My take on the REVV rotating convertible car seat
The REVV suits a parent who wants a rotating seat for the baby and toddler years and expects to buy another seat for a bigger child. Its forward-facing harness ends at 40 lb or 43 in, so it is outgrown sooner than the REVV maxx. The figures here come from Nuna's REVV manual.

Who the REVV rotating convertible car seat fits
This seat covers 2 stages, and a child has to meet every limit of the stage they are in. Nuna gives it a 10-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.
Rear-facing harness5 to 30 lb · 18 to 34 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.
Forward-facing harness30 to 40 lb · 34 to 43 in · from 2 years
The child faces forward in the seat’s own harness. Use the top tether every time, and stay in the harness until the child outgrows it.

How the REVV rotating convertible car seat installs
Belt lock-off
True tension door (belt lock-off). A lock-off clamps the vehicle belt so you do not have to switch the belt's retractor into its locked mode.
Recline
5 recline positions each direction. The recline angle is what keeps a young baby’s airway open, so set it before tightening the install.
Harness
No-rethread 5-point harness. 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 18.5 in at its widest, measure your back seat before counting on three across. It weighs 29.7 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.
Not certified for aircraft use: plan on gate-checking it or using a different seat to fly.

What to know before you live with it
Installation with belt, lap belt or lower anchors
The manual prefers the lap/shoulder belt. Set the seat upright, rotate it rear-facing, attach the tether loosely, then route the belt across the anti-rebound panel and under the True Tension door. The shoulder belt goes behind the anti-rebound panel and over the tether strap. A lap-only belt is allowed if it can be locked, but the seat must then be in recline position 5 in both directions. The lower anchor belt is limited to 30 lb rear-facing and 35 lb forward-facing, and must never be combined with the vehicle belt. The seat should move less than 1 inch at the belt path.
The manual says the tether should always be used, rear-facing and forward-facing, routed over the seat's handle. There are 10 recline positions: 1 to 5 in blue for rear-facing use from 5 to 30 lb, and 1 to 5 in red for forward-facing use from 30 to 40 lb. A handle at the front sets the recline. The head support has 10 positions. Rear-facing, the harness sits at or just below the shoulders; forward-facing, at or just above. The shoulder, hip and crotch pads are always used.
The manual removes the head support fabric first: take out the pads and inserts, raise the head support, undo two snaps and pull the fabric over the frame. The seat cover then comes off by undoing snaps, releasing two fabric stiffeners and guiding the fabric around each side impact pod. Wash covers by the tag; the infant insert wedge is spot clean only. The harness and buckle cannot be removed, so wipe them. Do not use bleach, do not iron, and do not lubricate the spin mechanism.
Nuna's REVV maxx page lists rear-facing use with the seat belt at 5 to 40 lb and 18 to 43 in, and forward-facing use with the seat belt at 30 to 65 lb and 34 to 49 in. It also lists an 11-position headrest and a seat weight of 30.6 lb. If a forward-facing harness past 40 lb matters to you, that is the comparison to make.
Is the REVV rotating convertible car seat recalled?
No campaign in the current NHTSA child-restraint data names this model family, and I have not run a separate review for it. Check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use.
Yes, with the tether, for children up to 30 lb rear-facing and 35 lb forward-facing. Above 35 lb forward-facing, use the vehicle belt and tether, up to 40 lb.
Yes, if the belt can be locked and the vehicle maker allows it. The manual then requires recline position 5 in both rear-facing and forward-facing use.
