5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely the best infant seat, period!, January 8, 2008
This review is from: Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat - Atmosphere (Baby Product)
I had the original KeyFit infant seat for my daughter and we were just in a crash 4 days ago. It was 40mph head on crash and my airbag deployed. My baby was perfectly safe in her KeyFit and I am so thankful to Chicco for making a superb car seat. I replaced it with the new KeyFit 30 and couldn't be more thrilled. If there is one good thing that came out of the accident, it's that I got the new KeyFit30. All the great features of the original and now rated to 30 lbs! After being in the accident, I definitely want to keep my daughter rear-facing as long as possible. Chicco also addressed what was the only complaint I had on the original seat - the canopy didn't stay open and wasn't big enough. Now it stays open like it should and they added the extra visor part. Perfect! The only downside to the new KeyFit 30 is the color choices - I liked my grey and green original colors better, but you can't complain when everything else about this seat is perfect. The fabric is super easy to keep clean and I have not had a problem with my baby sweating in it like some other reviews have stated (and we do get hot summers, but I do also have A/C in my car). The ease of installing the seat and of getting baby in and out is great. I will say that in some cars the LATCH attachment isn't the best fit, and it's better just to install the base with the seatbelt (the case w/my Toyota Matrix). Really there are no faults with this seat and I am so thrilled that it now can hold my daughter until 30 lbs (which will be quite a while as she is on the small side)! Absolutely my highest recommendation on this car seat!

A breeze to install, very sturdy and comfortable, October 4, 2007
This review is from: Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat - Atmosphere (Baby Product)
We were in a car accident and had to replace our Graco SafeSeat. We decided to go with this seat because of the promised ease of installation. Our SafeSeat took quite a while to install and never really seemed secure. This seat was so easy! I installed it in less than five minutes and it is very secure. You just snap the LATCH connecters (which are cleverly designed and easy to use) onto the hooks in your car and then pull a single strap coming out of the middle of the base. The seat itself seems sturdy and comfortable. My 15 month-old has been asleep in it for over an hour this morning. She hadn't slept that long in her Graco seat since she was around 6 months old. We love this seat!

KeyFit-30 Seatpad Poor Quality, August 22, 2008
This review is from: Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat - Atmosphere (Baby Product)
Purchased a KeyFit-30 in Atmosphere for my son on 07/28/08 and used it for about one-week... The seat emits strong foam/fabric fumes for the first week. Outside of short vehicle trips, the seat stays in the patio so the odor can be "aired-out". Interested in finding the source of the fumes, I remove the canopy & seatpad from the seat core. To my surprise, there is ~4-inch tear with exposed holofil on the reverse-side of the seatpad (near the baby's "bottom"). Emailed Chicco customer service two-weeks ago... No signs of the replacement seatpad yet. The Chicco KeyFit-30 is simple to install in the SUV. The lock & unlock of the seat from its base is positive and natural (ergonomic-wise). The seat straps are easy-to-use (once you read the instructions & practice a few times). The seat works well with the BumbleRide Indie. These are attributes to the seat's excellent engineering. The smelly foam & easily-ripped fabric denotes poor quality control & inadequate quality assurance at the manufacture locale (China).
