The Evenflo Tribute LX convertible car seat is just one example of why you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a quality product.

Users say the Evenflo Tribute LX convertible car seat is really easy to install and the Latch system is great.

Evenflo Tribute LX Convertible Car Seat Review:- Cons

Many users complain that the greatest problem with the Evenflo Tribute LX convertible car seat is its lack of padding in the bum area.

They say while this is not an issue for shorter trips about town, this can be a problem if your child spends long amounts of time in the car seat at one time.

A few users also say the car seat does not offer enough head and neck support for sleeping toddlers and several users hate that the harness straps have no comfort pads—however, you can purchase inexpensive pads to put on the straps.

Some think the button to release the harness straps is a bit difficult to press, although others say it is not, and users wish they didn’t have to rethread the harness straps to adjust the harness height—but many seats double and triple the price of the Evenflo Tribute LX convertible car seat also lack a no-rethread harness.

 

Evenflo Tribute LX Convertible Car Seat Review:- Summary

Overall, most users think the Evenflo Tribute LX convertible car seat is a really “good seat,” and is well worth the inexpensive price tag.

However, others make a point of saying the Tribute LX is a good “spare” seat and is not the best for everyday use. They think this is a great seat to buy for the grandparent’s car or the babysitter’s car.

However, it is not possible to find another side impact tested, meets US safety standards, car seat at this price.

For parents on a tight budget who still want to ensure the safety of their child, but who just can’t afford some of the pricier seats, the Evenflo Tribute LX car seat is the way to go.

This seat will allow you to sleep well at night knowing that despite any budget constraints, you still provided a quality car seat for your baby.
