Frequently Asked Questions - Active Evenflo

How to install the Active car seat in rear-facing position?

To install the seat in rear-facing position, place the seat on the rear seat of the vehicle and route the seat belt following the red guides. Ensure the belt is tight. The seat should be reclined at 45° for optimal baby comfort.

Can I use the Active car seat without Isofix base?

Yes, the Active car seat can be installed using the vehicle's seat belt, without an Isofix base. However, for easier and more secure installation, the Isofix base is recommended (sold separately).

Up to what weight can I use the seat in rear-facing position?

Rear-facing is recommended until your child reaches 13 kg (approximately 12 to 15 months). After that, turn the seat forward-facing.

The recommended lifespan is 6 years from the date of manufacture. After that, materials may deteriorate and safety is no longer guaranteed.

Can I use this car seat on an airplane?

Yes, the Active car seat is certified for airplane use, provided it is installed forward-facing. Check with your airline for boarding conditions.

How to know if the seat is properly installed?

Check that the seat does not move more than 2.5 cm forward and backward at the belt path. Ensure the belt is locked and the harness is snug without slack.

Can I order spare parts for the Active car seat?

Yes, spare parts such as covers, harness buckles, and headrest are available on the Evenflo website or through customer service.

Is the Active car seat compatible with all vehicles?
