Shopping links paused for a recall check
NHTSA lists 3 campaigns naming this model family (26C005000, 26C002000, 25C003000). I pause shopping links until I have read the campaign and checked which build dates it covers.
Who the LiteMax 30 Infant Car Seat fits
This seat covers one stage. Check the date label on the shell before using a hand-me-down; every seat has an expiry.
- Rear-facing harness3 to 30 lb · 15.7 to 32 in
- The child faces the back of the car, which keeps the head, neck and spine supported in a frontal crash. Keep this mode as long as the child fits it.

How the LiteMax 30 Infant Car Seat installs
- Harness
- 4 shoulder harness positions. Check the harness height at each growth spurt: at or below the shoulders rear-facing, at or above them forward-facing.
Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.
Will it fit your car?
At 19 in at its widest, measure your back seat before counting on three across. It weighs 8.17 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.
- Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
- Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
- Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.
What features does the LiteMax 30 Infant Car Seat have?

Is the LiteMax 30 Infant Car Seat recalled?
NHTSA currently lists 3 campaigns naming this Evenflo family: 26C005000, 26C002000, 25C003000. A campaign names a family, not always every build, so check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture against the campaign itself.
I have not reviewed these campaigns for this model yet, so shopping links stay paused here.
Before you buy
- Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
- Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect.
- Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
- Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Evenflo so you hear about the next one.
