Baby Revolve 180 LiteMax NXT Car Seat
Product details
Web ID: 22869208Swivel + Soothing = Game Changer
I absolutely love this car seat! The installation was quick and hassle-free, and the one-hand, 180° rotation has been a total game-changer for getting my baby in and out of the car. No more awkward angles or struggling to buckle her in. The built-in tech features are a huge hit in our family. My baby used to cry in the car until we switched to this seat, but now she’s calm and happy. She especially loves the lights on the handle, and the soothing sounds work like magic. My older kids even argue over who gets to pick the next sound! Customizing everything through the Evenflo app was easy and intuitive. Adjusting the seat for the perfect fit was simple, and I appreciate the thoughtful, eco-friendly fabrics that are free from added chemicals and flame retardants. The material feels soft and high-quality, yet the seat is lighter than I expected—making it easy to move when needed. I loved being able to test this from Stella Product Testing. Overall, this seat checks every box for comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. Highly recommend!

All the bells and whistles
I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a mom to now 3 kiddos I have had more than my share of car seats and this one is definitely souped up with all the fancy bells and whistles. Setting the tech components aside, the seat itself is great. The fabrics are soft and comfortable for baby and I love that they are eco-friendly and made free from added chemicals. The seat is super light, which is important when I want to leave baby in the seat to carry her in for a quick errand, and much appreciated for a post c-section with lifting restrictions. The ability to easily rotate the seat is awesome and makes in/out for stops like daycare so much easier - never again will I get a seat that doesn't rotate because fighting to clip baby in awkwardly over a rear facing seat is a disaster. The base was super easy to install, with the LATCH method, but I like that there is a seat belt option for the seat even without the base should we use it when we travel (even has instructions in guide for plane use). Onto the tech. Firstly, in case it isn't obvious the seat uses Bluetooth to communicate to an app on caregivers phone, both for the buckle safety feature and the lights/sound. I am fine with this, but I know some don't want it used near baby. It was easy to install the 4 AA batteries in the seat, though I am interested in how often these will have to be changed with regular use. The seat-belt clip with safety features on the app are great - it sends alerts to your phone, such as telling you baby is in the car and on our recent car trip gave me a warning it was time to consider a break which is a great safety feature. You can even have it set to alert a family member if you leave the buckled seat in car and separate your phone from car (such as going into a building). The lights and sounds are a high-end feature, but do seem to calm and distract baby and being able to control it from the phone rather than having to reach over to back seat is great when baby is crying in the car. The seat and app were easy to install, from opening the box to all installed, including app set-up, was less than 30 minutes. As far as downsides, the sun shade seems a little flimsy, but does work to shield light at the back part of the seat over baby's head. But perhaps the biggest downside I have is that I don't have a stroller that this seat works with and as a mom of 3 I have many strollers - there is a limited selection of strollers from the company that it will work with and it doesn't seem to be compatible with any of the strollers I already have. If I were to buy this seat myself I would have to explore and consider those options as having an easy fold stroller baby's seat can quickly clip into for longer errands is important in my mind.

Super Smart Features
Big thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for gifting me this infant car seat. Overall, this car seat seems like a good choice for anyone wanting extra tech features as part of their car seat. The chest clip provides feedback when clipped and within range of the parent’s phone, through an easy to download and use app. Additionally, a sound machine and lights are built into the handle for soothing during car rides. Both of these features were new to me, and very easy to understand and utilize. My baby loved the lights and soothing sounds during our car rides, and they were not invasive to me as the driver. The quality of the seat was a bit lacking compared to my expectation. I appreciate car seats that don’t have chemicals or flame retardants, which this one meets those standards. However, the material feels a bit rougher than I expected; although seemed to be comfortable for my baby (2 weeks old). Installing the base could not have been easier! I used the latch clips, and it took me less than a minute to achieve a safe installation. The built-in level took the guessing away from a proper install. Adjusting the seat to fit my baby proved to be a bit more time consuming, but was straight forward when I referred to the manual while adjusting. The harness at shoulder level or below was a bit difficult to adjust, but finally lowered enough to be safe. Once in the adjusted seat, my baby seemed comfortable as well as appropriately secured. Overall, this seat seems like a good choice for anyone who wants an easy to install, tech-savvy seat with extra safety features. A parent purchasing this should have a smart phone to fully appreciate the safety and tech features. Because of the incredibly easy install, this would be ideal for a first time parent or caregiver. As a mom of 3, with my littlest being 2 weeks, I especially loved the Revolve 180 feature. This allowed me to place my infant’s seat in the car, rotate and have room for my older two to climb into their seats - I have not experienced this with other infant carrier seats. While a little lacking in my expectation of overall quality and fabric feel, if the other features offered are desired that won’t be a deal breaker when purchasing. I would recommend this seat to my friends who are first time parents or have multiples and would most benefit from the tech and Revolve 180 features.

So Cool!
I was fortunate enough to receive this as part of the Stellar Testing Panel! The car seat is incredibly well designed and perfect quality. Adjustment of the seat was quick and easy and installation was a breeze. The weight of the car seat is perfect for carrying especially with the amount of bells and whistles this car seat has to offer. This is perfect for our newborn with the softness of the fabrics that are free of flame retardants and added chemicals. I loved the use of technology combined with the ease of a 180 rotating car seat. It make it so easy getting my newborn in and out. I LOVE the that the handle has a built in sound machine as well as the soothing light feature. We never travel without a sound machine for our little one in the car so this just makes our life so much easier. The Evenflo app was very user friendly and made for an easy set up for the SensorSoothe as well as the SensorSafe feature. Living in Florida it can get extremely warm and I love that these features help to ensure my baby is at a comfortable temperature in the backseat. Now I just need to hunt down/purchase the stroller system that is compatible with this because I am in love!

Great car seat baby loves it
This is a fantastic car seat. My son loves the comfort of it and the soothing technology is actually very helpful. It’s very nice looking. The swivel technology is very helpful for this short c section mama. My son never sleeps in his old car seat but always sleeps in this one. It’s a great find! Tested for the stellar panel.

Sleek car seat with fun tech features - a parenting win!
What a fun car seat! The bells & whistles on this car seat are perhaps not necessary, but certainly helpful during a longer car ride with a four-month old that only takes cat naps! We really like the fact that the car seat is all black - it's pretty aesthetically pleasing, especially for something that comes with lights and sounds. It's a bit bulkier than the car seat we had previously used (though that one was particularly light), but it seems to keep our daughter comfy and content. The canopy is the one part that feels a little cheap, at least compared to other seats we've used, but it gets the job done. I am not a tech savvy person, and the app is actually really easy to use, and it was easy to setup the SensorSafe and Sensory Soothe features! We found it really helpful to program Siri to be able to turn on/off the features. Hands-free features are a game changer once you are a parent. Our daughter was really captivated by the lights! (as you can see by her body language in the photos!) Her little face was in awe when we first tested it out. We will probably only use them on occasion so she doesn't start to rely on these features while in the car. The SensorSafe features are great for peace of mind. I haven't had the seat long enough to be able to speak to the durability, but I am hoping spit-up and drool don't cause it to stop working at some point! The rotation of the car seat is an added bonus, especially because we have a car that is lower to the ground and this was helpful on our backs! Not always necessary, though, because at this age, we are still taking her car seat out of the car most of the time. The installation process was quick and hassle-free. I do also appreciate that the fabric used is free from added chemicals! I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I was shopping for a car seat previously, I hadn't necessarily considered that some of these tech features would be something to look for - but now that we have gotten to try them out, I must say - they are nice and it would make me reconsider with any future car seat purchases!

Great car seat
Don’t let the bell and whistles of this car seat scare you! It is awesome. We have a compact SUV. This car seat is perfect for maneuvering in and out thanks to the 180 degree rotation without disturbing the baby! Our four-month old loves the lights on the handle as well as the music, and the seat fabric is soft and comfortable. Installation was quick and easy, and downloading the compatible app was fine! We are trying out this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Peace of Mind
This car seat is fantastic, and includes more than I thought was possible for an infant car seat. The features that are included are not needed, but they definitely make things as a parent easier. Being able to have multiple options to help soothe my daughter while we are driving is such a great convenience. The app is simple to use, and I especially appreciated the safety feature that alerts if you walk too far from the seat. As a mom to three kids, it brings peace of mind knowing that I have something helping my mental load of keeping them safe. Installing the car seat was simple and seems very secure. The instructions were very easy to follow. I love that the car seat is free from flame retardants, but the car seat did still have a smell when we first set it up, which slowly faded with time. As for the rotation of the car seat, I find that I don't use it as much since I often carry my infant in the seat. With that said, when I do get them out, being able to rotate the seat make it so much easier. Overall, I would recommend this car seat to a friend who is interested in having extra features to help soothe their baby and to give a greater peace of mind. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
