The #1-rated Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is engineered with innovative features that make it the easiest infant car seat to install simply, accurately, and securely every time. The KeyFit 30’s stay-in-car base has a ReclineSure leveling foot and two RideRight bubble level-indicators to help achieve and verify proper angle in the vehicle seat. The base is also equipped with premium LATCH connectors and a SuperCinch tightener for a secure fit with a fraction of the effort! For alternate installation with the vehicle seat belt, clear belt routing and integrated lock-offs make it easy to position, tighten and lock the belt into place.

I personally think this is the best infant car seat out there
First and foremost, a car seat is only as good as how itâs installed. This is the only car seat I have ever been comfortable installing because most others stress me out that Iâm not doing it right. This one has a base that just clicks into the little metal bar all cars have standard in their backseats (check the crack if you donât believe me) now. Then you make sure itâs pulled tight with the little strap and that the level on the side of the seat is looking level and boom itâs done. The infant seat just clicks right in and come it by lifting up while squeezing the back handle. Itâs extrnely easy.I also like how easy it is to losen and tighten the straps on the baby (as opposed to the Graco that makes it SO HARD). As being able to loosen it so easily helps get baby in easier and helps make getting sleeping baby out a possibility if needed.Additionally, this seat seems to be way more comfortable for baby than other options. She has been able to sleep in it no problem and she for a while wouldnât ever sleep anywhere else.Finally, we were in a car wreck when baby was 9 weeks old, and she was in this seat. She had absolutely no harm done her, PTL. Not saying thatâs because of the car seat, but itâs still nice to know that it did itâs job.

Safe and convenient
We had this same carseat for our first daughter, still had the carseat, but was over 6 years old…did not want to take the chance that it wasn’t the safest it could be as they expire after 6 years. We loved it the first time around, so we bought the same one! It is really well built and safe as well as so convenient. Just leave the base in the car and take the seat out when going in and out anywhere, no need to worry about taking the baby from the carseat to another device, she can stay asleep while at the store. Awesome carseat, we love it!

Awesome car seat!!
Absolutely LOVE this car seat. As a new mom and with all the talk and pressure of child safety, I was concerned about how complex a car seat could be. But after hours of research, reviews and questions I finally decided on this purchase and I couldnât be happier. The car seat is light weight, the material is soft, adjustments are easy, instructions are easy, and my baby seems comfortable while on it. My Only complaint, is when latched into the vehicle, it seems no matter how tight my husband or I make the straps, the front end of car seat seems to move slightly more than the minimum recommendations. It doesnât seem to be as bad when baby is in, perhaps his weight keeps it in place? But all in all amazing product! Highly recommend!

We love this car seat!
I just installed this for the first time in our van. Our baby is due in a few weeks and I wanted it ready to go. The base installs SO easily with latch. You just have to pull a strap, and it gets tight enough with no problem. Every other car seat I have had has been hard to tighten, and I’ve used quite a few as this is for our 5th child. I didn’t have to put a rolled up towel under this seat to get it to the right angle, and that is awesome! I LOVE the level on the base, it makes it easy to see that it’s installed properly.The seat isn’t too heavy and we will be able to use it for quite a while. Our daughter will outgrow the maximum height long before the weight. It seems really well cushioned and cozy for a baby, and it looks like it will fit her well.I will try to remember to update this after baby arrives and we actually use it for a while, but I am VERY happy with it so far!

Great Carrier!
I like this car seat! It is easy to install. I like the level on the base so you can tell if it is in the correct position when you put the carrier in. I like that it works with a wide range of the Chicco products. I was able to pick the stroller I wanted instead of being forced into a specific one. It has plenty of padding if you have to take a long trip. Which we have a couple of times. My only complaint is that the fabric isnât that breathable. Itâs okay for winter I can just put a light blanket on Baby. But now that it is summer in Texas he sweats after just a couple minutes in it. Overall a great car seat.

Love love love the pattern of this Chicco Keyfit 30
Love love love the pattern of this Chicco Keyfit 30! It almost has a purple sheen to the dots and the piping around the hood but it’s so faint it’s barely noticeable and it may just be my lighting as well.This is my 5th kiddo and definitely my preferred car seat. I’ve tried one of the graco infant seats and the britax b-safe for my last baby but the Keyfit is definitely my top pick for safety, comfort and ease of use.Plus, they are so versatile. You can order different infant inserts (with different textures) and different covers/canopy and pads also. I’m not sure if you can order them with other brands but I know you can with Chicco.Safety is obviously a huge factor for parents when buying a car seat and this is one of the top rated ones by CR so I know I’m getting a safe seat for my baby.

Great car seat!
Super happy with the purchase. I have research for a long time for a great infant car seat. Got in the mail pretty fast and itâs just what I was expecting. Durable, well made and looks really cute with the subtle polka dot print. Read the instructions and itâs pretty straight forward. Installed in my car was a breeze. Pretty light weight. I have the uppa baby stroller and bought the adapter to go with the chicco car seat and it works perfectly. All in all, Iâm so happy I purchased this car seat!

Really was easy to install!
So eight and a half years after we had our daughter and a nightmarish experience with a 3-in-1, we had much more wisdom, and researched seats that were both easy to install and had a small footprint. This one totally fits the bill! We were amazed how easy it was to install in our tiny Toyota Corolla. Our son is so comfy and cozy in the carrier part and no need to add extra rolled up blankets like was recommended to us before. Much easier to keep baby at the right angle so his head doesnât flop. Maybe weâve just come a long way in 8 years but we were super impressed with this purchase.

Cesar Enriquez –
Un asiento muy fácil de instalar y práctico para bebé. Tiene la ventaja de quitar toda la silla fácilmente desde la base para bajar al bebé del auto rápido. Un asiento cómodo y muy estético. Lo recomiendo.
