Evenflo Revolve Slim - Canada

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!

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. 

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!

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.

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. 

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.

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!

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.
