The proper use of car seats is very important in preventing injuries if you are in a crash. In this video, we cover the proper installation and use of the Evenflo Revolve car seat using the lower anchors and tether, or LATCH system. If you're unsure whether your car seat is installed correctly, find a car seat tech to have it checked. In Texas, visit BuckleUp.tamu.edu to find a tech near you. Nationwide, visit cert.safekids.org and click on "Find a Tech."
