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 pounds

 Some things to consider... August 28, 2010

I would think the best measure of a car seat would be how it performs in a crash. Fortunately for me (and unfortunately for this review) I can't speak to that... but I can tell you about some of the less dramatic features of this car seat. Disclaimer... this isn't EXACTLY the model we have (we do have a Chicco keyfit 30 but it is an earlier year/color combo) so they may have addressed these issues but I would take a long look at these features before purchasing.
1) The sun visor. On the other car seat we've used the visor could be positioned however you needed it to be. On this car seat it is connected to the top of the seat and does NOT work in any other position. What does that mean? Well, in our case it means if you are driving with the child in the back of your car and they are facing the rear (like they are supposed to) and the sun is behind you, the sun is directly in their eyes and the visor on this seat cannot be repositioned to help you in any way. This happens to me EVERY DAY as I drive to and from daycare. I've attached a blanket with some duct tape to keep the sun out of my child's eyes, but really... should that be necessary?
2) The head rest attaches through the top two holes on for the seat belts. What does that mean? Well, once your child reaches a certain size the head rest has to come out for the belts to be correctly positioned making their ride less comfortable.
He seems comfortable enough in there and everything so this isn't a BAD seat... but certainly nothing I would recommend buying. Bottom line is from my point of view this is NOT the seat to buy.
 Love it! August 15, 2010

I've been using this travel system with the Keyfit 30 car seat for 4 months and I love it. The car seat is easy to get in and out of the car and easily snaps into the stroller. The stroller us easy to fold/unfold and navigates well. It also has ample storage. I'm very happy with this purchase.

2 months along I'm pretty happy this was the biggest splurge in our baby purchases, and that we rearranged our budget for it (pricey car seat, secondhand baby clothes) rather than buying a cheaper car seat. Considering how long we'll use it, and that it's so highly rated for safety and ease of use, it made more sense than spending a lot elsewhere.
The pros:
-- Highly Rated by Consumer Reports
-- Very easy, even for this car seat newbie
-- LOVE the newborn insert for babies under 10 lbs, since most aftermarket car seat additions for floppy newborns compromise the safety of the seat.
-- The Adventure fabric is indeed more breathable than some others
-- It rocks smoothly! It's easier to put baby to sleep by rocking his car seat on the floor, than in the swing and so on.
-- Little One seems very comfortable in it. It's a preferred napping spot out of the car (just be very aware of the danger of loose straps if you do this; I keep him buckled, or fold the straps underneath, add a blanket, and then put him in the seat.
-- We've had no problems with his head flopping around (from the size of 8.5 lbs, 21")
-- Pops into the base easily, making it simpler to mount it in the middle rear seat
The cons:
-- He does get a little bit sweaty in the seat (even though we ordered Adventure, which Chicco's customer service had said is a more breathable fabric). We combat this with a burp rag flat behind his back for one thin layer of wicking, and with a cloth (cotton) diaper with a wool cover (no synthetics). I can't imagine how uncomfortable he'd be in disposable diapers in it.
-- The canopy does not pull up or down well
-- It's immensely annoying to have to push buttons on both sides of the handle, to move the handle
-- No slot to set it on a grocery cart. True that's not the safest spot for the car seat but it'd be nice to let parents choose. Sometimes I want to set him there for just a minute, when the cart is not moving and nobody is moving near it (like in the checkout line).
-- The additional safety features do make it heavy
-- The base is frequently out of stock so take care to get the spare well before you need it
Amazing quality July 1, 2010

We bought this car seat three years ago and have used it with two babies now and it's of such amazing quality that we'll use it with our third baby. It honestly still looks as new. It installs easily, looks great, can be cleaned easily and most of all is sturdy and of good quality. Both my daughters loved to fall asleep in it. One of the best purchases we've made!
My wife loved it June 27, 2010

This is one of the best products we bought for our baby.
All the features are clear and really works.
Before buying it I checked all the similar products and and their respective reviews.
This one had many reviews and with the best average.
And this product deserve it.
Strongly recommend.
