About

The Chicco Kidfit Zip is part of the Car Seats test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Booster Seat models like the Kidfit Zip are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Crash protection/Belt fit highback: A rating that combines the potential for highback boosters to limit injury and movement in a crash based on simulated frontal crash tests and the potential for the seat to provide a good belt fit in various vehicles using child sized dummies.

Crash protection/Belt fit backless: A rating that combines the potential for backless boosters to limit injury and movement in a crash based on simulated frontal crash tests and the potential for the seat to provide a good belt fit in various vehicles using child sized dummies.

Booster fit (with back): A rating that reflects a booster seat's ability to correctly position the lap and shoulder belts in various test vehicles using a child-sized dummy, when used as a highback booster. Additionally, it includes an assessment of the booster's compatibility with vehicle seats and interior components.
