If you have an Evenflo rotating car seat installed in the back seat, head out to the driveway and check the label. Evenflo has announced a voluntary recall of REO by Revolve360 car seats sold in Canada and the United States after discovering an issue during laboratory testing.
The recall affects REO car seats with model numbers beginning with CS26021 that were sold between March 2025 and the present, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall does not impact any other Evenflo car seats, including the Revolve180, Revolve360, Revolve360 Extend, or Revolve360 Slim models, according to the manufacturer, and no injuries have been reported.
It might feel frustrating to learn that your car seat is part of a recall, but you can still safely use this seat as long as you follow updated recommendations. Here’s how to know if your seat is affected and what to do next.
Evenflo just recalled REO by Revolve360 car seats due to a headrest issue that could increase the risk of injury in a crash. If you own one of the recalled car seats, it is safe to continue using it by keeping the headrest within the recommended positions (1–9 forward-facing and 1–10 rear-facing). You can check to see if your car seat is affected by finding the model number on the back of the headrest. 
Why are these Evenflo rotating car seats being recalled?
The NHTSA says the issue was discovered during routine safety testing of an Evenflo REO by Revolve360 car seat. During the crash test, the car seat's adjustable headrest had its latch disengage, causing the headrest to shift positions:
While in forward-facing mode, the issue impacts the two highest headrest positions, 10 and 11.
While in rear-facing mode, the issue impacts headrest position 11.
If the headrest is used in these high positions, it may shift positions during a crash and increase risk of injury. The NHSTA reported that these headrest positions do not meet federal motor vehicle safety standards.
What to Expect has reached out to Evenflo for comment and did not hear back as of the time of publication.
