Description

The KeyFit 35 Zip ClearTex Extended-Use Infant Car Seat comfortably maximizes rear-facing use with more headrest height and legroom.

From textiles to tags, ClearTex means no added chemicals and the breathable canopy features a zip-open, full-coverage privacy shield. It also has a machine washable, quick-remove seat pad for easy cleanup.

The KeyFit 35 Zip ClearTex has a 5-position, Easy-Extend Headrest System that raises with the harness to accommodate growth up to 32” tall, allowing you to keep your little one in the same rear-facing car seat for longer. The integrated anti-rebound bar provides added stability for every ride while offering extended legroom for your growing baby. A removable ergonomic newborn positioner provides added support for infants weighing 4-11 lbs.

It’s super easy to install and use correctly, too. Premium LATCH connectors and a SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener help achieve a secure fit with a fraction of the effort. One-hand ReclineSure spring-loaded leveling foot works in tandem with RideRight bubble levels to help verify and achieve proper car seat angle. And the LockSure steel-reinforced belt system helps achieve a secure fit with the vehicle belt.

To create a travel system, the car seat offers one-hand, click-in attachment with compatible Chicco strollers. It can also be installed without the base—handy for families who rideshare often.

Beautiful car seat
We are fans of Chico and were very excited to receive this one for our second baby. Arrived quickly and everything was in great condition!

The PERFECT car seat!
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!

Costly Error
Chicco sent the wrong item, which was purchased as a gift for an expectant mother who was in need of the baby car seat.

Purchase and delivery
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!
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!
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!

Buy something else
DO NOT BUY THIS!
1. Extremely heavy and cumbersome compared to other car seats
2. My baby is 5 months and barely still fits into it, no way he’s lasting 24 months/35lbs as advertised (and he’s not a super big baby, very average and on the lean side)
3. The strapping method is horrible, you have to bend baby’s legs to get him in and it’s almost painful how much I have to contort his body.
4. It tightens by pulling the front ribbon hanging down but often you have to reach to the back and pull there first to adjust or the straps are not proportional, just an overall terrible design.

0-10 wish I never wasted my money on this.

Excellent car seat
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.

Keyfit 35 car seat
I bought this about 2 months ago but what I don’t like about it is that the car seat itself is very heavy compared to other car seats.

Disappointed all around…
The extra fabric on the canopy makes it nearly impossible to put the handle back, extremely frustrating. Also lost $100, needing to pay for our own shipping costs to return the item. I suggest not buying directly from Chicco. Very disappointed by the entire process for such a well reputable company.
