Evenflo - Revolve360 Slim

I had an infant car seat then switched to rotating convertible at 4m and wish I went with convertible from the start. We never used the infant car seat as a method of transportation if you want to call it that, it always stayed in the car and we just took baby out into stroller or carried her home or baby wore. Our main stroller is the UB vista and our infant car seat was the Chicco key fit and our convertible was evenflo 360.

You can turn them towards yourself to put them in and get them out, but you can't effortlessly turn them from rear- to forward-facing. You have to do a complete reinstall for that (which makes sense since in theory you only need to do it once). We use the Evenflo 360 Slim which is somewhat controversial, but we liked it enough to buy a second. They've revamped the turning system to make it more secure when locked. We really like it, but it's not THAT much better than a regular one. We always turned it for my first child but for some reason I barely turn it with our younger kid. I have found it makes a big difference when my toddler wants to climb in and out on her own, and I think it will make a bigger difference as she gets bigger, since we want to keep her rear-facing as long as possible. They are pretty bulky. We can only fit two carseats in our compact SUV, and we bought separate travel carseats for the plane.

We have 2 cars so are getting 2 (you can just get a base for the 2nd car though). After a lot of research, for our truck we decided on the evenflo360 gold, and for my smaller SUV the Graco 4life DLX.

I have a ford escape! So my car is not that small, and neither is this graco model. Them and the evenflo have a slim version which you should look into though. I know Costco sells the graco DLX so if you have a membership with them you could see how well it fits and then return it if not! I just like this graco model because it has the highest safety ratings and it goes until toddlerhood. Same with the evenflo, but since my husbands truck is tall I wanted a rotating one for his

I have the revolve 360 slim and I love everything about it, but I will say the dang straps get twisted up really easy which is very frustrating to address. It's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong. This did not occur in our Chicco keyfit infant seat.

We have two Evenflor Revolve360, a slim with a quick clean cover and a regular one. Both are great. Very worth it. They can do front and rear facing. Basically, they do every stage of "car seat" except a booster, which is the cheeapest to buy seperately. One reason we wanted these is that they can do rear facing for much longer, especially in terms of weight, than many other carseats can. I think all the Revolve360s go up to 45 or 50 lbs rear facing.

I have the Evenflo 360 slim. Turning is a GAME changer. We love ours. We had a maxicosi infant car seat and then we converted him to the Evenflo. It goes up thru booster and im RELIEVED to not be buying more baby gear hahah! It’s great.

My wife kept injuring her back loading the infant carries in the seat and then again getting them into the non swiveling seat. Between pregnancy stretching out muscles and the two C-sections cutting them they are prone to back problems after. She already had back problems before as well. We got one of the cheaper ones on a deal got it for just under 300$ I think. You don’t need much fancier than that. Evenflow revolve 360 slim. We bought one for her car and then a while later one for mine. We didn’t really think about our first car seat purchases so we ended up buying 7 seats now I think.

Have two of these - one slim and one extend, and I second all of this! Absolute game changer. I don’t think I could ever go back to non-revolving.

We also have the Evenflow 360 with various different models. Agreed, get measurements. When our rear facing seat is installed on the passenger side, the front seat passenger doesn’t have a ton of leg room or ability to recline in our 2010 double cab Tacoma. Our 2024 RAV4 has more space and is more comfortable. Other vehicles we’ve tried them in: 2021 Subaru Outback - decent spacing, comparable to the RAV4. 2023 Cadillac CT5V - plenty of space compared to above. 2021 Jeep Gladiator - very little space. My knees were basically in the dashboard and I had to sit completely upright. This is all from front passenger seat perspective. And if it helps, I’m 5’7” with long legs and Fiancé is 6’1”.

I am a CPST here in the US, so I have an extensive collection of car seats. I do a baseless install with a Nuna pipa, but I just installed the revolve slim today for my 1 year old (he is small) my 4 year old uses a Graco tranzitions and my 6 year old uses a bubble bum inflatable booster. My 4 year old has also used a ride safer travel vest. I’ve seen people manage 3 across with the graco slimfit. I’m not sure what seats you have access to. It’s doable though. My kids haven’t complained about being cramped when we do 3 across. We don’t drive more than 2 hours usually in one direction. If we are doing a longer trip, we drive my large suv.
