Overview

Evenflo's CS160412535 is a rear facing infant car seat rated to 30 pounds, installing with either LATCH or the vehicle's seat belt. The polyester covered shell weighs 8.6 pounds.

Rear facing only means this seat is built for the infant stage rather than a convertible seat that later turns to face forward. The 30 pound limit and 8.6 pound shell suit carrying the seat between car and stroller, and Evenflo lists both LATCH and seat belt installation, so it isn't restricted to vehicles with LATCH anchors.

  • Rear facing orientation
  • 30 pound weight capacity
  • LATCH and seat belt installation
  • 8.6 pound item weight

Who it's for

Works for parents outfitting a car for a newborn through the early toddler stage, up to 30 pounds. Families wanting one seat that later converts to forward facing will need a different, convertible model.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Installs with LATCH or seat belt
  • Light 8.6 pound shell for carrying
  • Rear facing orientation suited to infants
What to check first
  • Rear facing only, so a new seat is needed once the child outgrows it
  • No mention of stroller travel system compatibility

Performance notes

Installation flexibility comes from the dual LATCH and seat belt options, letting the seat go into vehicles without LATCH anchors in the back row. At 8.6 pounds the shell is light enough to carry between a car and a stroller frame, and the polyester cover is typical of washable car seat fabric.
