 Baby on board November 20, 2008
Robert Hurlbert
I highly recommend this car seat. Well designed, well made. Very handy to be able to leave the base in the car, just unsnap the carrier & go.
Wish it was softer September 23, 2008
Sona Bakijanian
I ordered this car seat because it was rated by Consumer Digest as the safest. It is definately easy to use. My only complaint is that the material is not soft. It's kind of has a vinyl feel to it.
easy to use, seems comfortable, but a bit heavy September 3, 2008
J. Katz (Oakland, CA United States)
This is a nice car seat -- easy to install initially and easy to take the seat in and out of the base. The straps are also all very simple to adjust and attach and detach. It was rated very well in Consumer Reports because of this -- not because it is safest, but because it is easiest to use. They do not address safety ratings per se.
My only complaint (and I don't have much to compare against I must admit) is that it is fairly heavy to carry around. It is very cumbersome to carry at your side (arm extended, seat by your knees) -- but carries OK if you hold the handle on the side and hold the seat against your chest. This is especially true when navigating tight spaces or walking up stairs.
It is also large enough that it makes it near impossible to sit in the front seat when the chair is installed in my mid-sized car (Subaru WRX wagon). This is pretty inconvenient, but I don't know that another infant seat would be any better.
Oh, and just to nit-pick, the shade canopy isn't really big enough to fully shade the child, and it also gets in the way of the handle a bit when pushed back to stow it.
 KeyFit-30 Seatpad Poor Quality August 23, 2008
David W. (Burbank, CA)
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Purchased a KeyFit-30 in Atmosphere for my son on 07/28/08 and used it for about one-week...
The seat emits strong foam/fabric fumes for the first week. Outside of short vehicle trips, the seat stays in the patio so the odor can be "aired-out".
Interested in finding the source of the fumes, I remove the canopy & seatpad from the seat core. To my surprise, there is ~4-inch tear with exposed holofil on the reverse-side of the seatpad (near the baby's "bottom").
Emailed Chicco customer service two-weeks ago... No signs of the replacement seatpad yet.
The Chicco KeyFit-30 is simple to install in the SUV. The lock & unlock of the seat from its base is positive and natural (ergonomic-wise). The seat straps are easy-to-use (once you read the instructions & practice a few times). The seat works well with the BumbleRide Indie. These are attributes to the seat's excellent engineering.
The smelly foam & easily-ripped fabric denotes poor quality control & inadequate quality assurance at the manufacture locale (China).
Great carseat July 23, 2008
J. Alexander
This is a great carseat - we love it. Easy to install, easy to snap in and out of the base, easy to strap the baby in, easy to clean, nice neutral colors. Doesn't really fit in the shopping cart, but I don't feel like the ones that do are safe there anyway.
One thing I don't see a use for, now that we have it, is the 30lb weight limit. We bought this carseat for our 2nd child (had a convertible for our 1st - no infant seat like this) and our 1st child, who is nearly 2 1/2 isn't 30 lbs yets and there's no way she'd still fit in this seat. I guess maybe if you've got a good robust baby it might come in handy, but otherwise...
Good value for a well-made product!
