Safety
3 months ago
A few days ago, my 3 week old was in the car with me when we T-boned another vehicle that failed to yield to us at an intersection. Luckily we chose the correct car seat for her when we picked this one out. We got checked out at the hospital and she was completely unharmed! We have to replace hers so we will be purchasing this one again (even though we bought hers less than a month ago)😫
Other than being amazing for safety purposes, this seat is also very nice. It has a cushion around the crotch buckle area to make it more comfortable for baby. It is very easy to use in comparison to other car seats we have used in the past. We also have a 20 month old so we have used a couple of other brands for her. She was in the wreck with us too and was unharmed except for some minor bruising. However, she was in a different carseat. If you’re looking for a safe seat for your babies, this is the one!! My car is totaled but I’m so glad my babies were protected!

True competitor to higher end brands!
3 months ago
I'm excited to see that there's a version now with magnets instead of snaps, but bummed to read a review that the distance between the handle and canopy hasn't been corrected. I purchased the 35zip as a second carseat (quite frankly that was unnecessary, but I couldn't decide between the no longer made nuna pipa with the no rethread.., mesa max, or 35zip in 2023) I used the chicco for maybe the first 6 weeks..so hardly any, it was too frustrating to deal with the snaps and repositioning the handle against the canopy..had to have the canopy at a certain position to comfortably put my hand around the handle to carry. The seat weight doesn't phase me, but I would love to see an extra inch between the handle and canopy with the magnets, maybe even some leatherette features..then this would definitely be my dream infant car seat!
Overall this a great carseat, but the mentions above were too much of a nuisance for us compared to our primary mesa max (which the handle was too long towards the end of using it..so somewhere in between would be nice, maybe even an extendable canopy opposed to the zip..). We ended up gifting it to a family member.
Despite my pickiness, I would definitely recommend the latest version, the keyfit max! We own the myfit cleartex, all in one cleartex, chicco fit360.. wish I would've waited for the zip to come out..Definitely thinking of an excuse to upgrade ours! I'd love to see the leg rest option for the older kids cleartex seats, but considering the various brands that I've explored over my 12 years of being a mom, chicco is definitely one of my top choices!
I want to add, that even the nonzip chicco cleartex options are easy to clean!

The PERFECT car seat!
7 months ago
The KeyFit35 is the perfect car seat! It is all around easy to use, lightweight, and durable. Additionally, the base is very secure and easy to install. The KeyFit35 can go in just about any car since it can be installed several different ways. Chicco has some awesome videos on their website to help with install options!
It is very easy to adjust the car seat as baby grows! I love that the product can be used until baby is 35lbs (longer than many competitors products). We also purchased the Chicco KeyFit Caddy stroller frame for use with our KeyFit35. I highly recommend you check out the Caddy if you are buying the KeyFit 35!
More importantly, Chicco's safety ratings are excellent! As a first time mom, I have peace of mind knowing my baby is safe in her Chicco Keyfit35.
My husband and I (and our baby girl) LOVE the KeyFit35! We highly recommend it!

Purchase and delivery
11 months ago
Buy direct from Chicco USA instead of outlets. This same item with the stroller attachment that I I bought here was at least $150 MORE at another on-line site (the store EVERYBODY shops). I cannot critique the actual car seat and stroller since it was a shower gift for my granddaughter in Maine however I know it was shipped packaged well and delivered on the date promised.

Well built infant seat!
a year ago
Very nice car seat! Well built, quality materials. A little heavier than expected but feels very safe. Just what we were looking for. I matched this with the black Corso LE and it’s a great looking travel system. Excited to use it when baby arrives!

Great Features!
a year ago
This is our Fouth child using a Chicco infant car seat so we have been using them for 6 years now. I love this car seat! First of all, I really love the newly designed canopy. Phenomenal design that is easy to use when you need it. Also the newborn cushion upgraded design is really great as well. I love The new base. It is very easy to instal and you can tell just how super safe it is! We transfer it between vehicles all the time and just love how easy and secure it is. They really did a good job making this car seat safe for baby and still so comfortable, giving my baby a place of peace and relaxation while we drive. Thank-you Chicco for amazing products for our little ones!

Excellent car seat
a year ago
We are first time parents and this seat came highly rated by multiple online listings so we gave it a shot! It did not disappoint. It was easy to install in the car. Our newborn fit into it perfectly and seemed very comfortable. She seems very secure when buckled in and the features such as the sun shade have been invaluable when going on long walks with our stroller.
