🚨 Evenflo REO Car Seat Recall 🚨
If you own an Evenflo REO convertible car seat, here’s what you need to know.
Evenflo has issued a recall because they’ve identified an issue with the headrest. In certain rear-facing and forward-facing positions, the headrest could move during a crash, which may affect how the seat performs.
The good news: This is not a stop-use recall. You can continue using the seat while waiting for the repair, as long as you follow these headrest guidelines:
✔️ Rear-facing: Use headrest positions 1–10 only (do not use position 11).
✔️ Forward-facing: Use headrest positions 1–9 only (do not use positions 10 or 11).
If your child needs the headrest adjusted higher than these recommended positions, contact Evenflo for guidance before continuing to use the seat.
This recall applies to all manufacture dates and all colors, including:
• Nantucket
• Danvers
• Chelsea
• Holden
• Brookline
• Lenox
If you have questions, you can contact Evenflo Customer Service at 1-800-233-5921 or search NHTSA Recall ID 26C004000 on the NHTSA website for the official recall information.
🧡 A quick reminder: Recalls can sound scary, but they don’t always mean you need to stop using your car seat immediately. In this case, the manufacturer identified a way to make the seat safer while they work on a remedy. Following the headrest position recommendations is the most important step for now.
