  "question": "Which convertible car seats are easiest to install using LATCH connectors?",
  "answer": "Baby Jogger City Turn: Describes it as the easiest install possible, taking just over a minute to install securely and put a child in. Cybex Callisto T 360: CYBEX describes the Callisto T 360 as installing in seconds, rotating 360 degrees, and being 37% safer in a crash with luxury fabrics. Graco EasyTurn 360 2-in-1 Convertible Car Seat: A parent using the seat in a Ford Transit liked the slim profile in narrow seats, found it super easy to install, and could switch the fit from a 3-year-old to a 6-month-old in less than a minute; her small 3-year-old still rear-faced comfortably and she found nothing to dislike. Evenflo Revolve360 Slim 2-in-1 Rotating Car Seat: There is only one belt path and the shell rotates within the base, so the rear-facing and forward-facing install is the same; the manual prefers the vehicle seat belt over lower anchors. Evenflo Revolve360 Slim 2-in-1 Rotating Car Seat with SensorSafe: LATCH installation failed repeatedly: the plastic release mechanism on the strap collides with the plastic bevel on the base so the strap cannot be tightened enough to stop the seat wiggling, and removing it was nearly as hard; the manual also showed a different style of LATCH connector, adding confusion. Evenflo Revolve360 Slim 2-in-1 Rotating Car Seat with Quick Clean Cover: Testers could never get a stable LATCH install across several cars; the LATCH strap's plastic release buckle collides with the plastic bevel on the base and stops the strap being tightened enough to remove sideways movement.",

It does not mean the unit on sale is from an affected batch, that the store knew, or that the product is illegal where the store sells it; a US recall does not bind an Australian store. The notice may cover only some serial numbers or dates of manufacture, which a listing does not show. RoboTrunk never limits or blocks a purchase over a notice; read the notice and decide.",
