Product Description

Chicco KeyFit Infant Car Seat and Base It's very rare to find an infant car seat and base which work together so greatly to make the entire installation process easier. The KeyFit Car Seat and Base from Chicco works so well together that it is very different than other car seats. Other car seats don't install half as easily as the Chicco. The KeyFit is a baby car seat which is also affordably priced to not bust wallets. The KeyFit can fit a range of child form 4-30 lbs, which is different than all other car seats with infant in the title. The car seat from Chicco can also handle a child up to 30 in. of height. There are several distinct features which help to separate the Chicco KeyFit Infant Car Seat from other car seats. One huge distinction is that this baby car seat features an almost error proof LATCH system. A parent may struggle with installation once, but will certainly have it down after that. Another great feature is the newborn infant insert with substantial padding. The padding inside of the car seat provides an improved fit and comfort for smaller babies from 4-11 lbs. The base for the baby car seat from Chicco also has some great features including a spring loaded leveling system to better the installation process. The KeyFit also accommodates car seats without LATCH. The belt lock offs help the seat belts fit snugly.

Customer Reviews

Stylish and Safe
This is a great infant car seat. As stated in the description, you're able to keep your baby in a much safer rear-facing position for a longer period of time. In the event of a crash, what this means is that your baby's body won't take the brunt of the impact, the seat will do most of the work.

Originally, I was considering more flashy and expensive European car seats, but then I spoke with my neighbor. Part of her responsibilities in working for our local police force involves helping parents properly install their car seats. She let me know that many of the infant car seats on the market aren't worth the hype, but she highly recommended the Chicco Keyfit 30 for the reasons I stated in the paragraph above.

Indeed she was right. Not only is this clearly very well constructed, including neat details such as bubble levels on the base, but it's also stylish and functional as well. Most importantly, it's a snap to install... PROPERLY! And that's a feature not many other car seats can boast.

We havent had the chance to use this seat yet. But from taking in and out of the car to see how it works it is very easy and feels very safe. We like the color scheme since all the stores had were the same bland designs this works a lot better. The second base we got also is perfect so we don't have to move the whole set up and reattach and tighten everything. My Dad is a retired Firefighter and he says this seat is awesome the way it attaches to the car and how easy it is to use. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and safety on all kinds of car seats and this manufacturer has a great reputation and had great reviews. We are very happy with this purchase and can hardly wait to use it.

Great seat!
I have this seat in the Romantic fabric scheme.

This seat has lasted until 7 months, and would go a little longer. My son is about 20 pounds, but is growing out of the height range. I have been very happy with this car seat! The pads wash very well, even after spit-ups and diaper blow-outs. You would never know to look at the pads. It clicks into the base easily and is very simple to install. A t the hospital they preferred this one because it lays newborns back a little more. remember to take the newborn insert out when your child reaches the appropriate size, and adjust the strap heights. This is VERY easy to do.

This car seat is heavy and I almost never carry him in it. I don't know how it compares to other seats, but add a 10-20 pound baby and it's too much for me. I use a Maclaren Easy Traveller (much recommended over the coordinating Chicco travel system strollers) to get him everywhere. Put the seat in the frame, put the baby in, and go. The only time I lift the seat is to get it from the stroller frame inside the car.

I would buy this seat again, but leave out the Cortina stroller.
