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... more
Pros
Adjustable harness; Accommodates kids of many sizes
Cons
Not good for the very young; Doesn't double as a carrier
Bottomline
This seat does offer some very attractive features, but it isn't practical as a seat for infants in spite of the manufacturers claims.

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... more
Pros
Its a 3 stage car seat.
Cons
Its a pain in the rear.
Bottomline
"Grow With Me" products are popular, but not all are are created equal. Skip this one-buy three seats for each stage.

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).
Bottomline
This is an excellent carseat! Recommended by SLC Children's Primary Hospital.

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... more
Pros
Harness height adjusts without re-threading, reclines, well-padded

Won't fit small babies or tall kids, expensive

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... more
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
Bottomline
While the Alpha Omega has good features, I recommend going for one without an overhead shield.

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... more
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.
Bottomline
I wish manufacturers would make product that does not require modifications or compromises. However, due to the lack of a flawless car seat, Alpha-Omega is still one of the best.

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,... more
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.
Bottomline
I think the seat is poor value when you consider it's real functionality rather than it's advertised functionality.

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... more
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
Bottomline
Buy it for an older child. It's the only carseat you'll need.
