Evenfl has issued a voluntary recall for its Revolve360 Slim car seats manufactured between December 1, 2022, and December 8, 2024. This recall has nothing to do with crash safety; instead, it’s about non-toxic EPS foam inside the headrest, which could become a choking hazard if small children manage to peel or pick off pieces.
Evenflo discovered that some little ones might sneak their tiny fingers under the car seat’s headrest cover and pick at the foam. If the pieces break off and a child puts them in their mouth, it could be dangerous.
The good news?
- No injuries have been reported.
- The car seat remains fully safe and reliable in a crash.
- Evenflo is offering a free fix kit to prevent this issue.
What exactly is the problem?
The issue lies with the expanded polystyrene(EPS) foam the white padding used ih the headrest of the Revolve360 Slim. It’s a soft, shock- absorbing material meant to keep your child safe in case of impact.
However, on certain models made between December 2022 and December 2024, the foam was not fully sealed at the bottom edge. Kids being kids, some have managed to lift the fabric slightly and pick at it. While the foam itself is non-toxic, swallowing small pieces can be a choking risk, especially for toddlers who love to explore by touch and taste. To get more information about Evenflo360…
Which Models are Affected?
Only specific Revolve360 Slim models are included in this recall. To find out if yours is affected:
How to check your Model:
- Rotate the car seat to the side.
- Look for the white sticker label on the back of the seat.
- Find the model number and manufacturer date.
Affected Models:
- Manufactured between December 1, 2022 and December 8, 2024
- Model numbers beginning with 3681
If your seat matches those details, it’s part of the recall.
Not Affected:
- Original Revolve360 models
- Revolve360 Extend models
- Newer Revolve360 Slim models manufactured after the update
These versions are safe because their plastic shoulder belt guides cover the EPS foam area, preventing children from accessing it.
Important Note For Amazon Customers
If you bought your Revolve360 Slim from Amazon, you might have already received an email from the Amazon Product Safety Team with a subject like:
“ATTENTION: Important Safety Notice about your Past Amazon Order.”
That message asks you to stop using the seat immediately and visit the NHTSA site for recall details.
But here’s the deal
- You do not need to stop using the seat if the foam under the cover is still intact.
- The recall is purely preventive.
Amazon just tends to send strongly worded emails about recalls to stay compliant with safety standards, so do not panic.
Important Note for Target Customers
If you purchased the Revolve360 Slim from Target, you might get notified through a Target app message or phone call. Target’s message may also say to stop using the car seat right away and contact Evenflo.
Just like with Amazon
- If the foam is still intact and covered, you can keep using your seat.
The recall is not about the crash safety. It’s about preventing possible choking from loose foam pieces.

- Additional adhesive tape to fully seal the bottom edge of the headrest foam.
- Step-by-step installation instructions.

Additional Info for Canadian Owners
Even though this recall mainly affects U.S. models, Evenflo decided to include Canadian Revolve360 Slim seats as a precautionary step. The design in Canadian models could potentially allow kids to pick at the same foam area, so Evenflo is handling both regions equally to maintain trust and consistency.

A small piece of foam may not sound like a big deal, but for toddlers who explore everything, it can turn into a choking hazard. Evenflo’s quick response ensures peace of mind for all parents.
