As kids get heavier the rotation will require more effort to manage. It’s a smooth motion but toddlers and preschoolers with boots on will need to lift their feet a bit to avoid bumping up against the base. It will depend on your dexterity and the weight of your child and how cooperative they are. You might be able to rotate it one-handed, or may need a second hand to guide the turn. You must never, ever drive with the child side-facing, that is not a travel mode and is very unsafe, and if you are driving without a child in the car with you make sure to rotate it into a stable, locked position even when empty.

Evenflo has instructions for how to unjam it, but best to avoid that situation. If you do try to force it all the way around when it is not on the setting where that’s possible you might jam it. You are really only going from side-loading to rear-facing travel, and back again.

You can rotate a full circle in one of the recline settings, but you don’t need to so don’t worry about the fact that you can’t in all three rear-facing recline settings. It’s visually interesting and I had several people approach me in parking lots while I was loading or unloading to ask me what it was, and I was happy to share my thoughts. We know that’s what draws your attention as it certainly did ours.

It rotates! That’s the game changer here.

Updated July 2023: also watch for updates for where the Revolve Extend and Revolve Slim differ. This review features the Evenflo Revolve 360 GOLD but the standard version has many of the same features and I will point out where the GOLD differs. Of course it has limitations, as do all seats, but it’s a really interesting choice and a game changer when accessibility is needed. It’s well-designed, it’s nice to use, and it offers some super features. So many interesting ways to put a clever spin on this seat (haha, see what I did there?), but it doesn’t need slick marketing to convince me. I also noticed recently that Walmart had the Revolve on sale for $360 and I wondered if that was someone in marketing or sales being really crafty. And do you see that I settled on the really exciting “Evenflo Revolve 360?” Sigh. I started drafting this review in my head before I actually sat down to write it, and distracted myself with witty titles, usually involving songs with ‘spin, revolve, or around’ in them, and of course that sent me down the rabbit hole and I listened to all sorts of songs I didn’t know existed. I had the chance to use the Revolve 360 Rotational All-in-One car seat for a few weeks when I had a friend and her young child visit…and the short version of this review is that I love it.
