Dear Chicco,
This past Wednesday I was on my way home from picking up my 7 mth old son Rocco from my mothers house when from out of nowhere a speeding truck ran through a stop sign and hit us so hard that my car twirled and hit a fence/pole. I pushed on the bent door frame and went to the back seat to check on my baby and he was crying up a storm. Fearful of the car catching fire because of the smoke I was able to remove my child in his carseat from the base very easily. The paramedics arrived and assessed our injuries and we went to the emergency room. I was held back in the ER while my son was taken to the pediatrics ER. After calming down and being released for minor injuries I ran to where m y son was and to my surprise found him sitting in one of the ER cribs laughing and playing.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a wonderful car seat. I believe that seat saved his life and kept him from injury. In the ER the doctors praised us for having such a great seat that did the job it was meant to do and said they wished they could see more babies come through their ER in such great care. They said it was rare for them to see that.
My insurance has agreed to replace the seat but even if they had not we would still go out and buy your car seat again. I hope my story encourages more parents to keep their babies in carseats. So many times I have driven and seen children sitting on parents laps without restraints. I will recommend your seat to every new mommy I know.
Thank you again.

Chicco,
I've had your carseat about 2 years now. I used it for my first child and now my second child has been using it. I recommend it to everyone b/c it is strong, sturdy, safe, and easy to install the base. I've always felt good about it. But yesterday really solidified the quailty of your product.
My children and I were on our way for a weeks vacation and someone ran a red light. They hit us on the drivers side and my 7 month old was in her car seat behind me. We rolled two or three times and landed on the hood of the car. My daughter didn't budge from the seat and wasn't tossed around the car. She was safely hanging upside down when the firemen got us out. She had no injuries. I just want to thank you for making such a quality product. I believe after such a horrific accident that I have to get rid or the carseats and purchase new ones but I will make sure that everyone knows what a wonderful job it did.
Thank you!

Dear Chicco USA,
Last Friday I experienced one of the scariest moments of my life. As I was driving home from a friends house with my four month old daughter in the car, I was rear-ended in a 3 car pile up. As my daughter let out the loudest scream from the back seat, I was shaking and crying! The crash was so loud and scary I was so afraid to look in the back to see what might have happened. To my surprise my daughter was shaken up a bit, but not harmed in any way! Although I know that God kept us safe (one of the other ladies went to the hospital right away), I also know that my Chicco (KeyFit 30 in Adventure) car seat saved my daughters life. I really liked the car seat before, but now I love it!
Thank you so much for making such safe products.
Sincerely,
Alexis H.

I would like Chicco to know our story . . .
When I found out I was pregnant last February, my life changed. I knew life was going to be better but I didn't realize how much better. I knew she was going to be tough cookie from the moment I took that pregnancy test. I was in the ER 7 times. Each ultrasound and test showed how healthy she was and how well she was growing even though I had lost almost 20 pounds. Then I went into labor and delivered a healthy baby girl named Alexis Mia on October 19, 2008. I fell in love the minute I heard that first cry. Everyone talks about how you will love your kids and I see how much my mom loves me but it is 100000000 times more when you have your child in your arms. I never knew this happiness or love even existed. And to see her with my husband will bring you to tears. She is our world.
During the pregnancy we looked at least 5 different times at strollers, car seats, and travel systems. I knew I didn't like the Graco ones that some people recommended. They just did not feel sturdy or comfortable. I liked the quality that the Chicco strollers and car seats displayed. It also had such an ease of use to it. One click in and out.. My husband and I knew this was the one. I found it at Buy Buy Baby which was brand new to the Chicagoland area so they did not have a lot of colors in stock. They had to order it directly from Chicco. It arrived quickly and we used it as soon as we got home from the hospital. Even after my c-section, I had no problem opening the stroller or clicking in the car seat.
On March 21, 2009, a drunk driver t-boned us at 50 mph and totaled our car. As I sit here writing this and crying, I am so thankful that these are happy tears thanks to Chicco. I could be saying how wonderful Lexi was or what a happy baby she was but instead I am saying that we are going to our first swim class next week. She not only survived this horrible mess but didn't even get a scratch on her. CHICCO...THANK YOU!!! You saved our baby girl. My husband and I know what could've happened if you hadn't made such a quality product. It sickens me to think that we would have had to live even 1 day without her.
A few days after the accident, I called Chicco and spoke with a very nice lady named Ginny and asked for the "thank you department". I needed to let Chicco know what they meant to us and how grateful we were to them for protecting our child. We trusted them and they came thru for us. I also asked if they made car seats in my size since I was the one who got the worst of the accident. I was joking, but it would have been nice.
One of the other things that impressed me was that Ginny said she would speak to her engineers about this crash. I was pleased to know that the information from our accident could help save other children's lives.
I sometimes read testimonials and think which employee did they have write that. This is a true and real story. Please, as you are registering for your baby, go with Chicco. It is worth every cent that we spent on it. Please tell your friends and family to buy Chicco.
Please remember my tough little cookie, Lexi and how Chicco saved her life.

Dear Chicco,
Our family would like to thank you for making such a great carseat. We purchased the KeyFit Travel System and had our local children's hospital install it for us. We were on the way home from the hospital 3 days after delivering our baby girl via C-section. A car cut us off and turned right in front of us. We crashed head on into the car at approximately 35 mph. The airbags deployed and gas began pouring out of the car. Our baby girl, Shaynan, stayed sleeping in her car seat the entire time. When local EMT & Fire Rescue came the the scene they were confident that our newborn would be okay based upon her car seat. We were rushed to the emergency room by ambulance. The ER pediatricians said your car seat saved her life. She didn't have a scratch on any part of her body. Our family is so thankful to your company! All new parents should trust CHICCO for their baby car seat.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely,
The Boardman Family

Dear Chicco,
I just want to send a note of appreciation about the stroller that saved my daughter. I bought your Chicco's travel stroller/car seat set 18months ago. I have always loved this product and have given recommendations to friends and strangers about how great a travel set it is.
Just yesterday, 2/18/09, I was out with my daughter for our morning walk, using the Chicco stroller. As we were crossing the street a car turned the corner and crashed into the stroller where my daughter had fallen asleep during our walk. The stroller flew over and I held on with all my might to keep it from flipping over. To say the least I was extremely upset and shaken by the accident. We were both checked out in the ER and we are OK, no physical injury. I have said repeatedly "Thank God I had her in THAT stroller! If she had been in any other stroller things would have turned out much different!"
I truly believe that the stroller helped saved my daughter's life! I will continue to tell my friends and strangers how great your product is and if they want to make sure their children are safe and secure buy a Chicco product!
Thank you,
Lesley S.

Dear Chicco,
I wanted to thank you and your staff for an excellent product. I proudly gave birth to my first baby, little Soren Paul, on Christmas Eve. He weighed 8 lbs 15 oz at birth, and I adore him.
On January seventh, fourteen day old Soren and I were rear ended on our way to my mom's house. I stopped to let an emergency vehicle through an intersection, and the car behind me didn't. Upon impact, Soren let out a little yelp, a short cry, and then I experienced the most terrifying silence of my life. Pulling out of the intersection, trembling and crying, I ran around my car to check on my baby boy, fully expecting to see my baby boy bleeding to death in the back seat of my car. I opened the passenger door to see that Soren - unharmed and barely disturbed - had fallen peacefully back to sleep in his super comfy, super safe, Chicco infant car seat. He proceeded to sleep soundly for an hour afterward, on the side of a busy major road, while police processed the accident.
I couldn't help but write you to thank you for all your hard work, keeping babies like mine safe. No one ever imagines they might be in a serious car wreck only two weeks after having a baby. I am so glad to have had your excellent product, and will confidently purchase Chicco products in the future.
I cannot thank you enough for keeping the most precious thing in the world safe.
Sincerely,
Sarah H.
