Chicco KeyFit® 35 Zip ClearTex® Car Seat and Base, Rear-Facing Seat for Infants 4-35 lbs, Infant Head and Body Support, Zip-Open Privacy Shield, Compatible with Chicco Strollers | Ash/Grey

Love this car seat! Super easy to install and use!! Would totally get it again

This car seat is AMAZING. It's so comfortable, my 7lb newborn falls asleep almost immediately in it. His head does not fall forward or to the side at all. The car seat snapa in perfect in our Chicco Bravo stroller. Only con is how heavy the seat is!

Durable, safe, easy to install and move between 2 cars (with an extra base).

Easy to use, easy enough to clean, well constructed and comfortable. Baby sleeps in it on car rides often. It’s heavy, but babies are heavy. We bought the stroller to, it’s all been great

Cons- it's on the heavier side. My 3 month old is almost 17 lbs, so it can get heavy with the carseat weighing around 10lbs by itself. The anti-rebound base takes up a ton of room. It's not as bad without the base, but the carseat itself is still pretty long. For Reference- I have a jeep grand cherokee and I'm 5'4. We sat it on the passenger side and my knees are only a couple inches away from the dash when hubby is driving. Definitely would not recommend if you're both tall. I'll also note that there isn't a normal base without the rebound bar that you can use with this carseat. To move the handle, you have to press both sides, which can be a pain when you only have one free hand. Pros- it snaps into the base and it's easy to release to get the carseat out, just raise a button. The harness straps for baby have a release button at the bottom to allow slack for when your taking baby out of the carseat. When you put baby back in it, all you have to do is buckle them back up, then pull the strap at the bottom and it tightens the harness back up. Less chance of pinching them this way. You can use it without a base, which is one of the main reasons I chose this one. I didn't want to spend $100+ on extra bases. The lap belt goes across the top in the notches, shoulder belt goes around the back into the notch. Other- The fabric is soft and comfortable, but also not very breathable. Our babe is hot natured though and we live in Alabama. Luckily it's winter now, but we'll have to move him to a convertible seat by summer or he'll get too hot. If you live in the northern states, you're probably be fine. It does have the weather shield that you can pull down instead of having to buy a cover, but I honestly haven't had to use it, so I can't comment on how well it works. I'll update when I do. It comes with a cover for the buckle to help prevent pinching baby's legs, however once we took the newborn insert out, the cover kept falling out. Overall I give it 4/5. It could be better, but it's worth the ~$200 we paid.
