Missed an offer by 3 days.","rating":5,"content":"No regrets with this car seat. Great product that gives a parent peace of mind. It looks good as well. \n\nMy only regret is that I cannot see into the future. I ordered the car seat on 2/5/26, and 3 days later I got an email from Chicco offering a free stroller base for the same car seat purchase. Of course one of the promo exceptions was that it didn’t apply to previous purchases. A small thing, that isn’t a huge deal, but it is the first thing that I associate with the company name now.","reviewer_name":"Jared P"},{"date":"September 25, 2025","title":"Fine seat but quality vs 35 is much less.","rating":4,"content":"I have the 35 and bought the 30 for our 2nd car since the 35 was sold out. It’s a perfectly fine seat and glad it fits also into the other car seat base, but was very thrown off by how much lower quality the material is and especially the hood, vs. the 35.","reviewer_name":"Alessandra"},{"date":"March 26, 2025","title":"Brand logo inside rubs on back of baby’s head causing scratches / irritation","rating":4,"content":"Love everything about this car seat with exception of one thing. The only negative I would give is the brand logo inside the car seat where baby sits is raised (looks like a thin rough fabric patch that’s affixed by heat? So can’t remove) and now that my baby has grown, it’s right behind the back of her head and rubs her skin raw and scratches her when she moves her head repeatedly around while in it. So I bought a generic fitted liner on Amazon. The fitted liner is about $20-$30. Definitely worth buying the liner once your baby outgrows the infant insert and sits up taller in this car seat.","reviewer_name":"sarah lou"},{"date":"January 1, 2025","title":"Does the job!","rating":5,"content":"Works great!","reviewer_name":"Alejandro"},{"date":"October 13, 2024","title":"Do not buy","rating":2,"content":"Sunshade is horrible","reviewer_name":"Kyra"},{"date":"March 20, 2024","title":"Good product but wouldn’t buy through Chicco","rating":3,"content":"The car seat itself was good. But I would not recommend buying any product directly from Chicco. My husband and I accidentally both ordered a car seat for our next child. Which is completely our fault. So we ended up with 2 of the exact same seat. We already had additional bases and I just couldn’t think of a reason to keep a second seat. To return a product to Chicco you have to contact them to get return approval and a number which was kind of a pain. You then have to pay for return shipping. Which for the car seat we bought was $68.  I like Chicco products. We had a chicco seat for our prior kids and our toddler is in a chicco nextfit seat. But buy through Target or Walmart ect where you can return a product if you end up not needing/being gifted something. The price is the same and you can just return to store or get a return label through the company. We ended up getting 2 seats with our first and just took one to target and it was much easier and we didn’t end up with a $70 loss.","reviewer_name":"Lauren"},{"date":"July 11, 2023","title":"Nice Product, Poor Return Policy","rating":4,"content":"The car seat seems to be great quality. I am very disappointed with the return policy, however. I did not realize that this car seat came with a base, and when I tried to return the additional base I had purchased, I was required to pay shipping. This set me back another $22 from the purchase price. I tried to buy through Chicco instead of a second party, but I will not do so again.","reviewer_name":"Madel"},{"date":"June 29, 2023","title":"Sticky handle defective","rating":1,"content":"Please be warned that this carseat has manufactured defective parts.

I am 62 years old and my fingers are not as pliable as they used to be! I found the installation of the car seat in my SUV to be an easy, seamless process. The reason why I give this car seat 5 stars, though, is the ease of use. My grandson can easily get in and out. The buckling in process is a snap!

It is easy & intuitive to install and doesn’t jiggle around AT ALL like other brands.  I assumed it would be a heavier seat since it has such a secure latch…but I found it comfortable to carry.  I had very large babies and the seat accommodated their size very well.  The material cleans well and doesn’t smell up the car at all like other seats.

The seat itself snaps right in and feels super secure, giving us all the confidence in the world when we have to drive our new guy around. We love the compatibility with the strollers; you hear the click, and you know it’s secure. We love that versatility to be able to go from the car to the stroller all while not disrupting our little guy. The materials are so soft so he can sit in there comfortably for long drives.

The carrier comes with a removeable head and body support for newborns that is easy to remove as your baby grows. The carrier easily clicks into the base in the vehicle and also quickly clicks into a chicco stroller. This carseat is a greenguard gold certified and has no added chemicals for better, healthier air quality surrounding a new baby. I would highly recommend the KeyFit30 ClearTex Infant Car Seat to any new parent or parent shopping for a new infant seat.","reviewer_name":"Kayla C."},{"date":"January 15, 2022","title":"Safe and Reliable","rating":5,"content":"We love this car seat carrier.

The 35 has a higher weight max but the height max is the same and my daughter outgrew the height max by the time she was 36lb... I wouldn't pay the extra for the 35 unless you have a severe reflux baby because that anti-rebound bar is only recommended for severe reflux with the keyfit car seats. But honestly by the time baby was 18lbs... I didn't want to carry the whole seat anymore, we just would take her out and put her in the wrap or stroller...
