| About This Brand |
|---|
An Italian company that is one of the newest manufacturers to enter the child-seat market in the U.S., Chicco currently offers only an infant child seat for the U.S. market. It performed at the top of our infant seat ratings for 2007. Its KeyFit seat incorporates many features that make it easier to use and install but it has been updated to a higher weight capacity and is now the KeyFit 30. |

The Keyfit has been great. We had a premature baby and the extra padding and seat adjustments have been wonderful. It is extremely easy to use, adjust, and cleans easily. I am a pediatric emergency room nurse and this is the only carseat that I would recommend. The extra padding means that the baby is snug and secure. Other seats require adding additional padding, support in order for the harnesses to fit appropriately.

We love the button to loosen the shoulder straps...it is easily accessible and makes getting our son in and out easy. He was in this seat for 14 months and could have been in it longer. The padding and fabric holds up to multiple washes. The matching stroller is easy to use and maneuver.

I absolutely love this carseat. The front strap makes it a breeze to adjust the harness. Every time we take our son out, we use that strap to loosen the harness so it's a lot easier to get him out. And when it's time to put him back in, you just pull on the strap. You can't put a price on your child's safety; it's not that expensive. I haven't had to clean it, so I don't know how that would be. I'm sure just some warm soapy water would do the trick. Every time we go for a ride, he is out like a light; it looks very comfortable for him. I have a Jeep Wrangler (getting rid of soon) so it is a very tight fit in the backseat. If it were not for the base that the seat snaps down into, we would not go any where in my Jeep because I would not crawl back there to strap him in with the seat belt. The base is wonderful! My son is 9 weeks old, weighs 15 1/2 pounds, and is 24 1/2 inches long, so the only bad part is that he is growing out of it fast. I wish they made a bigger version of this seat!
