Pros: *Adjustable design saves money
*Quick latch system easy to use
*Stylish Cons: *Tight fit in smaller cars
*No "removable carrier" for infants
We purchased our Alpha Omega about a month ago, when our old car seat/ infant carrier became to small for little 5 month old Matthew, and although we weren't disappointed, we weren't exactly enchanted either. Although the seat's safety features are ...

Pros: Good 3 in 1, comfortable, easy to convert and adjust, 5 point harness. Cons: Straps twist (does not bother me if your careful), large for rear-facing.
I spent a lot of time searching for the best infant car seat for my first child, I did not for my st ...

Pros: Safe, well padded, birth to 80 pounds Cons: Straps!
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I researched the consumer reports to find the safest car seat. At that time, the safest one was the Alpha Omega when used with the harness. I liked the fact that it is a 5 point restraint system, goes from 7 pounds...

Pros: The seat is attractive, durable, easy to use and age-adaptable. Cons: Not ideal for babies under 9 months.
After months of research, I chose the Alpha Omega 5 point harness model because of it's excellent reputation and price. I had read that the 5 point harness was much safer than the T-bar so I knew that was a must and the Alpha Omega comes in both styles...

Pros: Easy to use Cons: Over head Shield breaks at pivot point
While I have heard multiple people say how easy these seats are to use, I caution you, constantly check the arm where it swings down. Check it often because a lot of these seats are breaking and cracking. If you look at the arm and the plastic is...

Pros: 5 point harness system, fits babies of all sizes Cons: expensive, big and bulky
As my daughter was growing out of her infant carrier seat, I researched which car seat to buy next. I liked the idea that the Costco Alpha Omega would be the only car seat we'll need from now on. It goes from an infant seat (rear facing to 35 pounds!),...

Pros: Baby sits high. Seat is versatile. Cons: Straps twisting!
I bought this seat because it was recommended to me by an Emergency Medical Technician. He said it was one of the safer models out there because your child can be quite heavy and still be rear-facing. This was enough to convince me to buy the seat for...

Pros: Very comfortable and sturdy. Can be used for air travel. Cons: Rear facing, reclined position is difficult. This can be a problem in some vehicles.
This car seat has to be one of the most recommended car seats available for the money. It is designed to be used for both car and air travel, which is a nice feature. The seat is well padded providing good comfort for your child. Once my son reached 20...

Pros: more than I can mention Cons: might not fit in every car, it's kind of large
We purchased this carseat a few days ago after hours of research and testing out various seats at a few stores. We bought the 5 point harness model, not the overhead shield model though. It appears to be comfortable and has nice cushioning. It keeps...

Pros: goes up to 80 lbs. Cons: too big to fit in car and move around
We bought this car seat as our third car seat. The most alluring aspect was that it would fit the baby from 5 lbs. to 80 lbs. The new California law requires kids to be in a car seat or booster up to 80 lbs.
But so far, we're not that happy...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to install, comfortable for the baby. Cons: You may need to get an extension for your seatbelt.
As you may know, I have twin 14 month old boys. I purchased this car seat when I was still pregnant with the boys. My husband drooled over the seat over its sleek design and its race car style seat belt. I liked the seat because it seemed comfortable...

Pros: No puzzle buckle; comfortable; recline settings; LATCH install; grows with child; cushions included; price. Cons: Difficult to install for one person, remove cover, get correct recline; belt buckle under seat.
We bought a Cosco Alpha Omega Elite 22155 model when my daughter grew too big for her infant seat a few months ago. I had read many reviews and this one was rated the best and had the features I wanted for a good price (I got it on sale). It was hard to ...

Pros: Ease in installation and adjustments Cons: Fabric difficult to remove
As you can tell I love this car seat. My husband and I purchased this seat about a year ago, after a lot of talking him into it by me. His concern was the price, but I showed him how this car seat is really three car seats in one and he now loves...

Pros: 5point, easy latch harness and easily adjustable straps Cons: recline positions
We recently purchased a Cosco Alpha Omega carseat after our daughter outgrew her carseat carrier at four months. What initially attracted me to this model was the fact that it covered a wide range of stages. Therefore, through this child and future...

Pros: Never buy another car seat! Very sturdy and comfortable.Never rethread the harness. Easily adjusted.Easy installation Cons: Has a wide base, but it can be removed.
The alpha omega is a great seat for the money. There are pros and cons with it just like any other. The base is very wide, and sometimes will cover the seat belt recepticles for the seat, and the person sitting next to it. The base does come off, and...
