The Car Seat Pros

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!

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.

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!

The updated Evenflo Shyft DualRide Car Seat & Stroller Combo meets new U.S. federal safety standards for side-impact protection. This innovative niche product can be a game-changer, but there are tradeoffs. Our thorough review covers all the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.

Evenflo is voluntarily recalling Revolve360 SLIM car seats manufactured between 12/1/22 - 12/8/24, for an issue that is NOT related to crash safety. The non-toxic EPS foam that lines the headrest on these Slim models needs additional tape to keep it protected from little fingers that may try to reach up under the cover and pick off pieces. If dislodged, pieces of EPS foam can present a choking hazard if a child decides to put them in their mouth.

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.

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.
