The Car Seat Pros

Car seats that are touching and/or “sharing airspace” have been a hot topic within the online CPST community for the past few years. The messaging has been very hardline. No touching allowed, no puzzling of seats, no sharing of imaginary “airspace” allowed, period. But is there evidence to support these claims? We take a deep dive into the subject matter to settle the debate.

We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of 2025 car seat models that are marketed as being “FR-free”. The list is grouped by type of car seat (infant, convertible, booster, etc.) to make it easier to find what you’re looking for!

The ABC Kids Expo is THE place to see the latest and greatest in kids gear. 2025 was no exception and all the manufacturers had something to show off. We’ve got the details from what European company is coming to the U.S. to who allows gaps behind their boosters.

If you’re considering a Doona, chances are you are also comparing it to the Evenflo Shyft DualRide and wondering which might be better for you. Like all niche products, these car seats with integrated strollers are definitely convenient but there are tradeoffs.

Pros & Cons of rotating car seat models from Chicco, Cybex, Evenflo, Graco, Joie, Nuna & more to help you find the BEST revolving carseat for your child! Plus, a comparison chart with all your need-to-know features!

At some point in the future (maybe December 2026?) , most car seats manufactured for sale in the U.S. will be required to pass a new side-impact crash test. Learn about the side-impact test and the updates car seat manufacturers are making to comply with the new standard.

There are 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 360° 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.

You asked for it: a complete list of car seats that rear-face to 50 lbs., along with their rear-facing height limits. And our awesome chart in shareable form!

This list is a resource for parents and caregivers searching for a slim car seat. We included measurements, weight ranges and MSRP quotes for 17 narrow car seat and booster models to help you narrow down which seats might suit your situation, and your budget.

Evenflo and Transport Canada are recalling all Canadian Revolve360 Slim models manufactured through June 2025. The recall issue has nothing to do with the rotation feature and is mostly avoidable.

Only Revolve360 SLIM car seats made for the Canadian market are affected because they are structurally different from the U.S. Revolve360 Slim models.
