Hey parents! If you’ve been considering the Evenflo Revolve360 car seat, you might want to sit down for this. Recently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) kicked off an investigation into this popular car seat model, along with the Revolve360 EXTEND and Revolve360 Slim versions. These car seats, which hit the market back in 2021, are designed to make it easier for parents to get their little ones in and out of the car by rotating the seat. However, concerns have emerged regarding the safety of the child restraint systems and the detachable base.
According to pediatric nurse practitioner and certified child passenger safety technician, Jamie Lewis, “The investigation is mainly focused on how the car seat is installed and issues with the detachable base, not on crash test safety or webbing.” This means that if you’re using one of these seats, it’s vital to ensure that it’s correctly installed.
The NHTSA has been made aware of at least six incidents involving crashes where different Revolve360 models reportedly had issues with their shells. So, what should you do if your child is in one of these car seats? First, double-check the installation to ensure it’s secure.
