What reviewers didn't like

Installed seat wiggles from side to side a bit, but this slight movement has no effect on the seat's federal safety rating.
Rear-facing fit to vehicle with seat belt. - Belt locking clip required for most vehicle belt installlations. - May require a rolled towel for installation at a proper recline angle.
Thin padding, harder to install, lower quality.
The Evenflo Tribute LX is difficult to position snugly; our testers had trouble installing it properly without using a pool noodle or towel. It can also be hard to adjust the straps, and both a low shell height and low top-shoulder-strap slots mean the Tribute is often outgrown early...
The car seat doesn’t offer enough recline adjustment and no cloth guards for harness straps
