Evenflo Embrace LX Infant Car Seat

Date Published: 4/14/08

The Evenflo Embrace LX Infant Car Seat can meet the basic needs of a family looking for a reliable infant car seat without shelling out a lot of dough. While there isn't much to make this infant car seat stand out in an industry crowded with other models, it does have several handy features.

The Evenflo Embrace LX Infant Car Seat is, first and foremost, easy to use. It has a five-point harness, and parents can adjust the carrying handle to a comfortable position. This EZ Carry handle can be set to three different positions and is angled for wrist and arm comfort when carrying. We liked the car seat's generous canopy, and the plush seat padding. However, the fabric padding makes us worry about the reality of keeping it clean. Still, the car seat isn't weighty to carry, and we see that as a benefit.

One of the features we liked best about the Evenflo Embrace LX Infant Car Seat is that it comes with a base that is simple to install and easy to use. The base has a tracking ball that shows when the proper installation angle has been reached. Plus, the base reclines to three different positions and has an indicator to show which position it is in. The car seat snaps into and out of the base without hassle, which isn't always an ease-of-use feature we encounter on other models.

We like the Evenflo Embrace LX Infant Car Seat for its basic, easy-to-use features and adjustable base -- especially because it is offered at a mid-line price.


Pros: Easy to install, easy to use, comes with a base
Cons: Not a lot of extras, padding could be difficult to keep clean



Warranty
1 year, limited
