Brand logo inside rubs on back of baby’s head causing scratches / irritation
4 months ago
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.

Good product but wouldn’t buy through Chicco
a year ago
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.

Nice Product, Poor Return Policy
2 years ago
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.

Sticky handle defective
2 years ago
Please be warned that this carseat has manufactured defective parts. We were proud of Chicco keyfit 30 for many years and generation. We are sad to have a keyfit 30 rubber handle melt and become very sticky.

Excellent for new babies!
2 years ago
This system has been great with our baby. The fabric is soft and I'm thankful it can be washed. I only wish my giant baby wasn't so big so she could use it longer!
