Evenflo Revolve360 NHTSA Investigation

NHTSA is investigating the Evenflo Revolve360 carseat for 2 reasons: one is a technical reason related to an interpretation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 on how it needs to be installed (49 CFR 571.213 S5.3.2), and the other is based on six reports of the carseat separating from its base.
None of the Revolve360 models are under recall for either of these matters and the carseats are safe to use following manufacturer instructions. You can read the investigation documents by going to www.nhtsa.gov/recalls. Click on the Car Seats link and enter Evenflo Revolve 360.
And register your Evenflo carseat if you haven’t yet! evenflo.com/re... You will be kept informed if your Evenflo carseat is recalled at any point.

I have a grandbaby that’s five months old. She has sticklers and hates getting in car seats. She screams and cries. I feel sometimes like it’s too tight on her chest. She also has stridors. I have many wrist issues and will be going in for my second surgery to have my wrist taken care of my daughter. Has chronic back pain due to the epidural so we are looking for a rotating convertible car seat for the baby so it’s easier for us to get her in and out, the crotch button has to be not too difficult to push and I’m not really comfortable with the magnetic chest clip. Do you have any suggestions for Car seats? We’ve been doing research for about a week and have came up with nothing. We want to crash safe test car seat when we looked at the flow 360 slim it seemed to be when we turned baby towards us. It was too slanted, please help

@teresasanfilippo6489 The Evenflo Revolve seats will universally be the easiest to use. However, there are 2 other revolving seats to consider: the Baby Jogger City Turn and the Nuna Revv. The Baby Jogger City Turn's unique feature is that as it turns, it brings the seat toward you by about 7"-great for sore backs. It only rotates in the rear-facing position, though. The Nuna Revv turns beautifully, but is nearly twice the price of the others and it maxes out at 40 lbs. both rear- and forward-facing. I can't help you with which ones will be easier to unbuckle because the federal standards require a specific pressure release on them and manufacturers usually are pretty close to each other in that release range. There's a tool called the Unbuckle Me (amzn.to/3NIy2GX *Amazon Affiliate Link) that is fabulous and is designed by an occupational therapist. Here's a website where you can compare the rotating carseats: carseatblog.com/56503/rotatingcarseatscomparison.

Thank u for posting this video. I have also been looking for videos where evenflo360 is used on the tesla. I have model 3. And does the forward facing on this car seat work with evenflo gold 360 slim or does it have gap? Does it have a gap? Knowing our headrest is non removable and a little tilt.

[@CarSeatSite]

Yes, the Revolve360 Slim will work in the Model 3. There's a slight gap between the vehicle headrest and the carseat headrest, which is perfect. You can see pics of it in my M3 here: carseatblog.com/52360/evenflo-revolve-360-car-seat-review.

[@chearts7158]

Yes the evenflo revolving 360 SLIM work on model 3 and the model too but rearfacing you have to move the front passage seat foward can still use that seat if you don't mind begin so close to the dash.

[@AT-ly1ci]

Does this involve the evenflo 360 extend as well?

[@CarSeatSite]

Yes, it includes all the Revolve models.
