Easy to love

Dcpr

I love this booster so much. It is so easy to install and my kids chose this over the more expensive graco model because the seats were more cushiony. I just wish they made some in lighter swatches like ivory to beige.

Nice product.

Roland

My daughter like the Belt-Positioning Booster.

Easy to use

BRaph

Easy to assemble, easy to install, love it so far

LOVE

Kassify

Easy to install and love the LATCH system for extra safety.

Great Booster Seat

Cindy

Easy to install. Easy for the child to fasten their seatbelt.

Perfect transition from a convertible

SamanthaG

This has been perfect transition to a booster for my 7 year old. He is on the smaller size so we waited patiently for him to reach that 40 lb weight to transition and this has been a game changer. He loves that it is a big kid seat and I love the ease of installation while being aesthetically sleek. My son can easily get himself in and out and fits comfortably! Great quality and color.

Great seat

Andrew H

Easy to install and remove. Comfortable and well priced.

Grandson loves it!

Beverly

Best booster ever! So easy to use and my grandson loves it! He walks right into the car, easily sits and one quick seat belt just like his Nana & Papa, he feels like a big boy 😀

Feels like bare minimum

Krystal

This seat meets the minimum requirements. I like the look. It matches the interior of our truck. Easy to install. Just feels flimsy. I wish it was a 5 point harness. If your headrest isn’t removable you probably won’t get a good fit.

These are fantastic. Good sizing, bases lock in and just a good overall quality.

Booster seat

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hailie

Love this seat. Fits nicely in my car. Kid doesn’t have an issue buckling like with other car seats we have had, they cover the buckle and we would have to scoot the seat to the side. This seat is great. Lightweight & I love that it clips into the car and isn’t just free sitting. Makes me feel better about my growing kid.

Great Seat

KMMCK

This is one of the few manufacturers that includes LATCH with their booster seats. I feel much more confident that my little one is secured because of these latches. This is the only booster seat I trust and have used them with my 3 kids over 14 years.

Perfect for my precious cargo!!

Love being a Grandma

Perfect choice for my precious granddaughters (I bought 2). Easy in and out! They are so excited to have these new seats. I feel confident I made the right choice with the name Chicco on them!!

Chico sent me the wrong seat and their customer support isn’t responsive. Seat itself looks great if I could get my hands on it.

Amit

Wrong item sent

Yes please!

Stuntman Sam

Simple, comfortable, easy to install design. My child loves their new seat. Would definitely recommend!

Buy it!

Karsyn Fann

Perfect for my 7 year old. Not too bulky. She loves it

Definitely worth the buy

Roxy

Love the quality and ease of installation. It’s lightweight and my kiddo said it’s super comfy

5+ Stars

Awell1921

Exceeded expectations with ease of use and installation. My daughter says it’s a very comfy seat. Overall best product in this category, especially with the easy quick release latch mechanism.

Great Booster Seat

Happy Nana

My granddaughter loves it. Easy to install and take out.

Kid fit car seat

Sandy

I’m very happy with this car seat for my grandson.

Safe, pactical and parent-friendly design

Madison

As parents, we’re so grateful we found this car seat. With our old brand, the seatbelt would constantly lock or tangle when unbuckling, but we haven’t had that issue once with this one — such a relief during busy drop-offs and errands. The latch system is super secure, and the seat doesn’t move at all once it’s in place, which gives us real peace of mind. The blue ombré is gorgeous, and I love that the cup holders collapse and pop out for easy cleaning (and for making room if we have extra passengers in the back). It’s clear this seat was designed with parents in mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something safe, practical, and stylish!

Fits Our Needs

Wil W

We are Grandparents and our roles in our Grands life suddenly increased. We needed 2 car seats almost immediately. The style,quality and craftsmanship of your items really stands out. With The multiple adjustments that can be made My Grands are happy and comfortable in their new seats. Also the quick release feature is a game changer!

Works perfectly

Kinderteach

I bought it due to its highest rating in Wirecutter. Very pleased with the quality, comfort and price. Easy to install.

Great Booster Seat!

Erin

We moved our daughter to the KidFit ClearTex Plus 2-in-1 Booster shortly after she met the requirements, and it’s been perfect. It’s sturdy, comfortable, and easy to adjust as she grows. The ClearTex fabric is soft, breathable, and chemical-free, and the cup holders are a great bonus!

Grandma G

Virginia

Very nice, highly recommend

Easy to use + safety features

GranCat

I may be a *tad* biased because I've been using car seats since the early 90's and with 6 kids plus 3 grandkids, I've had to deal with some really awful ones. This booster is an absolute dream to use. I got it as a first booster for my grandson hoping the extra safety features would be sufficient so my daughter wouldn't veto it! It's ridiculously easy to put together; parts are labeled L & R for easy identification. All the satisfying <clicks> happen like they are supposed to when you've properly seated your armrests & cupholders.The Latch System is quite possibly the easiest I've ever used. We were able to evade a meltdown mid-melt by quickly switching the booster to another car when little buddy decided on an impromptu trip in another car. So simple to release & re-latch. (Perhaps having a newer car makes a difference in using Latch? Always been a thorn in my side!) I love this seat. Going to buy the combo seat for my granddaughter!

Great booster

Cindy

Great booster for elementary aged kids, comfortable and light!

Perfect

Vigisha

My 5 ear old Son love the new car seat

Very good

ElaineTC

Easy to assemble, doesn’t move a lot when latched in. And it looks more purple IRL than online.

Very comfortable

Gabriela

My son is really happy with his big kid booster!

easy!

bassoc

Safety first!

Vicki T

Sturdy build and easy to install. As she grows, I know my child is just as safe and secure as she has always been in her Chicco car seat.

Excellent choice

So easy to put together, install and use! Satisfied I decided on this booster.

Sturdy

Betsy

Easy to install

Great booster option

Momof4

Great option for a booster. I love the lower anchor connecters, it was the number 1 feature that led me to purchase and I will be placing another order for my husbands car !

Nice car seat

Megan

Very nice car seat. I like that it has latches because i like safe stuff. The car seat technician also said it was a really nice car seat. Chicco is the only car seat i buy. The belts are so smooth and easy to operate.

Not good as a chicco carseat

Laila

I didnt like the quality , also not so fixed in the car

Poor design

Dad man

The latch system is a horrible design, when you tighten it … they release. When I did get it latched, then pulled on the seat to check it was locked. The latches release. No way I’m putting my child in this thing. Returned and will buy something else.

Son loves his new seat

Chester

We’ve had a Chicco high back previously with our oldest and knew we wanted to get one for our youngest. He loves the seat space and comfort. It was easy to put together and put right in.

Great carseat

Chealsea

Just what I was looking for and the thicker pad makes for a comfortable ride

Awesome carseat!

Anna Malikov

I like this car seat!!!I like its performance,I like the materials,gradient color,as well as the convenience to put it in and take it out.

Great Investment after a child's car seat.

Gina

This was very easy to set up, adjusted very easily to my grandsons size.

I switched to this booster after not liking my son in the graco one. We love this one so much more. It seems more sturdy and it has more color options

Katie

Great seat. My daughter really loves it

Great seat!

Tasha

Great seat for a decent price! Installing it was a little tricky to get tight. But if you hold down the orange release button and pull the tether you can get it to work without the tether straps coming undone.

Booster seat

Kah Arkansas

Very well made seat. Would put together before installation.

Disappointment

Patricia

We have always used Chicco since our daughter was a baby, but this time we bought online and are very disappointed. Concerning this Car Seat we specially love the material, but very disappointment with: 1. Safety - Because arms of seat don't click and often get out (we have used all our strength!!). 2. Customer service. We wrote two times right after purchase, asking to change the color because it was a mistake - we never received a feedback! A few days later we wrote another email (the same correct address) and no answer/ support!

Nice Seat

Randi

Like that it has lower latch anchors. Comfortable.

Booster

TLSS

This seat is super easy to use

Meets the need

Satisfied Pop and Grammy

We're grandparents needing a seat for growing grandchildren. One child has this Chicco, other child has another brand. Bought Chicco online out of convenience (and 25% off). Much easier to swap in to/out of our smaller vehicles than the NASCAR Junior convertible seats we've using for the younger grands. Will buy another one of these seats, after that, will tell kids to let us drive their vehicles.

Great seat, colors hard to gauge online

Kate

I do love this booster. It’s our second one so now both kids have one. My son got to pick the color online and picked blue. When I opened the box it looked so purple that I thought Chico sent the wrong seat! But next to my daughter’s seat (which is purple) it looked more blue so we kept it. Other than than, great seat in all the important ways :-)

10 stars!

Crsta480

Love this, my son was so happy to get a big boy seat and I was happy to have found one that met my standards and of course the state requirements. This one is easy to install and from what I can tell easy to uninstall as well. He loves it and it provides the protection momma needs.

Granddad

Granddad

Very easy to install and remove. Good safe fit and good instructions. Will fit as child grows.

Great next step seat

ARGluck

Looks great, easy to put together and my son said it looks like a race car seat! He was so excited.

Back part

Artur

The back part could be better. You can’t fix it to the car seat tight

HORRIBLE CONSTRUCTION - look elsewhere!!!

Renee

The quality of this chair was shockingly poor. The upholstery on the back was sewn incorrectly resulting in a crooked head-rest. A large chunk of foam was missing from one of the arm rests. Overall just horrible construction and quality. I have purchased three Chicco car seats prior to this one with no problems. This style / design was just a far departure from what I have come to expect from this company. Skip this one!!!

Quality low

Michelle

Quality is not there. I would like to return but I don't have the box. Can someone help me with this?

Great Boosyer

Ehud

A very nice booster. Would like to be able to release arms for packing. IMHO, Arms are a bit too low for kids ages 8+.

Great seat!

Erin

Great price and Easy to install, and piece of mind knowing there's less toxic materials. We have loved all our chicco products since our son was a newborn. With another little one on the way, we'll be ordering more very soon!

Nice booster for toddlers

Haresh

Excellent and comfortable booster

Perfect next step from the Next Fit ix

Randy C

As my twins were sizing out of their car seats that they were using for the past 5.5 years, this was a logical and safe purchase to make for our Volvo XC90. My kids love them.

Great product

Katie

Love this booster seat

My Little One Gives It 5/5 Stars

Laura

My little rider really loves this seat. It was very easy to install and keeps my little one safe while traveling. My child enjoys the feeling of being more independent but also stated that she feels safer than being in a booster with no back.

Chicco for life

Paula

This is our third stage with Chicco and they never disappoint. Good quality, safety ratings and good looking! We love the purple hues, a welcome change from years of black seats. I do appreciate the clear Tex option as well.

We always go back to Chicco!

Sandie

Our daughter was excited for her new upgraded booster car seat, and we feel safe with her in Chicco products.

Great functionality

Laura

Light-weight, easy to install and still feels very secure for my kids' safety. Love that it can convert to backless too.

Fabric

Anna B

While the booster is easy to install and feels very sturdy. I have had this booster seat less then 1 month and the fabric is pilling. I don’t see the fabric lasting long which is disappointing.

Love it, great seat.

Bethany

This is straight forward, comfortable, great quality and my 6yo loves it. Especially love that the cup holders are actually big enough for her water bottles. Base is a little wide and sometimes hard for her to buckle herself, but usually not a problem.

Overall a great booster

Todd

We love this booster. Its lightweight, very easy to remove and install. Love the color. My only dislike is that the LATCH system is a few inches too long to fully tighten the booster into 2 different vehicles. Although this doesn't affect safety, its a bit annoying for the booster to be a little loose. Has never been an issue with ANY child car seat we have owned, including other Chicco seats.

Daughter approves

Mama of 2

This is my fourth chicco car seat, first booster. So far we love it just like all the other chiccos we have had! Daughter love the her big girl seat and loves the purple!

Great comfort!

Howard

We have two of these boosters now. We bought one for our youngest child. Our oldest sat in her seat one day and said it was more comfortable than hers (which is a more expensive brand and only a year old). So we ended buying another kidfit.

Finally a nontoxic highback booster seat at an affordable price!

Jae44

I bought this booster seat as a gift for my friend's daughter's 5th birthday (she is 46 inches and 50 pounds). I wanted something that was nontoxic, which is specifically why I chose this seat over other brands. I considered a highback Graco booster seat. Even though it was less money (I found a great black Friday sale deal for one for $36), I decided to go with this one even though it was more money because Graco seats are all loaded with flame retardants. I hope that someday Chicco will make all their car seats flame retardant free. I really like that this seat has anchors to keep the booster seat in place. One improvement would be a clip to attach to the seat like car seats for younger kids have, but this not that big of a deal. Although, I really like the seat, as one other reviewer said, the color in the images looks a bit different than in real life. I got the Reef blue color. I expected it to have a bit of teal in it, but there is no hint of green/teal whatsoever. The colors are more muted in person. The lightest color for the headrest looks like a blue periwinkle color and I was expecting it to be closer to light teal (Note: it does not actually look purple, it is more of a blue periwinkle color). It is not that big deal and I still like it very much. I think that it was a great idea to have the color transition to being darker as you get closer to the lower part of the seat. This is where most car seats tend to get stained. I think that it would be a great idea for Chicco to continue to expand on the different colors offered. I think a seat with teal and seat with magenta colors could be very pretty. They also could offer a black or dark gray seat with ribbing that is colored like they have for some of their other lines.

So versatile!

Mama Beach

We love how versatile this seat is! For shorter trips we use just the booster alone, but for longer trips it allows us to use the high back and our daughter can nap in it while having support!

Excellent booster seat for your growing toddler!

Jessica Lynn

We got this seat as a replacement for a previous purchased "Forever" car seat. We wanted something a little more purposes built for our fast-growing toddler! Setup is super simple, convenient and most importantly toolless! And I absolutely love the anchor system this seat uses, the LATCH system is fabulous if you plan on moving this Booster Seat between vehicles. The seat feels very well-built, nice and sturdy when installed. And it's very easy to clean, so far most messed just wipe right off! The cup holders pop out, so they can be washed right in the sink. Overall, we are very satisfied with this Booster Seat!

Exactly what we were looking for

eks126

We are very pleased with this highbacked booster. Moving from a standard car seat to this booster was nice because of the ease of use. We also love that the seat has multiple cup holders. Its much lighter than the standard car seats which makes moving it from one vehicle to another a breeze. It has solid materials and we like the ability for it to convert to a standard booster as well. Very happy with our purchase!

Perfect car seat/booster!

Kws22

This booster is exactly what we wanted. Our daughter is petite, but big enough for a booster now. We wanted a seat that she can continue to grow in and something she is comfortable sitting in. This booster has it all, multiple height settings and perfect belt positioning. I love the latch system and easy installation of this booster. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful flame-retardant free booster seat

Satisfied parent

I purchased this particular booster seat because of the lack of unnecessary flame retardants as well as our satisfaction with our other Chicco seat, the MyFit harness and booster seat. The seat is easy to install and adjust, comfortable, and relatively streamlined. We're very happy with our purchase!

Best car seat on the market!

Deborah T.

I’ve been a Chicco fan since I bought a stroller for our granddaughter 15 years ago. Their attention to detail & safety is second to none.

Look closely at the color description

Justin B.

I’ll admit I should’ve read the description of the color instead of going by the picture because the colors in the photos are not at all accurate. It wouldn’t have been a big deal if it was an easy exchange process but the Chicco rep sent back a color description to me basically saying “you messed up” instead of just making it right. Also had to pay $30+ for shipping and no longer got the discounted price I originally bought it at. So please make sure and read everything so that you don’t have to deal with the return process.

very comfortable

JULIANA S.

very comfortable

Kids love it

Bonnie R.

Easy to install and my kids love them.

Easy to assemble, neutral colors,

Jessica W.

Easy to assemble, neutral colors, comfy for child. I've observed them resting their head on the side cushions quite a bit since I purchased the seat two weeks ago. Haven't tested the quick release latch yet, but it wasn't super easy to install (my vehicle latches are buried in the seat, so it could be more of an issue with my vehicle than the car seat)

Very sturdy

Rachel C.

Easy to install, sturdy and comfy.

Great booster, kid loves it and so does mom

Nancy C.

So glad we landed on this booster. Kiddo was eager for a booster but I wanted to make sure she would be safe and not slip out when she fell asleep, and we didn't want one with a 3-point harness on it (part of the whole point of moving to a booster). The reviews I read were right - the belt harness system is designed in a way to ensure she's properly secured. The latch system was incredibly easy click them in and pull the tabs. Our old car seat was never this easy and always involved annoying yanking to tighten.

High quality car seat that’s comfortable yet easy to install

Jeanna S.

This car seat is very soft, comfortable, light, and easy to install. My kids love this seat.

Perfect

Fatimah H.

We've been purchasing Chicco car seats and strollers for 6 years now. The quality is always consistent and the designs are modern. Thank you!

Extra Carseat

Amy U.

My daughter's family already purchased two of these carseats for their family cars. As a Nana who loves to attend all activities I felt I needed a carseat in my car too. I am very happy with the ease of using this model.

Best booster

Emily K.

Best booster! Fits in the sedan and mini van! 5 year old loves it!

Light, easy

Christy Q.

My 7-year old was thrilled to put this together and install it in the car with minimal help. We did check it of course, and love how simple it is.

Loving our new boosters

Amy L.

We ordered 2 of these for a new vehicle and I love the width and the lightweight nature for a high back booster. It also easily converts to regular booster for growing kids. We have had issues in the past with the seatbelt guide at the shoulder but the kids seem to be navigating using this new seat independently better than before.

The seat is great

Danielle D.

The seat it self is great. Love the blue color and how sturdy this booster seems compared to other brands. Installation was pretty easy. My only issue is I found out I can't use the seat properly in my Nissan because it doesn't have removable head rests and the booster seat can't get flush with the sheet. It's disappointing a great company such as Chicco has this issue.

High Quality -- as expected

Beth V.

My husband and are grandparents and we like having a booster seat available for our grandchildren when they are visiting or when we are babysitting for the day or the weekend. This way, we don't have to switch seats in and out of cars. The seat is well made. Durable. Easy to assemble. The fabric will be easy to clean, too.

Perfect 2-in-1 booster for our 5 year old!

Jodi S.

We just made the switch from our Chicco Convertible NextFit carseat to the KidFit 2-in-1 Booster and couldn’t be happier! We’ve always loved the Chicco brand and this product is no different. While we could’ve used the NextFit a little longer, my daughter was anxious to switch to the booster like the “big kids” and use a shoulder belt vs the harness. The seat is sturdy, yet lightweight, comfortable, and easy to install using the LATCH system. I especially appreciate how easily the height can be adjusted, which is perfect when the kids swap seats- the height can be adjusted to 10 different levels with just one hand! My daughter loves that it has two cup holders. She’s using the back for now, but I like the versatility that it offers since it can convert to a backless model later. It easily reclines when the seat of the car reclines to offer more comfort for longer trips. An added bonus is the Greenguard Gold certification. Since Covid, I have tried to make healthier and safer choices when purchasing products for my family. We spend a lot of time on the road so I have peace of mind knowing that at least the air quality in the car is ideal as possible since it has met rigorous emissions and chemical exposure standards.

Safe, comfortable and chemical free booster

Wanda M.

I would highly recommend this booster because it is long lasting with its 2 step capability to be first used as a highback booster and then convert into a regular booster seat. The material is comfortable and easy to remove for cleaning to help with extended use. This seat is greenguard gold certified allowing my child to sit in a chemical free carseat that adds to the safety of the seat as well.

Highly Recommend this Booster Seat for Growing Child!

Shannon T.

The Chicco KidFit is the perfect booster seat for our 5 year old. Safety is always my number one priority and Chicco always delivers the best safety ratings in the industry. The latch system is easy and it keeps the booster in place without moving around. The seat is extremely comfortable for my son. The padded armrests are a nice feature. The booster is also easy to clean as the fabric is machine washable. The cupholders are dishwasher safe which is great. It is nice that this will become a backless booster when he is older. This booster really checks all of the boxes. We are extremely happy with it and would recommend to all parents.

Perfect seat for our growing Grandhild

Brenda M.

The KidFit is super easy to install and remove, much easier for this grandmom. I can remove the seat and arm covers and throw them in the wash for easy cleaning too! Perfect for our grandchild. Chicco never fails to design innovative and easy to use car seats!

Kid fit Chicco booster

Lauren M.

The KidFit Chicco booster is a great pick for booster seating. The assembly was easy and fast. The padding is comfortable for my five year old. The adjustable back allows for the seatbelt to be worn safely and securely for his height. I really like that it has two sided removable cup holders (will come in handy for cleaning and car seat arrangements). The arm rests are also padded which is an upgrade from standard boosters with just plastic rests. It has latch hooks like a regular car seat so that the booster will securely stay in place and not shift around like previous boosters we have had. Overall I am very pleased with this product, the safety features, and quality. I would recommend to others!

Amazing Booster

I have used chicco products from infancy to big kid! My daughter is 5 and we just switched her to the kidfit high back booster. I know she is in good hands with chicco! She fits perfectly and I love that she can buckle herself! I highly recommend chicco products!!

Perfect Booster Seat for a growing child!

Kayla C.

This booster is perfect for a growing child because it has 10 different positions for the head rest and can then be converted into just the booster seat. The padding and armrests make it a comfortable seat for my children and the latch system helps to better secure it into the vehicle. My kids are hard on their carseats and the removable fabric and dishwasher safe cupholders make cleaning these seats very easy and convenient. This is a safe, long lasting and comfortable carseat for children over 4 that I would highly recommend to anyone shopping for an upgrade!

Amazing Booster Car Seat!

I am thrilled with our KidFit ClearTex Plus 2-in-1 Belt-Positioning Booster Car Seat. It was important to me to find the safest booster car seat and Chicco has the best top safety ratings. The DuoGuard® head and torso protection with a rigid shell & EPS energy-absorbing foam will keep my son safe and secure. I’ve had several Chicco car seats for my kids, and was excited to see we could continue with the KidFit ClearTex Plus 2-in-1 Belt-Positioning Booster Car Seat. I love the 10 height positions ensure that the booster car seat will grow with my son and that it becomes a backless car seat booster when he is older. It is easy to install, remove, and switch cars quickly which comes in handy. My son find finds it very comfortable. It is so easy to clean with removable and machine washable fabrics. This allows for the seat to look great and hold up, because of the quality materials used, to ensure it continues to look new and function properly. My kids are tough on their car seats and this booster car seat stands up to the challenge. You cannot get a better quality, safer, more secure car booster seat. I would highly recommended this seat.
