Evenflo has recalled 59,661 REO by Revolve360 child car seats because the headrest may shift during a crash. Families may continue using an affected seat within Evenflo's temporary headrest-position limits while a permanent remedy is developed.
What Is Being Recalled?
Evenflo is recalling 59,661 REO by Revolve360 child car seats sold in the United States because the headrest may shift in certain rear-facing or forward-facing positions during a crash. NHTSA campaign 26C004 covers affected seats in Nantucket, Danvers, Chelsea, Holden, Brookline and Lenox color variants with model numbers beginning CS26021.The condition does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 for child-restraint systems. A headrest that changes position during a crash can increase the risk of injury. Evenflo says the permanent remedy is still under development.
How to Identify an Affected Evenflo REO Seat
Look for a model number beginning with CS26021 on the manufacturer label attached to the child seat. The recall applies to REO by Revolve360 seats in the following named colors: Nantucket, Danvers, Chelsea, Holden, Brookline and Lenox. Evenflo says this campaign does not include its Revolve180, Revolve360, Revolve360 Extend or Revolve360 Slim product lines.The seats were sold in the United States and Canada beginning in March 2025. The 59,661 count is the U.S. population reported to NHTSA. Keep a photograph of the model, manufacture-date and serial labels so the seat can be matched to the final remedy once Evenflo publishes it.
What Headrest Positions Can Be Used?
Evenflo's interim instructions say an affected seat may continue to be used with the headrest in positions 1 through 10 in rear-facing mode or positions 1 through 9 in forward-facing mode. Do not use position 11 in rear-facing mode or positions 10 and 11 in forward-facing mode while the remedy is pending.Always follow the seat manual's height, weight, harness and installation rules in addition to these temporary limits. If the child's correct harness fit requires a prohibited headrest position, use another appropriate child restraint rather than moving the headrest outside Evenflo's interim instruction.
When Will the Evenflo Remedy Be Available?
The NHTSA record states that the remedy remains under development. Interim owner letters were expected beginning August 17, 2026, with another notice to follow after the remedy becomes available. Because no repair kit, replacement request or refund form was open on the publication date, OCA has not added a remedy CTA.Families should register the seat with Evenflo if it was not registered at purchase and monitor the official Evenflo REO recall page for the final instructions.
