Evenflo Embrace Infant Car Seat

I just love my evenflo embrace. It is soooo easy to carry and use. It is lightweight and I love the Z handle. It snaps into and out of the base easily and onto any evenflo stroller as well as some others like Graco too to make it a travel system. The padding is thick and soft and my baby always falls right to sleep. Don't panic on the recall. It is for models made prior to April 2004 and it was because the handle slipped and they make a repair kit for it now. The car seat itself is rated one of the highest for safety in crash tests. A must have!!! I love it!!!

Evenflo embrace infant car seat is one of the best infant carriers on the market. The patented Z shaped handled make it comfortable and easy for any parent to carry. It easily snaps in and out of it's base as well as any evenflo strollers with a tray. There is lots of padding to hug your little one in comfort and the straps are very easy to adjust. It is also much lighter than most infant car seats. The recalls are prior to April 2006 and affect only the safety of the handle, not the function or safety of the car seat itself. A must have for your baby registry.

I bought this carseat mainly because it was cute and from the website (Target.com) it looked sturdy. But don't be a sucker! It is cute but there are so many problems with it. The canopy dosen't stay up, the fabric fades quickly, the cover is too tight therefore it tore. I called evenflo and they sent me another cover and low and behold it did the same thing. The handle is VERY UNSTURDY and the adjustable height base broke. I have filed a complaint with the department of consumer carseat recalls. And found out there is an open investigaion on this seat pending recall status. I cintacted evenflo and they are sending me out a new carseat in the port a bout model. Check the target.com reviews of this seat - I wish I had before buying it!!!

Buyers and sellers should be aware that Evenflo has placed a recall on this item, for safety reasons having to do with the carrying handle. Apparently the carrying handle is prone to breaking away, causing the carrier to fall and tip forward, possibly causing baby to injure their little noggins. http://babyproducts.about.com/​b/2007/05/10/evenflo-embrace-i​nfant-car-seat-recalled.htm
A repair kit is available. Which is why I still bought it. But if I get something else at the shower, I'm probably going to use that.

This is by far the best car seat on the market. It is lightweight and so comfy.
It snaps easily into the base and onto most strollers especially evenflo. The recalls are before 4/07 so if you bought a seat after that, you don't have to worry. I had this installed by a professional car seat installer and they said it was one of the better infant seats. And so affordable!!!
