Even though it’s our Blogiversary, this celebration isn’t about us – it’s about YOU. We know we’re lucky to have so many awesome readers and followers who all care deeply about keeping kids safe in and around motor vehicles. We want to reward you for supporting us throughout these past 6 years and the best reward we could think of was another incredible giveaway promotion!
This week we’ve partnered with our generous friends at Evenflo to offer a fabulous, Platinum SecureKid DLX! This deluxe model offers all of the premium features of the Evenflo SecureKid DLX (“e3” side-impact protection, auto-retracting “SureLATCH” connectors, height-adjustable head support and dual integrated cupholders), plus it features buckle pockets to hold the buckle tongues out of the way when loading/unloading child and it offers Outlast® temperature-regulating fabric to keep kids cool in the sweltering summer heat!
This promotion is now closed. Thank you for participating – a winner will be announced soon!
Platinum SecureKid DLX Specs:
- With 5-point harness: Forward-facing only for kids 22-65 lbs, at least 1 year old, height 28- 50″ tall (shoulders must be at or below top harness slots). *Please keep in mind that the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends that all kids under 24 months ride in a rear-facing carseat. For this reason we recommend this seat for kids who are at least 2 years old.
- As a booster: 40-110 lbs, at least 4 years old, height 43 – 57″ (top of ears must be below the top of CR headrest).
OUTLAST® Performance Fabrics absorb hot and cold temperature, releasing as needed. Outlast® technology, originally developed for NASA, utilizes phase change materials (PCM) that absorb, store and release heat for optimal thermal comfort.
This technology has the ability to:
- Actively absorb and store excess heat, helping to reduce overheating
- Allow the child to stay at a balanced temperature and prevent chilling during the cooler months; if the child’s skin temperature drops, the stored heat is released
- Reduce perspiration so the child stays drier and more comfortable
The thermal image below shows the difference in body temperature after 30 minutes of sitting in the same style carseat – one with OUTLAST® fabric and one with regular fabric. If you live in a warm climate or just have a kid who is a sweatbox – this technology will help keep your kiddo feeling comfortable all year round.
Buckle Pockets have been added to this “Platinum” SecureKid model and that’s a major bonus if you hate having to fish the buckle tongues out from underneath your child every time you put them in the seat. They also keep the metal buckle tongues out of direct sunlight when your car is parked which helps to prevent them from heating up to the point where they might actually burn your child as you’re buckling him/her up.
Installation – The SecureKid DLX is super easy to install with the self-ratcheting SuperLATCH connectors which is a real bonus if you move your seats from vehicle-to-vehicle frequently. For more details please see our full review of the Platinum SecureKid DLX here. We think highly of the Evenflo SecureKid and it’s on our list of Recommended Seats.

The outlast tech and the style
Outlast Performance Fabric.
I was planning to get this soon for my son!
The colors are perfect for mom or dads car!!
This would be perfect for my daughter!
Sweet! We have the Evenflo Symphony and it rocks. Our favorite thing is the self-ratcheting connectors. You just put your knee in the carseat, lean in and wiggle, and presto! the carseat is in securely with no pulling on straps. This would be perfect for us as we have one child turning 4, and another that will be a year old. Our youngest will need the Symphony and it makes sense to move our 4 year old into something like this.
I like the Outlast® technology for my daughter’s comfort.
Perfect for my kindergartener
This would be perfect for my daughter! She’s going to need another Combo seat.
My son would love, Love, LOVE this car seat!! It looks like the lazyboy recliners of car seats!! 🙂 🙂
I love that the OUTLAST Performance Fabric will help keep my nephew cool.
I love the performance fabrics!
I love that the fabric helps regulate temperature. I have two children that are very heat sensitive. Thanks for the chance

I like the outlast technology and that it turns into a booster seat later.
I see it has some good reviews from retail sites
Perfect for my daughter. Looks more secure then what we have now!
This would be the perfect seat for us!
Wow…looks like a great seat!
I love that it keeps the buckles from getting too hot, and keeps them up out of the seat. I hate fishing for buckles!
I love the OUTLAST® Performance Fabrics – I love that it will help my little one stay comfortable in different weather conditions while in their seat.
This would be perfect for my son!
These seats are great! I have an older version and love it. I could really use another for second child!
I love the OUTLAST® Performance Fabric. Would love to win this for my daughter.
