I have three kids and i have tried different car seats but i decided to stay with chicco.
My first chicco was the bravo travel system which i bought in the philippines. It was the 2021 model that came with the key fit car seat, base and the bravo stroller. The travel system carried my first born through multiple trips from the Philippines to different countries and was passed on to be used by our second child. It was very convenient to use since the stroller is very smooth and very…

Highlights

- Weight capacity: 4-30 lbs
- Includes rear-facing infant car seat & base
Description
This Chicco infant car seat offers more headrest height and legroom for extended rear-facing use. It also comes with a machine-washable, zip-off seat pad for easier cleanup.
Made with ClearTex flame retardant-free materials, the KeyFit Max Zip ClearTex is also GREENGUARD Gold Certified for low chemical emissions, contributing to healthier air quality around baby.
The one-hand carry handle adjustment easily moves the handle out of the way, providing easy access to get baby in and out of the car seat. The UPF 50+ canopy features a zip-open, full-coverage privacy shield.
A 5-position Easy-Extend Headrest System raises with the harness to accommodate growth up to 32” tall, allowing you to keep baby 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 weighing 4-11 lbs.
The car seat carrier clicks effortlessly into the included stay-in-car car seat base and compatible Chicco strollers for easy, 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 a proper car seat angle. The LockSure steel-reinforced belt system also helps with a secure installation with the vehicle belt.
When traveling or on-the-go, integrated European belt routing provides 3-points of contact for a secure, carrier-only install.

Disappointed in return process
We requested to return this item within 24 hours of receiving it, only to find out that shipping it back would cost over $100 through FedEx or UPS. It's just absurd that such a well-known company wouldn't cover the shipping costs. Especially considering we intended on return returning this car seat so we could purchase a travel system, which would've given the company even more money.

Great for newborn
This car seat is super safe, comfortable, and easy to install. The ClearTex fabric is a huge plus—soft, breathable, and free of added flame retardants. I love the added zip-off canopy, and the padding is cozy for newborns and growing babies. I love the rebound bar for more stability and leg room, and installation on the go without the base is easy and feels secure.
However, it's on the heavier side, I think about 10lbs. My baby is only 16lbs and I struggle to carry him in it. On the…

Nice car seat
The car seat seems quite sturdy, and the base is very convenient. The fabric and newborn insert feel soft to the touch, and the quality seems to be good. The installation process took us about 30 minutes because we are first-time parents. Overall, we are very pleased with this car seat.

Easy to use
This car seat was so easy to install, and took no time to get in and out of the car. I noticed that it was comfortable to hold as well and didn't strain my arm when carrying it. The texture of the fabric feels soft and breathable. I just love how effortless it felt to remove, making it super easy for travel.

Overall great carseat!
Overall it is a nice car seat. Not too heavy to carry, love the full privacy canopy, feels very cushioned and safe for our baby. I thought the handle felt like it was getting stuck on the canopy when you were moving it up and down. It is great having the option to install without a base for travel purposes.

Fantastic Product
We got this as an extra car seat for our newborn daughter. I love the material and overall design. It was so easy to install and works perfectly with the Chicco stroller that we already have. The built-in canopy is a must have feature; no more remembering to bring a separate cover, or trying to keep a blanket overtop during winter weather. This has quickly become our primary car seat and we are so glad to have it!

Amazing Infant Car Seat
We got this a few weeks ago as first-time parents, and it made installation incredibly easy and stress-free. We were initially nervous about choosing a brand, but after a lot of research, we kept coming back to Chicco—and we’re so glad we did! This car seat fits perfectly into our Chicco Bravo stroller and was a seamless fit in both of our vehicles. Highly recommend to friends and family!

Great car seat
We had the KeyFit Cleartex 35 previously and this is such a nice upgrade! I immediately noticed how much more comfortable it looked. I really love the privacy feature - it’s easy to get on with a simple design. I also love the vent in the back, especially when the privacy shield is down so that my baby doesn’t get too hot. Would recommend this!
