Proper installation is critical for safety. The Evenflo Revolve180 LiteMax NXT can be installed using either the vehicle's LATCH system or the vehicle's seat belt.
Installation Steps:
- Read Vehicle Manual: Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific car seat installation instructions and LATCH anchor locations.
- Position Car Seat Base: Place the car seat base on the vehicle seat in the rear-facing position.

Engage the LockStrong belt tensioning system and tighten the seat belt. Ensure the base is secure and moves less than one inch side-to-back and front-to-back at the belt path.
- Adjust Recline: Select one of the 5 available recline positions to ensure the infant's head is properly supported and the car seat is level.
- Attach Infant Carrier: Place the infant carrier onto the installed base, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Harness Adjustment: Adjust the 5-point harness to fit your child snugly. The harness straps should be at or below the child's shoulders for rear-facing.
