Carry Handle, Shell, Base problem #1

The car seat base was not secure to the seat after installing. We installed the car seat rear facing to bring home our expecting newborn and noticed how much the base moved around not only side to side but up and down. I did reach out to the company maxi cosi and they stated that the movement was perfectly normal. Even after the video of the base moving. We returned the car seat to walmart and showed them the video of the base and maxi cosi’s response. Walmart approved the return and placed the car seat in damaged goods so that another expecting parent didn’t buy it.

Carry Handle, Shell, Base problem #2

The carseat will not lock into the base proper in any recline position except 1. 1 is supposed to be for a newborn. When you place the seat (till you hear it "lock" into place per the manual and a cpst) in 2, 3, or 4 then the seat drops down into the 1 position while driving down the road. We've contacted evenflo repeatedly and no help from them. Now it's to the point it doesn't even lock into 1. We've had this seat since Jan 17, 2023. I have checked online and am able to find 30+ reviews of parents with the same issue across reddit, amazon, and walmart. A recall on the seat needs issued immediately. This has been going on since Jan 21st, 2023.
