Honestly, I think the only difference between the one you posted and the ETA is the harness on the ETA slides up and down instead of you needing to move the straps. The sliding harness is the reason I wouldn't buy the ETA. I know they go through massive testing but I worry about the harness sliding out of place in a crash. But then again, I'm the one that still won't use a base with an infant seat because I knew someone 13ish years ago that had a seat ejected from the base during a crash. The baby wasn't in the seat and he can't say for sure whether the seat was latched in or just sitting there but I wasn't willing to risk it even though I think everyone else on earth uses the base!

VERY similar to the ones we have... The ones we have we side impact tested though... I didnt see that on this one... maybe I overlooked it. AND It's only to 50 lbs... you have to take that into consideration... that means you cant use it for a booster. But the price is AWESOME!

Looks good! The cupholder on the EFTA does suck. We stuck the one from our Scenera on in and it fit though. Just make sure you get it checked/installed by a tech. If it's anything like the EFTA was in our car it's such a pain. Hopefully you never have to switch cars with it.

Tracy, there's no way the straps would slide like that in a crash. If they're tightened properly and there's no slack, there's no way they are going to move. It's hard to explain and picture, but when ds is in the seat I can see how it's not possible. I can't even move them myself once he's strapped in.

The difference between the Titan Elite and the Triumph Advance is that the Advance will last you twice the time............the Titan has a short shell and is outgrown rear facing at like 20 months and forward facing at the age of 3 the advance will usually last you longer Rearfacing (length wise ) and forward facing usually to the age or 5
