Owners of the Evenflo Serenade, on the whole, seem pleasantly surprised with how easy the Serenad is to use. Evenflo has a patented SureLATCH installation system (similar to other LATCH systems) and parent’s report that installation into any car that has the LATCH hooks really is a breeze.

Another feature that makes life easier is the ‘infinite slide harness adjust’, with which you can adjust the length of the straps from the front. This is great time-saver on those days when your child is bundled up more than usual, or when putting a different child in the seat, or just when your child has unexpectedly grown again!

The fabric on the Serenade (which seems to be available in only one style!) is grey with a nice honeycomb pattern. This is quite a unisex pattern, good for families that think they will use it for more than one baby, because you never know what color the stork will drop off next time around! The soft material is also machine-washable, which for infants who spit-up often is invaluable. Users of the Serenade say that the padding is generous and they feel that even their little babies are comfortable in the seat. The upper rear-facing weight limit of 35lbs is higher than many, and therefore good for parents of babies in the upper height/weight percentiles (children must be rear-facing for at least one year).

Where some companies skimp out or have design flaws – the sunshade/canopy – Evenflo has excelled with the Serenade. The full coverage canopy covers all the way down to the baby’s toes. This may seem like an unimportant feature, but when you are out walking baby in the bright sunshine, or when the wind is whipping around in all directions, it will provide great comfort to you and let baby rest peacefully inside the seat.

So if you are looking for a good first car seat/infant carrier, one that will be good for your baby until 35lbs, and with a high level of comfort and ease of use, do consider the Evenflo Serenade – it is available at a moderate price point, but do remember that you will be buying a second seat next year if you go with this option.
