Our Review of the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 convertible car seat
- The 2007 Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 Convertible carseat now has Energy Absorbing EPP Foam
The folks at Eddie Bauer came up with a highly versatile convertible car seat that truly grows with your child. With an 80 lbs. maximum weight capacity, the Eddie Bauer 3 - in - 1 may be the only carseat you'll need to buy. The is at first a rear facing infant seat, then a forward-facing toddler seat, and finally a belt-positioning booster . . . all 'in-1'.
Q: What makes the 3-in-1 so exceptional?
A: The ease with which you can adjust the seat features to best fit your child.
Changing the 3-in-1 from an infant car seat to a toddler seat and then to a belt-positioning booster seat requires only the simplest adjustments. When your baby becomes a toddler you?ll need to remove the infant insert and pillow, and as they grow you will need to change the shoulder harness height — which does not require rethreading – but beyond that there really isn't much you'll need to do to get maximum use from your Eddie Bauer 3-in-1.
The Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 car seat is a do-it-all safety seat designed to grow with your children. We?ve been selling them for a while and have received a number of satisfied reviews, and the Eddie Bauer styling isn't too shabby either. The 3-in-1 is one of the first of its kind. There are other convertible carseats available, but none convert to a booster seat.
It is important to note that the maximum harness weight for the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 is 40 lbs. After your child is 40 lbs. or more, the 3-in-1 can only be used with your vehicle?s seat belts as a standard booster seat. The Sunshine Kids Radian 80 and Radian 65 are two recent additions to the convertible carseat category worth investigating. Radian convertible carseats are a bit more expensive, but built on long-lasting aluminum frames – and they're quite narrow and fold up for easy storage.

Loved the seat
Forward Facing?
Comments from The Staff:
Thank you so much for the review! Its generally not recommended to move infants to the forward facing position until they are one year AND 20 pounds. Its always safest to keep them rear facing as long as possible!

converting to a booster
Comments from The Staff:
Hi there! Page 12 of the instruction manual has how to convert and adjust for the booster seat mode. Hope this helps!

How to install
Comments from The Staff:
I'd recommend taking the seat to your local police department or fire station to have a CPS Tech install it - just to be on the safe side.

Stuck with this?
Comments from The Staff:
I'm sorry to hear that you're having so much trouble with your car seat! I'm not sure if you bought the car seat from us, or from another retailer - I'm sure all retailers have similar return policies - products being returned must be in original packaging, with all warranty cards, etc, still with the product. Especially with car seats, we certainly wouldn't take back anything that appeared used, because we wouldn't know for sure whether or not it had been in a crash.
The Eddie Bauer seats are definitely designed to meet a price point, they're not my favorite seats that we sell. They're very versatile, though - which is why we sell them.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Give us a call if we can have the opportunity to ask you a little more about your situation, and recommend something that will work for you!

no good
Comments from The Staff:
Hi there! Wow, I know that Costco (Eddie Bauer) car seats aren't the same quality as some of the higher price point seats, but I've never heard of it taking over a half hour to remove a child from the seat! I'm sorry you were so unhappy with this seat - but I'm glad to see that you found something else that will meet your needs.

Comments from The Staff:
Well, I'm glad your daughter is comfortable in it, at least! When choosing a car seat, the most important things to consider are 1) Does it fit your child, 2) Does it fit your vehicle, 3) Is it easy to use/will you install it properly every time, and 4) Does it fit your budget. If this seat was not easy for you to use, then you should definitely consider something else. I've never heard this complaint about the Eddie Bauer seat - but everyone is different, and if this was difficult for you to use, you should consider something else. If I can offer you any assistance in choosing something more user friendly, please let me know! Thanks! - Christina@NicheRetail.com - Call Center Manager/Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician
