A few days before bringing her home from the NICU we found out that a fictive kin placement was going to be taking her home instead of us. We were happy for her, but our hearts were still shattered. After a few days of grieving, we had to start returning all of the things we had bought for her, including this car seat. Chicco requires that you pay return shipping. It was $70 to return the car seat. The car seat only cost $130. So we’re only getting back half of what we paid. This product was unused and still in original packaging. Very disappointed and will not risk ordering anything from them online again.","reviewer_name":"Disappointed Customer"},{"date":"November 12, 2025","title":"Great car seat","rating":5,"content":"Love that this car seat is light weight, easy to use and safe.

The harness bucket is cheap and half of the time does clip shut. Opening that same bucket is also difficult which is ironic because as I just stated it is difficult to close so you can’t win. The visor is flimsy and cheaply made. No structure or real shape. And finally I’m not sure if it is a new safety feature but in order to release the grab bar you have to engage the buttons on both sides. When I am holding my infant, about to place her inside, how am I suppose to push on both sides when I have only one free hand? I loved the Chicco KeyFit2 that I owed but unfortunately expired which led me to purchasing this one and I regret doing so. Unfortunately I can’t return this car seat. And to top it off the 2 based I already owned aren’t compatible with the car seat. Absolute waste.","reviewer_name":"Jules"},{"date":"January 2, 2023","title":"Car seat for jogging stroller","rating":5,"content":"Great car seat.

When my child (who is almost 4 now!) was seven months old, I was crossing the street and we got hit by a car. The car hit the stroller and she, in the car seat went flying in the air and landed ten feet away. The stroller was crushed. Blood was pouring out of her mouth. She immediately went to UCSF children’s hospital to get a craniotomy because her brain had started hemorrhaging. In the end, the surgeons and doctors saved her life but it was touch and go for a while. My husband and I are convinced that the car seat saved her life. We are forever loyal and grateful to this brand for helping to protect our girl.","reviewer_name":"Deniz K."},{"date":"September 20, 2020","title":"It’s alright","rating":3,"content":"I really liked the car seat, my only complaint is the fabric isn’t breathable my baby sweats a lot in it.

I had my two babies in the car. My 2 1/2 year old was forward facing in his chicco nextfit and my 6 month old in her chicco keyfit. A car came out of nowhere in front of us and we crashed into them. Our airbags deployed and our truck was totaled. Our babies however, were unscathed. Before, I bought chicco because they were soft and incredibly comfortable. I liked the ease of use with them and their excellent reviews.

Our child is comfortable in it as well. We’ve had it a year and it still looks brand new, even after several trips to the park, airport, grocery store and many other places. Easy to install with the base, and easy to use without a base (although the base is SO convenient). No issues whatsoever. Definitely recommend!","reviewer_name":"mikthemantle7"},{"date":"August 8, 2018","title":"My favorite Car seat!","rating":5,"content":"We bought this car seat for my daughter in September 2017 when she was born and it is my favorite car seat to date! I purchased another (cheaper) Graco car seat for my husbands truck and we just ended up buying another base for this one because it was so much better than the other. It is a very comfy car seat and grows with the baby with the removable pads. It is very easy to wash and keep beautiful. The fabric is also very stain resistant. I would recommend this car seat to every one I meet! We are having another baby soon and I plan to keep using the car seat for him/her!","reviewer_name":"MeganKMitchell"},{"date":"June 10, 2018","title":"Love !!!","rating":5,"content":"I owned my original keyfit for 4 years.
