We rigorously test all of our car seats at 2X the energy levels of the Federal Crash Test Standard. This car seat takes up a lot of space front-to-back when it’s installed in the car. It won’t be the best choice for small backseats or for tall front-seat passengers. This seat is heavy, so some parents may find it difficult to lift it in and out of the car with a growing baby inside.
It would be nice if a swivel base could be developed for rear facing position. This would make placing the child in the seat less time consuming and would be especially nice for inclement weather. Evenflo recommends using the lower LATCH strap in booster mode but prohibits the use of the tether strap. Off the record, I know what their reasoning is and it’s nothing scary or safety-related so don’t overthink this or start rumors about how tethering other products in booster mode must be a bad idea. Just follow the manual in this case and disconnect the tether (store the hook in its storage location) when you are transitioning to booster mode. Just to clarify, you can use the latch strap to secure Revolve 360 in booster mode at any weight.
Amazingly the Evenflo convertible car seat lineup has the same price range as its infant car seats, albeit with slightly lower ratings.

Make sure your installation is tight and confirm that the visual indicator on the LockStrong bar has turned from red to evenflo stroller wagon fully green – indicating that it is securely locked. Just like an infant seat base, it shouldn’t move more than 1″ from side-to-side or from front-to-back when you check for tightness at the beltpath.

I read all the instructions before installing in my car, and it was still hard to know if I was doing it correctly. I also felt there should be a way to know if the seat is in tight enough, so that you are confident it will not move in case of an accident. But I liked that I could get my child in and out fairly quickly.
Squeeze the oblong button on top of the handle, then move the handle into the correct position. Press both handle rotation buttons and rotate the handle into infant carry position (position 2) to move back to the vehicle. I would barely complain if the harness was rated from 5 lbs.
The main portion of the harness covers are referred to as “harness strap pads” and these have a grippy material sewn into the underside of the pads. I flipped it over to photograph the grippy material but I want to be clear that this is the backside of the harness strap pad which will be making contact with your child’s clothing. Pull the seat cover around the shell of the car seat and attach it to the plastic clips.
