Pros: Reasonable price, recommended by hospital staff, 5-point harness, and economical convertibility. Cons: Not much room for front seat if carseat is rear-facing and reclined (for infants).
UPDATE: (July 13, 2005) Can you believe it??? We are still using the Cosco Alpha Omega car seats we purchased five years ago! Since the twins, we had another little daughter who is now using one of the seats, and another baby daughter ...
Pros: Its a 3 stage car seat. Cons: Its a pain in the rear.
Cosco Alpha Omega Convertible Car Seat 02-3
I figured it was about time I wrote a car seat review. I have read quite a few reviews on car seats in my time-some good some bad. Some of the best writers have written reviews on this seat. I...
Pros: Adjustable harness; Accommodates kids of many sizes Cons: Not good for the very young; Doesn't double as a carrier
Being a new dad has brought with it the opportunity to shop for, and evaluate, many different products I never imagined myself needing or buying. I now find myself walking up and down the baby aisles in stores, visiting departments that I once only ...
Pros: Harness height adjusts without re-threading, reclines, well-padded Cons: Won't fit small babies or tall kids, expensive
Back by popular demand - another car seat review by Dr_Steph. :)
Well, I've done it. I've purged our house of all the old beat-up hand-me-down car seats that we had lying around. Time to check out what else is on the market. Although I...
Pros: convertible, 5-80 lbs weight limit, five point harness system Cons: doesn't fit well in smaller cars, our model has an overhead shield
Since this was written, I realized that I made at least one major mistake... I am correcting the part of the review about the five point harness. Thank you to those who alerted me of this problem.
When we were in the market for car seats, we...
Pros: 5-point harness system, easy to use, easy to clean, grows w/ your child Cons: price keep you from getting this car seat
The Cosco Alpha Omega car seat has been an overall great investment as far as safety and quality are concerned. I am expecting our second child in August and there for needed another car seat for either my daughter or my soon to be born son.
...
Pros: Stylish design, easy shoulder harness adjustment, 5-pt belt Cons: Useless recline, harness tensioning strap binds, twisty harness. Sold it after 2.5 years.
I purchased my Alpha Omega car seat at Walmart in Canada in August 2001 when our first daughter outgrew her infant seat. WHY WE BOUGHT IT 1. Limited opportunity to compare with other products: Frankly, in our geographic location, ...
Pros: Rear facing up to 35 pounds; sturdy: steel-reinforced back; holds up well under heavy use. Cons: Seat belt can be difficult to tighten; Seat belt positioning is not the safest.
A year ago (december 2000) we purchased a COSCO Alpha-Omega convertible car seat for our daughter, who had just turned one. We bought the seat after looking at at least two dozen different models in several stores. Many car seats seemed decent, but...
Pros: Matches interior of vehicles and looks very nice, NOT plaid! Cons: Very large for rear-facing infant seat, not large enough for tall toddlers, price
This seat is for rear-facing 5-35 pounds, front facing 20-40 pounds and up to 40 inches, and belt positioning booster 30-80 pounds and up to 52 inches.
I bought this seat only because I happened to find it on clearance at Walmart for $55. I...
Pros: Car seat can be used for a 5 lb baby to an 85 lb toddler. Cons: Straps twist
No handle to carry baby around
Hard to buckle kids in
I love the fact that this is the last carseat we have to buy for our baby. However, I would NEVER buy it as an infant seat. It's great for my one year old. I installed it rear-facing since that's the safest for baby. Will turn it around when she's...
Pros: Great carseat, easy to adjust straps, can be used from 5 to 70 lbs Cons: none really other than could tilt back a bit more
My husband and I had been looking for a carseat for our son since he is getting to be really big for his infant carrier. We saw the Cosco Alpha Omega at Toys R Us along with other brands and styles and decided on this one since it can be used for a...
Pros: Safe, comfortable, easy to install/adjust and attractive! Cons: somewhat large
*Please note: There seems to be some confusion as to what seat this is. This seat is NOT the Eddie Bauer three in one seat. It is a Cosco Eddie Bauer Alpha Omega in Leather.
I have not written in quite some time, however I feel this seat...
Pros: Easily adjusts, never have to buy another car seat for this child. Cons: It was a little pricey and a bit large.
When I was pregnant with our first child I spent a lot of time on the internet searching for the best baby products. When I found the Cosco Alpha Omega car seat I was a little skeptical since it claimed to safely restrain a 35 lb. child rear facing but...
Pros: Decent price, 5 point harness, convertible, easy to set up Cons: Hard to buckle
The problem with consumer written reviews is that usually the consumer has only had the chance to try one item of the type... and that's a little how I feel. My only other car seat experience is with the infant seat that my daughter just outgrew. Even...
Equipped for both rear-facing and forward-facing travel, this all-in-one car seat comfortably accommodates a child from birth to age eight and beyond....More at Albee Baby
