Stand Out Features of this Car Seat

LockStrong Arm on the base.

The Evenflo Revolve Slim is easy to install thanks to Evenflo’s LockStrong Arm, found on the base. This mechanism tightens the seatbelt or latch strap to help you get a tight installation effortlessly! If installing with the vehicle seatbelt, you’ll still need to lock the seatbelt as your final installation step — the LockStrong arm doesn’t actually lock the belt for you. But this cool feature does make it super easy to get a rock-solid, tight installation every time!  

It swivels 360 degrees.

This seat swivels in both modes of use. When you install with the seat belt and top tether from the start, you won’t have to change the installation! This is one of the best options for caregivers who want one seat to transport different-sized kiddos because changing from rear to forward-facing mode is so easy.

Anti-Rebound Bar

The base of the Evenflo Revolve Slim has an anti-rebound bar (ARB), an added safety feature that can reduce the secondary movement of the car seat, called rebound, during a crash. When a crash occurs, the car seat will move forward, towards the front of the vehicle, and rotate downward. And as we all know from high school physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction — so after that initial movement, the car seat will rebound, or “bounce back” towards the backrest of the vehicle seat. The ARB minimizes this bounce-back effect, helping limit the car seat movement and your child inside it! ARBs may also limit the side-to-side rotation of the car seat in a side-impact collision. Overall, they’re a great feature to have on a rear-facing car seat!

Seat is good for you if

You want to rear-face as long as possible.

The Evenflo Revolve Slim allows children to ride rear-facing until they’re 50lbs or 48″ tall. That makes it one of the longest-lasting rear-facing car seats on the market! If you have a toddler in the upper height or weight percentiles, or if you simply want to max out the safest way to ride, this seat fulfills that requirement!

You need to fit 3 across.

This seat is narrow enough to work in most 3 across configurations. But when it’s swiveled into a sideways position for loading or unloading, the backrest of the car seat eats into the space of the center seat. Because of this, it can’t usually swivel if it’s installed directly next to another car seat.

You would prefer to have a swivel seat.

Swivel seats are novel and amazingly convenient. If the swivel feature appeals to you, this long-lasting, user-friendly car seat just might be the right choice!

You or your child have a disability.

For families that have difficulty loading their young passengers because of a physical disability, a swivel seat like this one can be a game changer! Parents lifting a disabled child into the car will have an easier time loading when the child’s car seat can face the vehicle door, especially as the child gets bigger and heavier. And, caregivers with any mobility limitations might find it easier to safely load and buckle their young passengers in a swivel seat, too!

From an accessibility standpoint, the Evenflo Revolve Slim stands out from other swivel seat options because it can rotate in rear-facing mode and forward-facing mode. Since many other swivel seats are outgrown earlier and/or only swivel in rear-facing mode, the Revolve line of car seats can be the best fit for any family member with a disability.

Use caution if

c-warning

You have a vehicle with non-removable headrests.

The Evenflo Revolve Slim will work fine rear-facing in most vehicles. But if you have a vehicle that has non-removable headrests, you may have trouble using this seat in the forward-facing and booster modes. 

c-warning

You have a small back seat.

The Evenflo Revolve Slim takes up a good amount of space when it’s in rear-facing mode. It might not fit well if the backseat space is cramped or if the front seat passenger needs to adjust the front seat all the way back. We have fit it in vehicles as small as a Toyota Camry as long as the caregiver wasn’t above average height.

c-warning

Quirks to be aware of

c-question

What happens if my swivel seat gets stuck halfway?!

Uh-oh, you tried to spin your Revolve from rear-facing to forward-facing, and it stops when facing sideways! What now?!

There’s an easy solution! The car seat can turn sideways in any recline setting, but it only rotates to forward-facing when it’s in the maximum recline setting. Return the car seat to its locked rear-facing position, and use the lever on the back to recline it all the way. Now you’ll be able to swivel it into forward-facing mode!

c-question

Lock that swivel seat in place, every single drive.

The Evenflo Revolve Slim must be locked into either the rear or forward-facing position for every ride. It can’t be left facing sideways when the car is moving — even if the car seat is empty! Make sure to always rotate the car seat into place before you hit the road.

Airplane Use

The Evenflo Revolve Slim is an aircraft-approved car seat. But it would be one of our last choices. It’s very heavy and requires 2 different pieces for installation which means more to carry on the plane.

SITS Bottom Line

As long as you have adequate space in the back seat, this is a really cool seat! We love how easy it is to install and how simple it is to change from rear to forward-facing modes. The ability to swivel in both modes makes this a great option for caregivers with children with disabilities or for caregivers who have disabilities themselves!
