Title: DANGER - Straps Don't Lock
Review: After reviewing hundreds of comments and reading about the Triumph 5 ratings in two publications including Consumer Reports I went shopping and tried my daughter, now 7 months, in my top picks. I decided on the Triumph 5. I read the instructions and was ready to place my daughter in the seat to adjust the straps and recline to best fit her before installing the seat in the car. I placed her in the seat and buckled her in and then began turning the knobs to adjust the belts and much to my HORROR when it was just right I stopped turning the knobs and pulled the straps to make sure they were snug and the straps just pulled right out of the seat HAVING NEVER LOCKED into place. The seat was manufactured Sept 04, 2003. Evenflo stated that every car seat is tested before being shipped which scares me even more that this has happened. They also stated it will be 2-3 weeks before I can get a replacement.
Is the review positive or negative?
