My sister is looking at buying an Evenflo symphony for her 8 month old son. Just wondering if anyone has any comments for or against it?? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have this one, I LOVE that it goes from RF to FF to booster, something to be aware of though is the expiry is 6 or 8 years so may not do multiple children right up to booster.
Also, check it out in her car first, it sits up on a base-thing which makes it quite high. My DD had to put up with a couple of bumped heads getting in and out of it while I got used to it (and we have a people mover!) It barely fit in my hatchback, well, it did, but it was really hard for the kids to climb in and out of. I actually love it, the harness adjustment is really easy, it's big but comfy. |

I'm really happy with it. Of all the seats we tried in our (small hatchback) car, this took up the least amount of space rear facing, meaning that I can finally use the glove box in the front again. We're finding it easy to get in and out of - can transfer out of this seat and into cot without waking if fallen asleep.
Covers easily washed - we've already had to put it through the machine after a vomit, and it's come up as good as new. Am pretty sure it lasts 8 years for the harnesses. But, the baby on the move lady said that once you are using it as a booster that it is just used as a seat belt guide and so expiry didn't then matter (something about expiry only being relevant for the straps, if that makes sense??...check this...she spoke so fast, I didn't clarify!) Hope this helps! I say go for it :-) |

We have it, love it, washes vomit etc off really well. Like the padding and put our son in around 6 months old (he's average size) and found it great for long trips versus the capsule at that age. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

We have one for DS and are going to get one for this next one too. I love that they are RF up to 15kgs and that its the only seat they will need! -------------
