 "Baby car seat" 2010-09-19
By SouthernTransplant
A great improvement on the car seats I had for my older children. It's so easy to get it in and out of the car and to put it on my stroller frame. Nicer colours would be good, and a better sunshade - I can't find one to buy for it. Also a raincover for those of us who live in the NW. I would buy it again, and I recommend it to everyone who asks.

 "Some things to consider...." 2010-08-28
By SnarkySmurf (USA)
I would think the best measure of a car seat would be how it performs in a crash. Fortunately for me (and unfortunately for this review) I can't speak to that... but I can tell you about some of the less dramatic features of this car seat. Disclaimer... this isn't EXACTLY the model we have (we do have a Chicco keyfit 30 but it is an earlier year/color combo) so they may have addressed these issues but I would take a long look at these features before purchasing.



1) The sun visor. On the other car seat we've used the visor could be positioned however you needed it to be. On this car seat it is connected to the top of the seat and does NOT work in any other position. What does that mean? Well, in our case it means if you are driving with the child in the back of your car and they are facing the rear (like they are supposed to) and the sun is behind you, the sun is directly in their eyes and the visor on this seat cannot be repositioned to help you in any way. This happens to me EVERY DAY as I drive to and from daycare. I've attached a blanket with some duct tape to keep the sun out of my child's eyes, but really... should that be necessary?



2) The head rest attaches through the top two holes on for the seat belts. What does that mean? Well, once your child reaches a certain size the head rest has to come out for the belts to be correctly positioned making their ride that much less comfortable.



He seems comfortable enough in there and everything so this isn't a BAD seat... but certainly nothing I would recommend buying. Bottom line is from my point of view this is NOT the seat to buy.

I recently had a Peg Perego and that was so ridiculously heavy I had to buy a new car seat. This is the best one I have found! It is modern looking, the safest on the market, SO easy to install, and my daughter looks very comfortable in it. I also love that the weight max is 30 lbs instead of the usual 22lbs. You will not regret this purchase!

 "baby looks to be very comfortable" 2010-01-05
By Lori L. Gimenez
We really love this car seat and it seems our baby does too. The extra infant padding needs to be taken out for the baby to stay comfortable...probably when the baby is around 10 lbs or a little before then. Otherwise you will get a fussy uncomfortable baby who doesn't appear to fit very well in the seat. Make sure you adjust the straps too as the baby grows and everything will fit great for the baby.



We've had our baby sleep in it during the night too on occasion...going 6+ hour stretches sleeping in this seat. Definitely is a great seat!

By Mike (Bay Area, CA)
Purchased this as the 2nd base to put in our other car. Very happy with the KeyFit so far. Base is very easily installed using the LATCH system. My wife insisted on having it checked out by the local PD, and it was fine. Given that I am not mechanically inclined, the fact that I got it installed correctly in a few minutes shows how easy it is to use. Audible clicks when the seat locks into place are nice. The one item on the actual car seat that could be improved is the canopy. A bigger canopy with better coverage would be nice. We end up draping a towel or blanket over the handle for additional protection.

 "great travel system" 2010-04-06
By marge (Texas, US)
This is the only one stroller and car seat system I own, but I did research a long time before the purchase.

I went to local stores to see and feel other brands, but they don't have enough cushion, most with just one layer of fabric over plastic on the infant car seat and I'm not sure I want to put my baby in it. And the stroller, it's so easy to steer/maneuver, I'm strolling my baby inside my house every day and never had a problem turning around corners and narrow hallways (sure I do outside as well when it's not too hot or cold).



Also my baby likes staying seated in the stroller, I can leave her buckled in for a good 20min. and she even naps in there :-) thanks to the reclining seat.

 "Best Purchase I made" 2010-02-07
By Christina M. Bacci (Lansdale, PA)
I will admit, I did not buy this travel system right at the beginning. I started with a different stroller and carseat that I ended up being unhappy with. I love the Chicco travel system for many reasons.



It is extremely sturdy and safe for my baby. My baby likes the carseat and is very comfortable in it (he did not like the first carseat I purchased). The stroller is easy to fold. And while the stroller is a little bit heaveier and bulkier than I would like it to be, I now feel it is worth it because it is so sturdy.



The only thing I would change about the car seat is that I would make the sun shade bigger. And the only thing I would change about the stroller is that I would have a velcro cover for the window in the top because my friends baby got a sunburn through it. She told me about that so I keep a blanket over the window so that it does not happen to my baby.

 "Great car seat, stroller a bit flimsy..." 2009-12-30
By Wes Bernard (Christchurch, New Zealand)
I researched for ages before deciding on the Chicco travel system. There was a lot to like about it..

1) the stroller was relatively light

2) easy to fold, while not quite one touch, folding is a painless process. My wife saw that as the main selling point when we were trying to chose. You do have to make sure the handle is in the right place to make it easier though.

3) maneuverable, very easy to get around on smooth pavement.

4) the infant seat clicks in very easily, you do again have to make sure the stroller's handle is in the correct position

5) the infant car seat fits easily in the base with a very reassuring click. You know it is locked in

6) while little bubs may not look comfortable to me, he sleeps very easily in the seat. Pretty much immediately after I put him in he falls asleep.

7) easy to tighten and sdjust the straps on the infant seat.



Now the dislikes of the stroller

1)very flimsy stroller, it looks cheaply made

2)not a fan of the plastic wheels, they get stuck on every curb and the stroller bounces a lot on anything that is not smooth pavement. I think it is a reflection of the wheels, too small so they limit where you can go with them

3) not much padding on the stroller.

4) The stroller takes up a lot of room in the trunk when folded, we have a VW Passat, and while not the largest trunk in the world, I did not expect not so little trunk space left!

5) Not sure we have a dodgy one but the front wheels sometimes lock themselves.



To be honest, this stroller will not last, while I am a fan of the infant seat, I do not see us with this stroller for very long. We will use the infant seat, which I am a huge fan until he grows out of it then move on to something else. So all in all it is worth 4 stars for the convenience of the travel system and the fact that our little one seems to like being in the infant seat. I am a bit concerned regarding the amount of padding on the seat after we remove the infant insert. For the price of the stroller and the seat, it is a great buy.

 "Amazing Car Seat; very durable and so easy to use." 2009-10-25
By G. Engler (Seattle, WA)
We thought long and hard about which car seat to get. We settled on this one for the following reasons:

1) the minimum weight for the seat is 4lbs, we never thought we would have a medical emergency when we purchased the seat, but we did. Our daughter was born just over 5lbs. Hospitals require that all children under 6lbs do a oxygen test in the car seats to check if the position of the car seat hinders any oxygen supply for small infants. This car seat passed with flying colors and the nurse noted that only a handful of Graco car seats ever passed.

2) It is made out of quality durable material-- some of the graco car seat fabric seemed really cheap. It also very easy to clean.

3) The adjustments are very easy, just one easy pull. So easy-- none of that fliping the seat over and adjusting straps.

4) it was very nice looking seat, we still really admire it.

5) fits in all grocery cars

6) the infant inserts seemed very comfy and they did a great job holding the head steady.



Also, we thought the only negative to the seat was that the weight is only up to 22lbs. However, this turned out to NOT be an issue. Our daughter was just around 22lbs on her first birthday and i cannot imagine trying to carry a child over 22lbs in a car seat, that will be so heavy. Plus children already walk.

 "Great travel system!" 2010-01-30
By Mandi
I really have no major complaints about this system, having had a Graco travel system with my oldest child I definitely prefer this system to the Graco one. The car seat is a bit bigger/heavier, but honestly they are all heavy/bulky. After the newborn stage I really don't like lugging around an infant seat at all, no matter what brand/style.

I have only two minor complaints. #1 and the most irritating is when you have the infant seat snapped on the stroller (which is not hard at ALL, you just pop it in like you do with the carseat base in the car...of course you need to make sure the seat is reclined fully but it's like that with EVERY travel system out there) you can't easily reach the basket, at least not enough to get in/out of a diaper bag. It's open just enough where I can put some shopping bags with clothes in it. I can't really complain too much because this made me get a bag that I can attach to the handle of the stroller and I'm glad I did, it's so much easier than having to reach down under the stroller to get things. #2, it is hard to figure out how to open/close without reading the manual. I had read the manual while pregnant but honestly didn't read much having to do with the stroller because I figured it was just a stroller, what could be so hard. So when I misplaced the manual and arrived at the mall for my first shopping trip after baby I could NOT figure out how to open the stroller. Later I went home and watched a youtube video review to figure it out. Now that I know how, it's so easy, but yes figuring it out when you are used to other types of strollers can be hard...just read the manual.

My son is 7 weeks old (and 9lbs) and still fits in the car seat very well, he was 5.5lbs leaving the hospital and it fit well then too. I think we are about to move to the second strap setting, but remember when babies are rear facing the straps NEED to be below baby's shoulders. The straps adjust pretty easily too. I just love how the base works with the latch system so easily too, hook it up, press a button and the base is in the car nice and tight. My husband installed it in December during a snowstorm in Wisconsin in the hospital parking lot in less than 5 minutes. I can only comment on using the stroller with the car seat so far, but it glides very smooth and easy. I can easily push it one handed while carrying a cranky baby.

One more minor complaint that I almost forgot, the sunshade on the car seat is very small. Since it's winter I usually have a blanket over the car seat when we are outside anyways so this hasn't bothered me yet but I can see how it might become irritating.

We love this stroller and cart seat. Although a little on the heavy and awkward side when folded up, it really does open with one hand and all the adjustments to the system are really easy to do. Car seat comes in and out with one hand release and snaps into the base easily. Certainly worth the money from other travel systems.

 "Best product for your child!" 2010-01-13
By Shardul Rao (USA)
I bought this product based on consumer report's excellent review. After using it for 5+ months I know why the rated it higher. This is a well built, easy to use and safe product for your kid. Sure there are cheaper alternatives available, but you wouldn't settle for those at the cost of your baby's safety, would you?

The only suggestion I have to the manufacturer is to improve the documentation. None of their products were easy to put together (except car seat which doesn't need any assembly).

 "It may be rated "safest" but..." 2010-01-07
By J Klay (Chicago, IL)
We bought the stroller as we trusted Consumer Reports and wanted the best for our baby. Our 1-month-old fit the car seat, but when he got bigger, we had to transfer him onto the stroller and he doesn't fit in it (9-month-old). Our son had dermatitis that went away after switching to a bigger car seat. Now I see other reviewers wrote it could be linked to the fabric of the car seat.

The bottom line:

+ adjustable handle

+ more or less easy to fold and place into the trunk



- rides like a tank, very hard on bumps, so hard it wakes up our sleeping baby in the stroller

-warning: do not place your coffee cup in the holder, it will spill on the bumps and burn your baby, I was lucky to have blanket over the top so it caught the spill

-constantly squeaks, no matter how much WD40 you use!

-no way you can push it in the snow, it just doesn't go

-brakes are inconsistent, once they lock both of the wheels, the other time-just one

-the straps are too loose, even in the tightest position

-additional compartment next to the cup holder makes a loud clicking noise when opening, very annoying



I didn't want to pay more for better strollers, but now will pay double as I can't stand pushing this stroller anymore and looking into a different stroller. I do a lot of city walking.

I hardly have time for reviews, but felt I had to leave this one. That is how bad I feel about the stroller.

 "Best Infant Seat Out There" 2010-01-20
By Alison Kern (Nebraska, USA)
We have used this infant seat with our 3-month-old son since the day we brought him home from the hospital, and we couldn't be happier. In fact, the hospital staff person who inspects carseats for all new parents said this is one of the best and safest models she's seen. It is easy to install and use, and the super simple adjustable straps are a lifesaver for getting the baby in and out with ease. The newborn insert helped him be more comfortable the first several weeks. The fabric is easy to clean and the simple colors (we have the Adventure green color) work well for either boys or girls, so we could reuse the seat if our next child is a girl.



The only real drawback we've found is the weight of the seat itself, which gets pretty hefty once you add the baby. If you have trouble lifting and plan to carry the baby around in the seat a lot, this would be a concern. But we mostly just take him from the house to the car and the car to wherever we're going in it, so it's not a big deal.



Also, be aware that the seat does not have the notch on the underside that Graco and some others do to allow it to sit up on the child-seat area of a shopping cart. We set him down in the basket of the cart, which takes up a lot of the space but is also safer. The instructions advise against putting the carseat up on the cart like that anyway.



I doubt I'll be lugging him around in the seat when he's 30 pounds, but it's nice to be able to continue to use it as a rear-facing carseat for a longer time than the standard seats with 22 pound limits. Considering the fact that our son is 16 pounds at 3 months, getting the seat with the higher weight limit was a good move for us.



Overall, we highly recommend this carseat. We did a lot of research and Chicco seats come out on top for safety and ease of use in many studies and reviews. It's worth the extra money to have the best product for something you use every day, especially when it could save your baby's life in case of a car accident.

 "Does not fit in Prius" 2010-01-20
By aryn
I purchased this car-seat based on the wonderful reviews I read here and elsewhere including Consumer Reports. It really does seem like a comfortable seat - far more plush than the other carrier seats I examined - but unfortunately is too large to fit in my 2009 Prius. The base hangs over the edge of the seat by a good 2". Luckily, I tried to install it the same day it arrived and was able to return it quickly and without fuss. We ended up purchasing a Britax Boulevard, which seems must larger, but fits comfortably in the middle of the back seat.

 "Excellent seat" 2009-12-11
By Charlie's mom (Chicago, IL)
This seat has lasted until 7 months, and would go a little longer. My son is about 20 pounds, but is growing out of the height range. I have been very happy with this car seat! The pads wash very well, even after spit-ups and diaper blow-outs. You would never know to look at the pads. It clicks into the base easily and is very simple to install. A t the hospital they preferred this one because it lays newborns back a little more. remember to take the newborn insert out when your child reaches the appropriate size, and adjust the strap heights. This is VERY easy to do.



This car seat is heavy and I almost never carry him in it. I don't know how it compares to other seats, but add a 10-20 pound baby and it's too much for me. I use a Maclaren Easy Traveller (much recommended over the coordinating Chicco travel system strollers) to get him everywhere. Put the seat in the frame, put the baby in, and go. The only time I lift the seat is to get it from the stroller frame inside the car.



I would buy this seat again, but leave out the Cortina stroller.

By A. Bofferding (Austin, TX)
My husband and I originally purchased this on the recommendation of a friend. We liked the way it looked and it had pretty good reviews. We knew it was for safety, but I was attracted to the style and extended use (due to it lasting up to 30 lbs). Now our baby is 6 months old and on her second Chicco Keyfit 30 car seat.



We were in an accident when she was 5 months old and rolled our SUV one and a half times, landing upside down. She stayed put - she started crying but there wasn't a scratch on her, thank God. As a precaution we took her by ambulance to Dell Children's Hospital, but she checked out OK with all of the doctors there. They told us to keep doing what we had been doing, and that the car seat not only saved her life, but saved her from minor/serious injury. Our doctor also told us that having your child in an infant seat as long as possible is the best way to keep them safe.



We went onto Amazon the next day and ordered the exact same car seat (you have to replace ANY car seat after an accident). Here's a pros/cons list from our use so far:



Cons:



- Hot, low air-flow fabric (we live in Austin and she does sweat in it during the summer)

- Size makes it sit higher in grocery cart "seat" section than other car seats

- Ummm, I can't really think of another con :)



Pros:



- Stays locked right-side-up and up-side-down in accidents

- Lasts up to 30 lbs instead of 25 lbs like other seats

- Totally washable (she's projectile vomited in it *and the keyfit stroller* 3 times, and I've machine washed every bit of it)

- The base makes it easy to take in and out of your car without unstrapping the baby (my in-laws LOVED this feature)

- Stays put with either the seat locks or a seat belt securing it (the base was secured with a seat belt in the accident)

- Level on base and instructions on base make installation easy (you don't even have to refer to the manual)

- Ability to lock into the stroller makes shopping trips easier

Awesome price for an extra base for Grandma's car!!!! Definitely worth buying from Amazon and not having to go brave the lines and hassle of a retail store and saved over $10 in the process!!!

 "Best carseat" 2009-12-17
By C Fobian (Alameda)
You just pop the carseat into the base and go. No juggling, adjusting etc after initial install. Great- enough said.

What more can I say other than ... quick to install & very easy in/out with the carrier. After using it for three months I still love it and appreciate it's sturdy design.

 "Does what it's supposed to. Easy to install." 2009-12-10
By nice guy (Connecticut)
This car seat base does what it's supposed to do - hold the carseat in place. It's got built-in leveling bubbles to assist with proper install. It can be installed via LATCH, lap belt, or shoulder/lap belt. I've tried all 3 and had no issues. What more can I say? If you have a Chicco KeyFit or KeyFit 30, this is a great additional base.

 "Good Base" 2009-12-09
By Chris Wilson
Needed an extra base for the Chicco Keyfit 30. It works as well as the first one. Easy to use and to level. Has latch system which makes it easy to install and take out. The Keyfit 30 is a great system that will keep you child safe.
