Evenflo Revolve360 Model Comparison: Slim vs. Extend vs. Original

FacebooktwittermailFacebooktwittermail
Differences Between Revolve 360, Revolve 360 Slim & Revolve 360 Extend Car Seats

There are now THREE different models of the popular Evenflo Revolve360 Rotating Carseat and each model has various “trim levels” that offer different features at different prices. They all rotate 360Ā° but trying to sort out which version has which features can be confusing. Since we have considerable experience with each of the different Revolve 360 models, we’re going to break it all down for you.

If you’re looking for a comparison of all rotating car seats currently available in the U.S. (there are 7 other models), we’ve got you covered there too. Check out our comprehensive 2024 Rotating Car Seats Comparison.

As I’ve already mentioned, all of the Revolve360 models have the ability to rotate both when rear-facing and forward-facing, unlike some other rotating car seats that only swivel when used rear-facing.

The chart below outlines the main differences between each of the Revolve360 models and there is additional info on each model and its various “trim levels” in the summary section below.

Original Evenflo Gold Revolve360 models were discontinued in early 2023 and have been replaced by an updated version of the original, which is now a Walmart exclusive. The original models, and the new updated Walmart version, all have a maximum rear-facing weight limit of 40 lbs. and a maximum rear-facing height limit of 40″. By comparison, the new Extend & Slim models are both rated up to 50 lbs. & 48″ rear-facing.

The Walmart-exclusive R360 model is available in a black/gray fashion called “Amherst”. This base model has hook-style LATCH connectors, which are not as nice as the push-on LATCH connectors found on most of the other R360 models. Swapping the more expensive push-on LATCH connectors for less expensive hook-style connectors makes it possible for Walmart to offer their R360 model at a lower MSRP.

Evenflo Revolve360 Extend

The new Revolve360 Extend model is almost identical in size and weight to the original but there are a few important upgrades.

Evenflo Gold Revolve360 Extend with SensorSafe

MSRP $429.99

This Extend model adds a white chest clip with SensorSafe technology but lacks the Quick Clean cover found on the other R360 Extend model.

The R360 Extend with SensorSafe comes in 4 fashions: Moonstone, Sapphire, Onyx & Opal.

If you’re not already familiar with SensorSafe – it’s technology integrated into the chest clip and when the chest clip is buckled (presumably because a child is in the seat), it can send alerts to your phone via an app. Alerts will be triggered if the chest clip becomes unbuckled, if the temperature inside the vehicle is too hot or too cold, if the child is left unattended in the vehicle, or if the child has been seated for too long.

Revolve360 Slim with Quick Clean Cover

For an extra $20, this upgraded model features a better cover with zippers that removes in pieces to make it easier to strip and clean. It also features an optional seat protector insert. Trust me when I tell you that the first time your adorable tiny human covers the car seat with vomit or a diaper blowout, you’ll consider this nominal additional expense the best $20 you’ve ever spent.

The optional seat protector insert included with the R360 Slim Quick Clean cover also provides an extra layer of protection against spills but it does have limitations. It may be used rear-facing up to 50 lbs. but only allowed in the forward-facing position up to 40 lbs. Note: the seat protector insert is separate from the infant head and body cushion inserts which are only allowed to be used rear-facing (and are typically only useful for babies).

MSRP $349
