Our Review of the Chicco Key Fit infant car seat

We love the Chicco Key Fit infant car seat! It is rare these days that we get giddy over a new car seat but the Key Fit really makes installation easier. This is an affordably priced, well made, full featured infant car seat that goes from 4 -22 lbs. The quality and features of this Italian made seat certainly give Peg Perego a run for the money.

What stands out about the Chicco Key Fit:

  • The overall design makes it carry lighter than the other seats in its class.
  • The one step snugging system built into the base makes installation easy and virtually error proof (LATCH management system).
  • Easy belt routing and spring loaded leveling plus liquid levelers on each side so you can correctly install from either side of the car.

The Chicco Key Fit comes standard with:

  • A belt locking system to fit snug into all vehicles even if the car doesn't come with LATCH.
  • An infant insert to get a better fit for babies 4-11 lbs.
  • A smooth underside to protect your vehicle seat.
  • A multi-position canopy to help keep the elements away from your baby.

If you are looking for a stroller and car seat combo, check out the Chicco Cortina travel system. No muss, no fuss!

Good car seat

3
Reviewer: rebecca Clements , Mount Juliet, TN Date: October 30, 2009
I really like this carseat and the stroller that goes with it. My disappointment is that it does not fit easily into a grocery cart like other carseats do. Also, it isn't compatible with a jogger which is a shame for us moms that want to stay fit. I wish Chicco would make a jogger comparable to the BOB

Great Car Seat

5
Reviewer: Anonymous , Roswell, GA Date: June 23, 2009
We originally bought the BabyTrend Rigid Lock because of the great safety ratings but had to return it for the Chicco becuase our preemie infant was 4lbs when we took her home and the BabyTrend wouldn't work. We have absolutely loved the Chicco -- particularly the extra soft padding and the ease of use. Our daughter seems very comfortable and is still using this seat at 18 mos (granted she is small for her age). We have not had the sweating issues that others have had, at least I don't think she's sweating any more in this seat than she would in any other -- but who knows. We really do love it and highly recommend it!

Nice car seat, baby gets hot and sweaty

3
Reviewer: Adrian , Greenville, SC Date: April 12, 2009
We love our Chicco car seat, it is light enough to easily carry our daughter around and easilty snaps in and out of the base. We do have one problem and wanted to see if others have this and what they are doing about it. Our daughter gets sweaty every time she's in the seat. She was born on Christmas day so we've only used the seat in winter so far and she always gets hot and sweaty in the seat so we're worried how bad this will get in the summer if we're already having a problem. Other than this issue we really enjoy the seat.

Saftey Hazzard

Reviewer: Anonymous , Boston, MA Date: April 01, 2008
I loved the seat after reviews and when looked in person at the store. When I tried to secure the base in the middle of the rear seat, lengths of the latches were too short so it wouldn't reach the hook. I was told that middle of the rear seat is the safest location to place the car seat. This problem is not there if placed behind passenger or diver instead of the middle. If it is important to place in middle of the rear seat then only choice is to use seat belt not the latch and hook Many other car seats don't have this problem. Then I realized that lot people know this as a problem with Chicco Key Fit models. If not for this problem I think it is one of the best car seat out there.

Comments from The Staff:

Hello there,
Thank you very much for your review. I did want to take this opportunity to mention another issue that you may actually be facing. I don't know what vehicle you were trying to install the seat in, so I can't confirm, however, in many cases, LATCH cannot be used in the center rear seat. Some people assume that you can just use the passenger and driver side interior LATCH attachments in the center seat, but very rarely is this acceptable according to vehicle and car seat manufacturer guidelines. Most vehicles that have LATCH will only have outboard (passenger and driver's side) attachment points. You can find out by looking at your vehicle owner's manual or by having the seat checked out by a Certified CPS Technician. Most of us advocates are very frustrated by this fact, but it is the case. You can always install the Chicco seat in the center using seat belts. I say this because I have installed this seat tons of times and I swear by it being the best and easiest infant car seat out there for installation and ease of use. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Kelly

Great Newborn Padding.....but HEAVY

4
Reviewer: Anonymous , Clermont, Georgia Date: December 10, 2007
This is a great seat with very well thought out padding for newborns and smaller babies. The padding comes out and the seat is also comfortable for the bigger babies too. The ONLY complaint I have is that the seat is HEAVY. I had a Peg Perego in 2005 with my middle daughter, and this seat seems to be a lot heavier...(no it's not the babies). I had never mentioned this complaint to my husband and just the other day he was carrying it and said that he thought the seat was awfully heavy. Overall though, it is a great seat.....as long as you don't have to carry it around a lot.

Chicco car seat

5
Reviewer: Anonymous , RAF Lakenheath, UK Date: August 29, 2007
I have four kids and this is the best car seat yet. I have installed it many ways and each one has been so easy. It is the easiest seat I have ever installed. It is also very light and very comfy. I think the people that think it is heavy forget they have a 20 pound kid sitting in it. It does not fit in a shopping cart but there are other ways to carry your child while you shop. After four kids and 8 years of parenting I truly believe this is the best car seat ever.

Great Seat! Very Easy to use and durable!

4
Reviewer: Mandy , Indiana Date: June 13, 2007
This is a great car seat. My son fits in it very well...he is now about 18 lbs and still using it! I love the colors (I have the Red and Charcoal) and the stroller is so nice, as well! The stroller is very easy to use and while holding my baby I am able to open it one-handed. This was a great buy...wish they had the next step up for 22lbs+! Definitely recommend this seat!

Best Infant Seat Out There!

5
Reviewer: Anonymous , Ft. Riley, KS Date: June 11, 2007
We looked at a ton of infant seats, and even hedged a little after Consumer Reports initial 2007 infant seat ratings listed other brands as being safer seats (this seat came in 3rd on the original report). But when CR retracted their original report, and we actually had to buy something before the new testing was completed (baby was on the way) we took a leap of faith. Well we chose wisely! This seat rocks! Easy to install AND use. You hear the click when the carrier goes in, and you know for sure that your child is safe and ready to go. If you have two vehicles you travel in, its totally worth it to buy the extra base. Even the seat safety inspector we had doublecheck our installation was very impressed with the seat. He commented that half the problem with infant and child car seat safety is poor installation due to confusing directions; this thing is so easy to install that you simply can't mess it up. Highly recommended and well worth the extra $$$ for your own piece of mind.

Awesome Seat Would Recommend To Anyone...

4
Reviewer: Kassie Guidebeck , Dixon, IL Date: June 01, 2007
After researching for several weeks we decided to purchase this seat for our son. He loves this seat, he never cries when he rides in it so I am assumming that it is comfortable for him. I love the material that it is made out of, it wipes clean with soap and water. He sinks down into the seat which makes me feel like he is safer. Don't let the cost of this car seat scare you off because it is well worth the little bit of extra money that it cost. I love this seat and the only thing that I wish is that they made the same seat for kids that are over 22lbs. I would defenitly recommend this seat for any new parent. Also, the colors are so nice.
