Infant car seats in general are meant to be used rear facing for babies under the age of 1. Evenflo has a wide range of infant car seats that on average have a weight limit of 45 pounds. Evenflo’s infant car seats all click into a base that is installed in your car (either with a seat belt or using the vehicle’s LATCH system), which allows parents to transport baby out of the car without removing them from the seat. Most Evenflo seats feature a five-point harness to safely secure baby and many have seat covers that can be removed and machine washed. Other available features include a retractable shade, ergonomic handle, and lightweight design that is easy to carry.
