ChiccoKeyFit® 35 ClearTex® Infant Car Seat and Base, Rear-Facing Seat for Infants 4-35 lbs., Includes Infant Head and Body Support, Compatible with Chicco Strollers, Baby Travel Gear | Cove/Grey

We started with a cheaper seat. The insert was too big and my premie did not comfortably fit in it. I did some more research and settled on this seat. As you can see my tiny baby fit comfortably in it with the newborn insert and it has grown with her. This seat is super sturdy and was a breeze to install. It’s is heavier than the last car seat but feels much safer which is a fair trade off in my book.

This carseat is made of great quality and has the perfect amount of newborn support. It's moderatly light and comes out of the base easily. Installation of the base was a breeze.

I love this seat!it is simple to use, with adapter for stroller - easy use for short walking with baby

I bought this car seat after choosing a cheaper option that did not fit well in our car (Safety 1st LTX.) The Chicco KeyFit 35 was MUCH easier to install, was perfectly level, and fit really well. Overall it seemed sturdier and safer than our first pick. This car seat is worth spending a little more money to get something safe, easy to install, and quality. We have a 2013 Ford Escape and installed in the middle back seat.

This is the second time I’ve purchased this very car seat. It is super sturdy, comfortable and I trust it with my baby’s life. It’s also compatible with other stroller brands, I’m currently using the mockingbird 2.0 with the car seat adapter, and it is a perfect system for my two year old and newborn.

This car seat has been amazing! My baby is 8 months old and still uses this car seat. The base is very sturdy and overall it is amazing quality. There is an insert for newborns which was very useful as well as the shoulder straps. I’ve loved this car seat and at this rate it will last for my second child as well.

This seat is well worth the investment to have something that is extremely safe, easy to use, looks sharp, and will outlast other systems with its slightly higher weight rating. The learning curve on using this seat is very easy, and installation is a snap once you’ve sorted out the latch points in your vehicle for the base, which is included. There are also easy-to-follow instructions for installation without the base, if you may be traveling in someone else’s vehicle. The interoperability with stroller systems is very nice as well. The sun shade is nice and much bigger than expected and does a very good job of protecting our girl from the sun, especially in combination with the stroller system: the two combined interlock and provide 100% coverage. The seat is going to start showing markings quickly: every bump and every rub will leave a mark, but it is cosmetic and isn’t a big deal, and most can be cleaned off with a damp rag. Overall, the travel system is a solid set and a good choice for people willing to spend the money for a solid, reliable, and safe system over a bargain product.The major con is that it is a little large: while it isn’t too heavy, the size and latch positioning make it a little difficult to take out of smaller cars. Our mid-size sedan requires us to move the passenger seat back and forth to accommodate space to unlatch the car seat. However, this is a trade off we expected for getting a car seat designed to last longer, and so it isn’t something I would lower a rating because of. It alto requires two hands to hit two switches in order to adjust the handle position, and the handle is a tight fit over the sun shade, but these issues really only occur when the seat is empty or else you’re finishing putting it in or about to take it out of the car, in which case you should have both hands free anyway. Again, the safety this adds is f the handle not accidentally swinging free while carrying it outweighs the challenge this provides.

A well made car seat that transports easily. My car peed in the seat, and taking it apart to clean was a breeze. I appreciate the sturdiness and the ability to wash everything. The Chicco ecosystem is nice and convenient. I like having the bases in multiple cars for quickly transferring baby in and out of each car.
