Evenflo Recalls Nearly 60,000 REO by Revolve360 Car Seats for Injury Risk During Crash

The car seat’s headrest may shift position during a crash. A repair kit is in development.

Evenflo has voluntarily recalled nearly 60,000 REO by Revolve360 car seats due to a risk of injury in a crash. The rotating convertible car seats have 11 adjustable headrest positions, and under certain crash test conditions, the headrest was found to shift from a higher to a lower position. “If the headrest position shifts in a vehicle crash, there may be a heightened risk of injury,” according to the report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Though the car seat is not currently in production, all Evenflo REO by Revolve360 rotating convertible car seats are expected to have this issue, and Evenflo is recalling multiple model numbers of this car seat in six colorways produced before July 1, 2026. A repair kit to remedy the issue is currently under development. No injuries have been reported.

If you own this car seat, it may be safe to continue using it while you await a repair kit, but only in certain headrest positions. The safety risk was discovered in the following positions: 

  • Rear-facing position with the headrest in position 11
  • Forward-facing position with the headrest in positions 10 or 11

Outside of these positions, you are still able to use your car seat safely, Evenflo said in a statement. “Until the remedy is available, parents and caregivers may continue using affected REO car seats when the headrest is adjusted to positions 1 through 10 in rear-facing mode or positions 1 through 9 in forward-facing mode. We will notify registered owners as soon as the free remedy is available and provide instructions for obtaining it.”

“It’s important to continue keeping your child properly restrained in an appropriate car seat for every car ride. While there is potential for increased injury risk if the headrest changes position, the injury risk for an unrestrained child in a crash is certain,” says Emily A. Thomas, PhD, associate director of auto safety at Consumer Reports. 

NHTSA first identified the headrest-shifting issue during testing, and Evenflo later confirmed it. 

The Evenflo REO by Revolve360 recall does not affect any other Evenflo car seats, including other Revolve models (which are all rotating models). 

Evenflo says that all owners who have registered their car seats will be contacted soon by the company about the recall and remedy kit, most likely by mail. If you haven’t yet registered your car seat or can’t remember whether you have, or if you’ve recently moved, the company recommends that you fill out a new registration. You can also contact Evenflo for additional support.

Here’s what else to know about the Evenflo REO by Revolve360 recall.

Details of the Evenflo REO by Revolve360 Car Seat Recall

Seats recalled: 59,661 Evenflo REO by Revolve360 rotating convertible car seats are being recalled across all colorways. The recall applies to REO models sold in the U.S. and Canada with model numbers beginning with CS26021. You can find your model number on the product label located on the back of your car seat’s shell. 

Affected U.S. model numbers include:

  • CS260212521 (BROOKLINE)
  • CS260212522 (LENOX)
  • CS260212536 (HOLDEN)
  • CS260212537 (NANTUCKET)
  • CS260212538 (DANVERS) 
  • CS260212539 (CHELSEA)

Affected Canadian model numbers include:

  • CS260212521C (BROOKLINE)
  • CS260212538C (DANVERS)

The problem: When the headrest is in certain positions in rear- or forward-facing mode, the headrest may shift into a lower position during a crash. A car seat that doesn’t maintain the proper headrest position may not adequately protect a child in a crash and could increase the risk of injury. 

The fix: Evenflo is currently developing a remedy and will notify registered users as soon as the remedy is available, and will provide instructions at that point for receiving the free remedy. In the meantime, the company says you may continue to use your car seat when the headrest is in positions 1 through 10 in rear-facing mode or positions 1 through 9 in forward-facing mode. If your child is tall enough to require position 10 or 11 on the headrest, contact Evenflo for support.

How to contact the manufacturer: Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning Aug. 17, 2026. Owners may contact Evenflo customer service at 800-233-5921 in the U.S. or 800-265-0749 in Canada, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. You can also send an email to parentlink@evenflo.com.
