Our son outgrew his other infant car seat right around a year old, but we live in a super cold location, so I was sad to give up the option of putting him in his car seat in the house and keeping him bundled up as we run errands. Imagine my excitement when I found this option! We are still able to carry him in and out of the house in this on those cold days, though I do attach it to our stroller when we're out and about, as it does get pretty heavy with a 20+ pound kiddo in it. As far as the weight of the seat itself goes, it's not much heavier than the other Chicco infant car seat that we had. I wish we would have just started with this one! Our son loves that he can sit more upright in this one in the car as well, and it's no big deal to adjust it, as we can just flip a little lever. The seat seems to fit him well, and I trust that Chicco makes safe baby products. When the weather warms up, we likely won't be using this seat anymore, but it has sure been nice to get us through the negative temps we have been experiencing. I'd buy this one again in a heartbeat!

I had the older model of this six years ago and used it for three kids. We were hard on it but it stayed nice and washed well. It expired this year, right before I had my fourth. I thought maybe I should try something new and lighter weight. Nope. I hated it (maxi cosi 🫣). I returned it at gt this one. Here's why:Fabric quality. It looks nice and it's a. Neoprene texture which gives added padding to the baby. Every single one of my kids has loved this car seat. People said they must just be car seat babies but since I tried that Maxi cosi in between this one I know it's not the case.Price overall I feel like this is higher end mid level but that's all I need. I don't want to spend $500+ for something that my kid is just going to puke on but I also want them to be safe and happy.You can adjust the overhead bar with one hand. I didn't know that that was something car seats didn't come with.It's new parent friendly. That newborn insert is so cozy.It clicks into the base nicely.Not the cutest thing out there. But oh well 🤷♀️It is a little heavier than some others on the market, but what's an extra pound or two if they're comfortable and not screaming in the car?I have it 4 stars only because I don't believe the 5 star reviews are real and I'm sure other people feel the same. I'm not paid for this I just really do love the car seat.

I really loved the padding and the inserts in this car seat and how easy the instructions are to follow! There are so many options for inserting it into your car and the base is adjustable for toddlers. The only thing that is a little iffy is that it is heavy without even having my baby in it but is also really durable. The other thing is I don’t think it turns around for when the baby is 2 and up! But other than that this is a great car seat and I am definitely in love it was worth every penny I spent on it!

This car seat takes up the same amount of space as our smaller infant car seat. It is well made. The material on the inside is soft and the canopy works very well compared to our previous car seat. The one button handle adjustment is amazing. I didn't know that I needed the carrying handle to adjust with one hand until I had this car seat. Your hands are always full when you have a baby so it's nearly impossible to have 2 free hands to push both buttons to adjust the carrying handle. With this car seat you only need one hand. It's a life saver! The only thing I would like to see from this car seat is an easier way to clean the liner. Because of the adjustable nature of this car seat, you aren't able to take the lining out to wash it. You have to spot clean any messes. This definitely makes the inevitable mess more difficult to deep clean.

We love the Chicco brand of car seats and strollers. This purchase was to replace our older KeyFit car seat and base. Love the upgrades that have been made with the KeyFit2. One is the one-handed adjustable handle for the car seat. This makes it so much easier to move the position of the handle when you are holding your baby, since you only need one hand to squeeze the locking mechanism. The other upgrade we love is the changing position of the base to grow with the child. This newer base has an infant position and a toddler position, so the time we can use this car seat and base will be longer, before transitioning to a larger car seat for bigger toddler. The padding and cushioning inside car seat also seems more secure, fuller, and softer than the older KeyFits. The car seat easily clicks to fit in all of our Chicco strollers…we have 3.

My son is not 2 years old so he needs to ride rear-facing. He is 14 months so he is more interested in what is going on with his siblings in the back seat and the window. We have a Subaru Forester with 2 forward-facing car seats. We tried one of those for him, but the back of the seat would make the seat in the front extremely narrow (Knees hitting the glove-box narrow....). We were looking for something in between, something where he could be more seated but that would not take so much space. This car seat was a great find. In the toddler position, he seats more up-right than in the infant position, so he can see outside and engage with the other kids, and we do not compromise the space in the front of the car. This seat is so very soft, the cover is great because you can use it to cover the Sun when the baby sleeps. Great materials, he really enjoys them. This seat is very similar to the Chicco Kety Fit, but it allows your toddler to seat higher and enjoy more trips. I encourage you to use this if you are looking for something a little bigger than the infant seat.
