Overview
The Evenflo CS260112467 is a forward-facing harness car seat designed for infants within the weight range up to 65 pounds. At 28.2 pounds and measuring 21 inches deep by 16.75 inches wide by 24.3 inches tall, it is a full-size seat meant to stay in one vehicle rather than be swapped frequently. Installation is via LATCH or seat belt, which gives parents flexibility depending on their vehicle's anchor configuration.
Evenflo is a well-established name in child passenger safety, and a 4.6-star rating from 485 reviewers reflects solid real-world performance. With around 1,000 units purchased per month, it is a popular choice in its category. The polyester cover is standard for this class of seat and is typically removable for washing, though buyers should confirm that detail in the product manual.
At $284.99, this seat sits in the mid-range for forward-facing harness seats. Shoppers comparing options in this bracket typically weigh ease of installation, harness adjustment convenience, and cup-holder or canopy extras. Reading the current manual's height and weight limits for the harness mode before purchase ensures the child will have room to grow in the seat before outgrowing it.
Pros
- Strong 4.6-star rating backed by 485 reviews indicates reliable real-world satisfaction
- Dual LATCH and seat-belt installation options suit most vehicle types
- Evenflo's established safety testing reputation adds confidence for a critical purchase
- 65-pound harness weight limit provides meaningful longevity in the forward-facing stage
Cons
- At 28.2 pounds, this is one of the heavier seats in its class and is not convenient to transfer between cars
- Forward-facing only means families who want a single seat from infancy need a separate infant or convertible seat first
- The model number title gives little indication of distinguishing features, making side-by-side comparison harder

Performance notes
Forward-facing harness seats are evaluated on how securely and repeatably the LATCH connectors click in, how easily caregivers can tighten and loosen the harness between uses, and whether the chest clip holds a reliable position. At 21 inches deep, this seat should fit most mid-size and full-size vehicle back seats comfortably. Parents of taller children should check the seat's harness slot height limits in the manual to confirm there is still room to grow before the child approaches the 65-pound ceiling.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average from 485 reviewers and approximately 1,000 monthly purchases indicate this seat earns consistent approval from a broad range of families. At this review volume, patterns around installation ease, padding comfort, and harness usability are well-established in the feedback. The $284.99 price point is competitive for an Evenflo seat with these specs, and the purchase volume suggests it delivers on its promises for most buyers.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum weight for using the Evenflo CS260112467?
The specs list the age range as infant and the maximum weight as 65 pounds, but the minimum weight cutoff for the forward-facing harness mode is in the product manual. Most forward-facing seats in this class require children to meet a minimum weight, typically around 22 pounds, before using the forward-facing harness, so checking the manual before transitioning is important.
Is the cover on this car seat machine washable?
The cover material is listed as polyester. Many Evenflo seat covers in this class are removable and hand- or machine-washable on a gentle cycle, but the specific care instructions for this model are in the manual. Checking the label sewn into the cover is the most reliable way to confirm before washing.
