Evenflo Recalls 60,000 Child Car Seats Over Defect That Could Increase Injury Risk in a Crash

Evenflo announced a recall of about 60,000 REO Revolve360 child car seats.

The company says the headrest could move unexpectedly in a crash.

Owners should check their model and follow Evenflo’s official updates.

Evenflo has announced a safety recall for approximately 60,000 REO Revolve360 child car seats after a safety test found that the affected models did not meet federal protection standards for child restraint systems.

The company said the issue involves the headrest, which could move unexpectedly in a crash. That movement could increase the risk of injury to a child restrained in the seat.

The recall covers several versions sold under the REO Revolve360 line, a rotating model used by families because it can make it easier to place children in and remove them from a vehicle.

Evenflo said it was working on a corrective measure and would keep owners informed as the process moves forward. The company said it would keep owners informed as the process moves forward.

Models included in the recall

The affected REO Revolve360 models are identified as Nantucket, Dancers, Chelsea, Holden, Brookline and Lenox.

Owners are advised to carefully inspect the label on their seat to determine whether their model is included before continuing to use it.

The listed product and serial identifiers are REO-Nantucket (CS260212537), REO-Dancers (CS260212538), REO-Chelsea (CS260212539), REO-Holden (CS260212536), REO-Brookline (CS260212521) and REO-Lenox (CS260212522).

The recall followed technical assessments that concluded the headrest’s behavior under certain impact conditions did not satisfy federal requirements for child restraint systems.

Evenflo says some out-of-pocket expenses may be reimbursed after the recall

While it develops a permanent solution, Evenflo said it will reimburse consumers who paid out of pocket to correct the issue between January 1, 2025, and August 1, 2026.

The company said the reimbursement plan is part of the measures intended to assist affected owners while an official repair is developed. Initial notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning August 17 and will provide information about the identified risk and the steps consumers should take.

Once a technical remedy is available, Evenflo said it will send a second notice with instructions for obtaining the repair at no cost to owners of affected seats.

What parents with a REO Revolve360 should do now

Families with one of these models should check the seat’s identification number and watch for official communications from the company in the coming weeks.

They should also keep purchase documents and receipts for any repair-related expenses, as those records may be needed for a reimbursement request under Evenflo’s announced program.

The Evenflo recall also highlights why registering a child car seat at the time of purchase matters: registration can help manufacturers contact consumers quickly when a safety problem arises.

Until the final solution is published, owners should follow the manufacturer’s official directions and check recall updates regularly for next steps, according to Evenflo and 1011 Now.
