Description

This Chicco infant car seat offers more headrest height and legroom to comfortably maximize rear-facing use.

Featuring ClearTex flame retardant-free materials, KeyFit Max ClearTex is also GREENGUARD Gold Certified for low chemical emissions, contributing to healthier air quality around baby.

The easy-adjust carry handle raises and lowers with one hand for easy access while securing and removing your baby from the car seat.

The 5-position, Easy-Extend Headrest System raises with the harness to accommodate growth up to 32” tall, allowing you to keep little ones in the same rear-facing car seat longer. The integrated anti-rebound bar provides added stability for every ride while offering extended legroom.

A removable, ergonomic newborn positioner provides added support for infants 4-11 lbs.

The car seat carrier clicks into the included stay-in-car base and compatible Chicco strollers for streamlined travel.

Premium LATCH connectors and a SuperCinch Force-Multiplying LATCH Tightener help achieve a secure fit with a fraction of the effort. One-hand ReclineSure spring-loaded leveling foot works in tandem with RideRight bubble levels for proper car seat angle. The LockSure steel-reinforced belt system also helps with a secure vehicle belt installation.

When traveling or on-the-go, integrated European belt routing provides 3-points of contact for a secure, carrier-only install.

A+ customer service
Our car does not have the latches that were described for installation so we were very confused. We were transferred to Courtney, who FaceTimed us to help fit the car seat into our 1996 car. She was so helpful and eased our anxieties. Car seat is great and simple but customer service was outstanding!

Everything but the canopy
Overall seems like a good car seat, but I am not at all impressed with the canopy. It does not pull tight and is very droopy. I already confirmed with support that this is correct so a little disappointed in that being that I will be using the canopy constantly.

Great Car Seat!
What a great product! Easy to use and install, as well as, easy to get on and off the base. The material is durable and the car seat is very well made, with the bonus of being easy to wipe off!

Highly recommend!
We absolutely love our Chicco infant car seat! We are onto baby #4 and got rid of all our Graco products and are officially a Chicco family! The fabric is soft yet durable (and easy to clean, which is a huge plus). The sleek design is just the cherry on top. It is lighter weight than our previous infant seat but sturdy, I’d recommend this to any new parent looking for a reliable, stylish, and safe car seat!

Good car seat
I am enjoying the carseat, it is easy to install and has good safety ratings. Material is soft and has a snug fit. Has room for baby to grow with the seat.

Everything you need but not overcomplicated
I thought my last chicco carseat was great but this one is even better! It's not so fancy that it's hard to figure out. It's just simple and easy. I love the shade on this one because it provides a little more coverage. I always carry it on the side like the example pictures and have no problem with the shade down while I do that. If you carry it by the top of the handle then it is difficult with the shade all the way down. The one handle release is amazing! You can have your baby in one hand

Easy to Install!
I am very happy we decided to go with this product. We are first time parents and were very worried about the difficulty of installing a carseat, but it is very easy to use and install (which is great as we swap cars often). We love this carseat!

Love this product!
I am so excited about this carseat! I love the safety features and extra conveniences. My favorite convenience feature is the 1 hand release for the handle. This is sooo handy and makes picking up baby's seat while carrying groceries, bags, or even other kids in the other arm so much easier. Very happy with this product.

Reliable, Comfortable, and Easy to Use
This infant car seat has been a solid choice for our family. It offers more headrest height and legroom than others we’ve considered, which helps keep our baby comfortable and rear-facing longer—something that really matters to us.

What stood out most was how easy it is to install. Installation can be difficult. The safety features are intuitive, and we didn’t have to second-guess whether it was secure. That kind of simplicity is a big relief for any parent, especially of
