of both models changes occasionally. The exact pricing is dependent on the specific retailer.
