Safety First: my feedback

This seat was engineered for one thing. To keep your child safe. It's heavy, it's got a tough outer shell with a very soft interior. It's heavy. I'd say at least 30 pounds and it does not detach. It is the master of keeping your kid safe and that's it. If you are looking for a car seat that is engineered for the safe transportation of your kid then pay the extra $$$. It's worth it.

Pros
  • HEAD AND TORSO PROTECTION — Superior DuoGuard with deep rigid shell for head and body support, EPS energy-absorbing foam and steel-reinforced frame offer reassuring protection.
Cons
  • May be uncomfortable for some children

Best carseat I've ever owned

I had to return another carseat due to trouble installing with bucket seats. This carseat is amazing! Installation is very easy and fast. It's heavy but seems so safe! My little one is also very comfortable. Adjusting straps is easy. Love this carseat!

Pros
  • The car seat also features energy-absorbing foam and a spacious shell that will protect your child in the event of a side-impact collision
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove and reattach from the car

Extremely happy customer!

We purchased the Keyfit 30 infant seat and was extremely happy with how comfortable our son was and how safe yet easy installation was. When it was time for a convertible seat we actually bought a Graco 4ever because it was recommended to us multiple times. We HATED that seat, my husband and I both struggled with getting it synched down safely and my son never looked comfortable no matter what the incline was. I decided to order a new seat and stay in the Chicco family since we did love our…

Pros
  • Car Seats & Accessories
Cons
  • May not have enough legroom for taller children

Great for safety with a few drawbacks

As a first time mom, I spent a good amount of time researching car seats in hopes of finding the perfect one for us. This one comes close to being perfect but has a few drawbacks in my opinion. (Mainly ease of use issues).1. No slot on side of seat for metal harness clips to be stored. Every time I go to put our 10 month old daughter in her seat she sits directly on the harness straps and metal clips. Then it’s a game of tug and war to get them out from under her. Not to mention we live in AZ…

Pros
  • The Chicco NextFit Zip Convertible Car Seat features a buckle system that makes it easy to keep your child securely strapped in, avoiding any uncomfortable tugging or pinching
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children who do not like being strapped in

OMG why are the straps so short!?!

They screwed up on the shoulder straps with this model. They are about 2-3" too short. This prevents you from placing each strap over the edge of the seat to make it easier for your kid to get into the seat without sitting on top of the straps. This is our 4th car seat(1st from Chicco) and first one to have this issue. And the cup holder. Good lord could they have made that thing any cheaper? It is basically pointless because it will fall off if you sneeze in it's general direction. M wife…

Pros
  • Because it's convertible, the NextFit Zip eliminates the need for parents to purchase multiple car seats as their child grows and transitions from an infant to a toddler
Cons
  • May not provide sufficient protection in case of a collision

Love this seat! for my opinion

I LOVE this car seat! I researched so many and I always went back to this one! Yea it’s big but my baby fits down in it, making him safer if something were to happen! He sleeps so good In the seat too, so I could say he finds it comfortable! I would buy another one in a heart beat!

Pros
  • The NextFit Zip's seat pad is easy to remove and doesn't require disassembling the car seat to clean, making it convenient for busy parents
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of seat belts

Fan favorite - my new review

Well rated and seems safe. I like the curved nature around the head. Not as large as some other options that we looked into which was a plus. Fits in the middle seat of our Mazda cx-5 which is great because my husband and I are tall and felt squished when it was behind the passenger seat. We upgraded from a Chico key fit 30 and like that the straps and clips are the same. Always pulls out evenly when adjusting the straps. It’s easy to install (meter on side says if you’ve got it in correctly)…

Pros
  • Took a bit of time to install but I think that was mostly me not going through the instructions prop
Cons
  • Does not include a cupholder or tray

Best car seat we have owned

This car seat is heavy, but safe! The instillation is so easy and the tight fit is amazing! We love this seat so much we have purchased two of the exact same seat.

Pros
  • With its high-quality materials and construction, the Chicco NextFit Zip Convertible Car Seat is built to last, providing excellent value for your money
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in colder weather

Safe, comfortable, and extremely easy

I love this car seat. It is super easy to install with the supercinch system. It takes less than 5 minutes to get an excellent and safe installation. The seat itself seems really comfortable and most importantly really sturdy. I like the high sides and the protection they seem to offer. Despite the high sides and having a small vehicle, I have had no issues getting an almost 2 year old in rear facing.The zip cover makes it really easy to clean, which is really nice. This seat is really well…

Pros
  • The car seat's adjustable headrest and harness ensure that it can be tailored to fit your child snugly and securely, minimizing the risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden stop
Cons
  • May be too narrow for some children
