Review on Chicco NextFit Max ClearTex Convertible Car Seat - Rear-Facing For Infants 12-40Lbs And Forward-Facing For Toddlers 25-65Lbs In Chic Cove/Grey Design - Smart Baby Travel Gear by Sonya Lewis

I waited a year to write this review so I can really recommend this product and let me just tell you, I LOVE THIS CAR SEAT!When comparison shopping for a car seat my biggest issue with almost all other seats I looked into was size when used rear facing. I drive a Nissan Versa note (very small and compact) so having a car seat that I could use rear facing for as long as possible was the most important factor. This car seat, even when reclined all the way, still allows me to fit in my drivers seat. The only space issue is the width of the seat. If I install it in the center seat then there is almost no room on either side for another adult. When installed on either side it leaves enough room for one person to comfortably sit. It’s perfect for us because we are a family of three but definitely something to consider.The absolute game changer has been how comfortable this car seat has been for my child. I live in a city with heavy traffic and I also travel to a neighboring city which is two and a half hours away regularly and my daughter has not once had a meltdown in her car seat. Yes you read that right, in one year of use NOT ONE meltdown. She just turned two and is in the 70th percentile for height but still can comfortably ride rear facing.All in all this is a great car seat and I cannot believe I waited so long to buy it. The only regret I have is not going with the zipper version for easier washing but tbh it doesn’t make it or break it for me.
