Evenflo Symphony DLX: All-in-one (rear-facing → forward-facing harness → high-back booster; no backless mode found in manual — manual: Evenflo Symphony All-in-One / Symphony DLX). Forward-facing also requires at least 2 years old (printed manual requirement, not just weight/height). Useful life is set by the expiration date on the manufacture label (no printed number of years).

Recall record

Maxi-Cosi — 6 on NHTSA's record · Evenflo — 41 on NHTSA's record.

That is the record of the brand — not a verdict on these models. A recall names specific models and manufacture-date ranges, and a seat missing from the record is not "recall-free": check nhtsa.gov/recalls with the model and date of manufacture on your seat's label.
