No experience on the product but my preference is the bucket style car seat for babies. Easier to transport them when they are tiny and if they were napping in the car or out and about. This particular car seat you are inquiring is a 3 in 1. You might want to factor in the type of car you are driving and size/height of other car occupants.

This is for an 18 month old, 32 inches height , 22 pounds weight, seat will be installed in a Honda CR-V.

Only mother with the infant on the rear seat.

For an 18month old, I think it would work if you are using it as a forward facing seat. My only gripe on 3 in 1 is it's bulky especially when you position it in rear-facing. Another thing to note, if you want to carry more passenger on the rear seat, putting 2 people plus the car seat might be impossible.

Don’t know much about this very new convertible car seat but I suggest you join the Facebook group that have technicians that know car seats well to answer questions vs on RFD. There was another mom asking and a discussion was started on worries if the 360 swivel will be impacted if it gets dirty with say sand etc. Personally it’s a great product that I am following and waiting for more reviews from users. I really like the 360 rotation to make it easier for the getting in and out of car seat.

I can't comment on that particular seat.
But if you decide to buy make sure that the belts and the cover comes fully off as some of these high end Evenflo seats, you cannot remove all the pieces and trust me if your young one ever has a potty or puking accident you want to toss everything in the washing machine.

Never put the straps of a car seat into the washing machine! The car seat manual will have the approved cleaning instructions. The washing machine can degrade the strength of the straps.

Please don't turn your kid around at 18 months. Please. In fact, it would actually violate the requirements of this particular seat, which must be used rear-facing until at least age 2.

The strong safety recommendation is to keep baby rear facing until baby reaches the rear facing limit of the seat. In the case of this seat, that's 40lb or if the top of baby's head is closer than 1 inches to the top of the car seat shell / head rest (approx. 101cm/40").

I don't know much about this seat, but there are certainly better seats on the market for the price, or equivalent for cheaper. You'll have a much higher rear facing limit with the cheaper Graco Extend2Fit, for example, and it would be certified for air plane use (which the Revolve is not).

I agree with asking your questions on a site dedicated to this:
