Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Chicco Key Fit has a large weight range for infants ranging from 4 to 22 pounds, letting you get the most out of the seat. It features an innovative latch management system, with easy belt routing and a spring loaded leveling foot to make this infant car seat the easiest car seat to install. The one pull centrally located tightening strap has made tightening the latch attachment simple. Its wide belt routing loops with a built in belt locking system means no more locking clips. Leveling the seat is easy with a spring loaded leveling foot and easy to read bubble, level guides on both sides of the base. The underside of base is enclosed to prevent damage to vehicle seats. The 5-point harness has an easy one pull tightening and loosening for a quick and accurate harness fit. The thickly padded infant insert gives extra support for a smaller baby around the head, neck, back and bottom. The carrier shell is lined with energy absorbing foam for improved impact protection. A retractable canopy gives added shade. This conforms to FMVSS 213. The Key Fit easily transfers from car to stroller in seconds and is compatible with the Chicco C1, Cortina, Trevi and S3 strollers.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Please ignore the one star review, March 31, 2008

Please ignore the reviewer who rated the seat one star due to the rebound issue. I am a certified child passenger safety technician and this is NOT a safety concern. Almost all rear facing seats will rebound in a crash. The only ones that won't are infant seats with rigid LATCH (the only one currently available in the US is the Baby Trend Latch-Loc with rigid LATCH) or one with an anti-rebound bar like the Britax Companion and convertible seats that tether rear facing (all Britax convertible seats, Sunshine Kids Radian, etc). As long as your seat moves less than an inch in any direction AT THE BELT PATH (i.e. on an infant seat with a base, right at the seat crack where the other poster said it was tight) it is safe. The Chicco KeyFit is a very good seat. It is without a doubt one of the best on the market currently. It installs like a dream and fits small babies very well. As a tech of seven years, I would not hesitate to recommend this seat or use it for my own child.

This review is from: Chicco Keyfit 30 Infant Car Seat, Adventure (Baby Product)

I did a lot of research on infant and convertible car seats before my daughter was born. We have a small two-door car, so I needed a narrow car seat that wasn't going to take up a huge amount of space. The Chicco Key Fit 30 fit the bill! (Although I did purchase the Extreme pattern, not the Adventure) It is a wonderful car seat, easily comes in and out of our small back seat and my daughter loves it. She is also a tall and slender baby, so the 30" height limit is great, as she would have grown out of other infant car seats already (at 6 months she's 25 inches and just 14 lbs). We were also involved in a car accident just a few weeks ago and the car seat kept my baby amazingly safe. While the rest of us were in pain from the accident, my baby was all smiles. Sadly we have to replace the original seat, but will be buying the exact seat again. If you have a small car and want a well made, safe car seat, the Chicco Key Fit 30 is the one for you!

This is a great infant car seat. As stated in the description, you're able to keep your baby in a much safer rear-facing position for a longer period of time. In the event of a crash, what this means is that your baby's body won't take the brunt of the impact, the seat will do most of the work.

Originally, I was considering more flashy and expensive European car seats, but then I spoke with my neighbor. Part of her responsibilities in working for our local police force involves helping parents properly install their car seats. She let me know that many of the infant car seats on the market aren't worth the hype, but she highly recommended the Chicco Keyfit 30 for the reasons I stated in the paragraph above.

Indeed she was right. Not only is this clearly very well constructed, including neat details such as bubble levels on the base, but it's also stylish and functional as well. Most importantly, it's a snap to install... PROPERLY! And that's a feature not many other car seats can boast.
