  "answer": "Evenflo Revolve360 Slim 2-in-1 Rotating Car Seat with Quick Clean Cover: The seat is two pieces, a shell and a base, and the shell cannot be installed without the base; the separate shell can be carried out to the car during installation but is not designed to be carried around for everyday use. Chicco Fit360 ClearTex Rotating Convertible Car Seat: Lower anchors may be used only to 30 lb rear-facing and 35 lb forward-facing; the top tether is required with either base installation method, and the seat belt and LATCH must not be used together.",
