What makes this car seat special is it offers two modes — one for infants and one for toddlers. No other infant car seat works as long as this hardworking car seat. How does a base with two modes sound to you? The Fit2 includes a dedicated infant mode and a toddler position, too. Converting is as simple as lifting a lever to change the position. Now babies can stay in the infant mode up to the first year and in the toddler mode for the second year of their life.
Read the bubbles to level the car seat quickly and accurately. No need to spend thirty minutes getting the seat just right. As the seat has a toddler mode and a high weight limit, you can use the car seat longer. The base also offers a little bit more legroom too for taller kiddos.
Because rear-facing longer is better, this is the go-to car seat. Not only does the KeyFit 35 offer four color choices, but it holds more weight, too. Babies up to 35 pounds or 35 inches long can use this car seat for longer. The base is next level with the easiest to install base available. It comes with a SuperCinch tightener and level indicators.
Next, the base includes an anti-rebound bar and two stages. Also, you get five recline positions and a lock-sure steel reinforcement making it ultra-safe. The anti-rebound par provides extra space for your infant. Of course, the bar also adds stability and keeps your baby space, but for families with long legs, this is a necessity. Since the car seat can hold a child up to 35 pounds, the added space definitely helps.
A luxury option in a car seat is an extendable headrest. Meet the KeyFit 35 , which offers this fantastic feature with room for children up to 32 inches tall. Are you going in a car without a base? No worries! The KeyFit 35 offers on-the-go belt routing with 3 points of contact. The canopy also offers privacy so your baby can sleep with ease.
It blocks out all whether making it the perfect option. However, it does support babies from 4 pounds up to 30 pounds and up to 30 inches long. Also, the car seat is lightweight at just nine and a half pounds.
Pick from several color options with the KeyFit 30 , all in neutral tones. The modern color designs blend well into cars and make life beautiful. The base is the best part of this car seat. First, it comes with a spring-loaded leveling foot for proper angling. Second, it comes with easy-to-read level indicators to ensure the right fit. Third, the car seat comes with a SuperCinch Tightener for a tight and secure fit.
All this from a stay-in-the-car base with easy one-hand removal. You can buy extra bases for multiple vehicles. With the insert, the younger infants will fit more comfortably.
When your baby is older, remove the insert and move on with your life. Nothing is more annoying than trying to adjust a harness on a car seat. Simply pull the strap at the bottom to get a snuff fit or push the orange button for more space.
Another great feature is the car seat clicks into most Chicco strollers. Find the stroller of your choice, and away you go. You can even find travel systems with the car seat too. It comes with everything in the KeyFit 30 but with a couple of new advantages that warrant the slight price increase for some parents. The main draw to the KeyFit 30 Zip advanced car seat is the ventilated canopy.
Not only is the canopy extendable, but it has a zip-open mesh window. This allows for increased airflow and acts as a peek-a-boo window when the seat is in a stroller. Next, the car seat comes with a boot to act as a blanket. Create a cozy environment that zips open for easy access.
No more tucking blankets around the baby when you can use this much safer option instead. It does weigh ten pounds, making it slightly heavier than the other KeyFit options. However, it offers a great function for a small price increase. With this car seat, you get better airflow for babies who run hot. Elevated airflow channels for improved ventilation right where babies need more breathability. Your baby can have more shade to help them sleep longer. Use the zipper to peek in on your baby, too, when in the stroller.
The book is improved too with a complete lay-over. Instead of down the middle, the zipper is on the side to give added warmth and comfort. All of their options work for up to 40 pounds in rear-facing and up to 65 pounds in forward-facing mode.
However, only one of the options has cup holders and comes with a space-saving design. Also, a few of the options just do not offer enough advantages to warrant the price, leaving us with two models we love and two options we can live without.
The NextFit Zip is a fantastic convertible car seat ready to work from birth as it can support a baby from five pounds up. The price is reasonable for the product and will last for years. Also, the small size makes it a great option for babies and toddlers. You can use the NextFit Zip car set in rear-facing mode for babies from 5 to 40 pounds.
The base can be used whether you have the car seat in the infant rear-facing position or toddler seat configuration. Speaking of getting the car seat installed correctly, this one has bubble level indicators to get it at just the right angle every time.
He just seems more comfortable in it! It is well made with good fabric. It is extremely well made with high quality materials and very generously padded, in fact, the best cushioned seat we could find in the market. It has an easily adjustable one handed handle that comes in handy when carrying the baby. It is also very stylish and eye catching, we also bought the Bravo stroller and this works fantastic with it, we simply removed the seat that was on the Bravo and our Fit2 snapped right in.
Our three month old has gone on 12 hour road trip and an eight hour road trip in it plus day to day travel. The shoulder pads are really nice to keep the seat belt straps from hurting her neck as we tighten and loosen them. Laurin on Amazon. After five months of wrestling with a Maxi Cosi Capsule, this seat is a dream to install and use. Best of all, the baby seems much happier in this seat. Win win!
It might be hard to figure out which car seat is best for your little one at first glance. It might not be designed for children as big as those who can use the Chicco Fit2 , but it is more lightweight and it can still be used as a reliable infant car seat right from the start. Since it is an infant car seat, you can also easily carry it by the convenient handle and because it weighs less than 18 pounds on its own, most parents will find it easy to carry and transport it.
The KeyFit 30 is made to be easy to install, easy to adjust, and safe and comfortable for your growing baby. As you can see, the modifications are minor but can make a world of difference in a busy schedule.

Most of its owners are now probably just putting their hands on the product for the very first time, so it might take some time until they share their opinions and thoughts online.
Although this car seat is relatively bulky, manipulation with it is quite easy and intuitive. Most of those who already have some Chicco gear at home surely appreciate that this car seat perfectly fits into their seat-compatible stroller frame. Although the anti-rebound bar makes this seat even bigger, reviewers claim that it fits very well even in cars that had difficulties housing some of the other infant seats.
Some parents, however, felt a bit unsure about the longer seat base that inevitably hangs off your seat into space. Some users were disappointed to learn that this car seat cannot be used with inflatable seat belts that are commonly installed in some car makes. This infant car seat embodies the perfect blend of safety, reliability, sleek design, and user-friendly features when it comes to seats for the smallest babies.
It was — and still is — highly rated for both its looks and protective features. Just like KeyFit 35, KeyFit 30 is also one of those car seats that grow with your baby. However, its weight lbs and height 30 inches limits are stricter than with the newer model, which might be a bit discouraging especially for parents of heavier, larger, or particularly fast-growing babies. Again, this car seat has a removable soft nest for the tiniest babies, which is richly padded and comfortable.
This car seat is also compatible with various travel strollers by Chicco. They are very easy to assemble — the manufacturer strived to make the process manageable with one hand only, although heavier construction of the car seat probably makes this a bit difficult.
This car seat is also FAA-approved, so you can take it aboard an airplane. Just like KeyFit 35, KeyFit 30 is also very beautiful and elegant. However, if you compare the two side by side, the newer model 35 looks a bit more attractive and contemporary with its prolonged lines and rounded geometry.
If you like unisex designs, this car seat comes in 11 beautiful gender-neutral variations of gray, brown, black, and silver. My personal favorite is the lovely polka-dotted Lilla design.
