The Safety 1^st Alpha Omega Elite car seat is another seat that your child could hypothetically use from infanthood to age 8! The difference between this seat and many “all-you-ever-need” seats is the price! Available online from prices under $100, up to about $189.00, one must ask why there is such a difference. Some owners have noted that there are differences between the differently priced models of this seat, involving the amount of padding and the materials. When you are purchasing your seat, online or in the store, read the specifications carefully to ensure the model you are buying has everything you want. Some users think the cushion difference is related to color, so consider that as well.

All of the models are basically the same, however. They are LATCH equipped for easy installation. In the rear position some people have a bit of difficulty with leveling the seat, but this is a very normal problem with 3-in-1 seats: all you need is a $1 pool noodle which you can fit underneath the base to get the right angle. Doing this is advised by fire stations and professional car seat installers – you can take your seat down to the fire station if you need help.

The Alpha Omega Elite has an incredible feature that parents just love – the QuickFit harness system. This system allows you to adjust the height of the shoulder straps with just the push of two red buttons above the child’s shoulders. On some seats you need to mess around with rethreading every time your child grows, a different child needs to use the seat, or your child brings out the winter coat! This QuickFit feature adds to safety, because it means that you will always have the perfect strap fit for you child.

Some parents are not satisfied with how securely this seat fits in the car. They feel they have properly installed it, but that it still moves side to side a bit, despite the LATCH system. They say that compared to more expensive brands, it is much looser. If you still want to buy this seat, and are concerned about the tightness, just take the seat to the fire station and they will install it properly for you. The seat has passed all safety regulations, so is safe.
