This car seat is a large quality convertible type that is similar in size to the Britax Marathon (which I also own). That's a plus if you have the room but a minus for airline travel or want to install it in a standard sized car - especially rear facing.
The best thing going for this seat is the price for features. It is a much better value than the Marathon but if I had to choose, based on all attributes, I'd rather have another Marathon regardless of how a leading consumer magazine rated Marathon vs. the Triumph.
After using it for almost two years now, we've had two issues with the Triumph. These apparently are common complaints.
1) The front facing tether strap was 8.5 inches too short to reach the second row anchor point in our 2003 Honda Odyssey (the third row point is even further). This resulted in purchasing an Evenflo tether extension at $6.75 plus $8 for 2-3 week shipping. It does reach in another newer vehicle, as it has a different anchor point. Try it for fit in your vehicle, front facing, as soon as you get it. I've heard a rumor that if you call Evenflo in the first 90 days they may be more willing to help then if you wait. Note: I did not have this problem with Graco or Britax in the same vehicle. Seems to be an Evenflo issue.
2) The harness straps twist and get turned over frequently, almost every time.
I love the harness strap adjustment system but it does mean that you cannot remove the straps for cleaning. Some people taking our child out of the seat don't like the harness tension knob system because of the way the release lever works (it can be hard to push and hold down while loosening the harness straps). I don't mind it and I think it was easier during the time we used the seat in rear facing set-up over the ones with a strap between the child's legs.
Lastly, the LATCH harness gets tightened at funny angle which makes it hard for a proper installation.
So better than the Marathon? Definitely not unless we are talking about price alone but a very good car seat and better value.

We absolutely LOVE this carseat!! This actually is our second one. We have another for my car and replaced the cheapie Cosco Scenera in my husbands car for this because he is now driving with him more and because the weight limit is so much higher on this than most other convertible seats. Like others have said, this carseat is quite large (wide) but we only have one child so this isn't a factor for us. Initially I got the first seat because of the awesome feedbacks and ratings that were equal to the costly Britax. We do have problems with the straps twisting every once in a while but it's an quick and easy fix. My son loves his seat so much that before we put this new one in the car it sat in our living room and served as his 'easy chair' for a few days because he didn't want to part with it!

We have this seat in the Lincoln color - dark grey and black - because it was available at our local BrU. So far, we love it. We brought our daughter home from the hospital in it, with her weighing just over 6 lbs. The infant head support did a sufficiently good job of supporting her neck until she was able to develop muscles on her own. This is definitely a much more advanced seat than the one I used 10 years ago for my son, the Graco Alpha Omega which was rated #1 by Consumer Reports at the time. Plan on taking some time to read the owner's manual and going through the pages with the seat in front of you. While you *could* just clip the seat into your car/truck/suv without possible problems, there are many tips and suggestions in the manual that made the process easier. Without the manual, I would have been cursing and tempted to take the seat back.
Adjusting the seat to a tiny baby facing backwards was not difficult but did take a few steps. This is not a negative in my opinion. It reassured me that everything was where it needed to be and that the fit was right, rather than a preset that you may or may not be able to make slight adjustments to. The only complaint I have about this seat is that the lever to loosen the belts is VERY tight. I have to brace myself with my knee on the seat, lift up the seat with one hand to release the pressure and then push down hard on the lever with the other hand. Again, this is not entirely bad as it is reassuring that the belts will not slip but the mechanism could be a bit easier.
So far, we have only used this seat in the infant, rear-facing position. We are very confident that it will protect our daughter should it need to do it's job. It is heavy. It is not a seat that you want to buy for daily swaps between vehicles. I do not know if it fits in the flex-use stroller bases because we just skipped the infant seat altogether and this seat has an attached, flat-bottom base.
I do like that there is a level that is easily seen from both sides of the seat.
We have already taken off the seat cover once to wash it when we sprung a leak. It was not difficult at all to remove the seat cover and then to put everything back together. I was very impressed with how intuitive it was to "reassemble" the seat.
We would definitely buy this seat again, especially since Consumer Reports listed it again on their top convertible list.

We were going to get a Britax model but went with this model after reading the Consumer Reports review. I'm sure Britax lives up to its name but I wanted to see if I could find a comparable seat for less and I think I was successful.
The positive Consumer Reports review gave me the peace of mind I was looking for.

Good quality car seat. I found that for a younger baby, it can be difficult to tranfer from carrier to car seat and back (especially during the winter or bad whether). I ended up borrowing a car seat with it's own detachable carrier to make things easier until my son is older. In the mean time, this car seat sits in his room on the floor and he can sit in it and watch me when I need to work on activities there.
