We bought 2 of these seats for our twins for our secondary vehicle. We have Evenflo Triumph Advance DLX seats in our primary family car (2008 RAV4) and are incredibly happy with them. We just couldn't justify the expense of having a second set in a car the twins won't travel in very often at all. Needless to say we were happy to see that these were inexpensive and rated highly for safety. Due to recent research, we intend to keep our seats rear-facing for as long as possible.
Please note that these seats only have two positions! This is the key that makes them unsuitable for rear-facing in a small car. They recline so far in rear-facing position that they will not fit without the driver's seat being pushed too far forward. The intended car is a 2010 Kia SOUL. Since it's a brand new model, most people aren't familiar with how much room is packed in this small car. I am 6'2" tall and, with the driver's seat all the way back, can sit behind it and still not have my knees touch the back of the seat. It's very roomy for a small car. I was able to install our Evenflo seats in the SOUL and put the driver's seat back all but about half an inch.
We didn't have an opportunity to test the seats forward-facing. I will say that readying the seats for installation was certainly more difficult than the Evenflo Triumph, but that was to be expected at this price point. Once to that point, installing the seats in the car wouldn't have been much more difficult since we have LATCH in both vehicles.
Ultimately, since we need the second set of seats and haven't found another quality, inexpensive seat, we're finding the money to purchas the LX version of the Triumph Advance seats.
