SENSORYSOOTHE and SENSORSAFE by Evenflo. Discover Evenflo’s innovative technologies that redefine comfort and safety for your family. SENSORYSOOTHE The first integrated soothing system built directly into the handlebar of your infant car seat, now also available on select Evenflo home gear products. SENSORYSOOTHE provides a safe and seamless way to calm your little one at home or on the go, eliminating the need for portable soothers that could become projectiles in a car crash. Create soothing scenes in the app with lights, sounds, and songs tailored to your child’s preferences, then activate them via the app or with voice commands. SENSORSAFE Keep your child safe with real-time safety alerts sent directly from the chest clip of your child's car seat to your phone via Bluetooth. Stay informed about four critical scenarios: CLIP OPEN - the child's chest clip has become unbuckled. TEMPERATURE TOO HOT or TOO COLD - the car's interior may be too hot or cold for the child. TIME TO TAKE A BREAK - reminder to let the child get out of the seat to move and stretch after 2 hours. CHILD STILL IN CAR - the caretaker and their mobile phone have moved away from the child who has been left buckled inside the vehicle. It will also alert family members with the last known location of the vehicle if the primary caregiver does not respond to the alert. The Evenflo app also provides easy access to your Evenflo instruction manuals, guidance on car seat installation, product videos, FAQs and direct access to customer support. Download the Evenflo app today and experience peace of mind with smarter, safer products for your family.
