Like all baby gear manufacturers, Evenflo is constantly modifying their line-up in order to keep up with safety standards. They currently feature 6 rear-facing infant car seats and it can get confusing trying to figure out which one is best for you. In this blog, we’ll compare the differences and explain the similarities between all the types of Evenflo infant car seats. We’ve made an easy to read chart to help you navigate the key points.
What are we comparing?
There are several key features that all Evenflo rear-facing infant car seats posses, so they won’t be included in the chart.
The similarities are:
- Machine washable: All seats will feature machine washable fabrics. Some will even feature a removable pad!
- Rollover tested: All seats have been tested in rollover situations, based on the requirements of the federal crash test standards.
- Level indicator: All car seat bases will feature a level indicator so you know your base and car seat are always installed at the correct angle to maximize your child’s safety.
There are a few differences that we want to explain before we get to our chart. This way, you know what they mean and can make a better decision regarding your child.
The differences are:
- SensorSafe™️ Technology: SensorSafe™️ is a revolutionary chest clip that connects real-time to your phone. It alerts you of 4 potentially unsafe situations in your vehicle. 1. If your child has been seated too long. 2. If the backseat is too warm. 3. If your child becomes unbuckled. 4. If your child is left unattended. Another bonus – No subscription is needed!
- SafeZone®️ Load Leg Technology: This load leg extends from the base and stabilizes your base on the floor of your vehicle. It can reduce rotational forces up to 50% in the event of a front impact collision.
- No-Rethread Harness: A no-rethread harness allows you to adjust the height of the headrest without having to disassemble your car seat straps. You can adjust with the push of a button!
- SureSafe Installation: This ensures that your car seat is installed correctly every time. A belt lock-off folds down onto your seat belt to cinch your base into its proper position.
