Chicco KeyFit 35 ClearTex Infant Car Seat - Legend

So I really wanted to love this car seat. I was looking for a more affordable car seat in place of getting the Nuna. I ended up returning the car seat after using it for a couple months. I loved that it's made with clean materials. My only gripe is that my baby HATED the car seat. She isn't a massive baby for it to be uncomfortable.... she was born 21 inches and 7lb 13oz. From day one she absolutely disposed it. I think the shape of the car seat is way too deep (c-shaped) and it made her very uncomfortable. We tried everything from removing the insert, buying different inserts, adjusting the headrest, etc. and nothing worked. Once we put her in it, she'd cry bloody murder. We swapped her out to a cybex convertible car seat and she's a happy camper now. It's much roomier and L-shaped, so I think that was the issue. I had no clue there were different shapes to car seats as I'm a FTM, so keep that in mind when purchasing.

Great safe seat and base but just more costly than it should be sadly

My husband, three-month-old baby, and I were driving home in a wind storm and a tree fell into the path of our vehicle, totaling it. Branches came through the car, including one that struck our son’s car seat and ended up resting right above his head. The impact bent the car seat, but our son didn’t have a scratch on him. So grateful for this quality product that saved his life.

This seems like a quality product, and we're excited to use it for our son soon! This car seat comes with a base, as seen in some of the pictures. Both pieces are very study yet lightweight.

Well constructed and easy to use. Great price point.

Likes: Easy to install! Comfortable for my baby. Easy to strap in and very secure! Dislikes: HEAVY. It is 24 pounds and when your baby is a new born it’s fine but then 7 months later when you have a 21-pound baby, the whole system easily weighs 40+ pounds. Our driveway isn’t close to our home so we have to carry it far and it is so heavy, we are constantly stopping to readjust. Can’t remove liner. When blowouts happen in the car, you have to wipe down the mess instead of just throwing it in the wash.

Absolutely love this car seat! For my first child we had the uppababy Mesa but this one is SO much better for less money. The install is incredibly easy literally takes about two seconds. The materials feel just as high quality as our former luxury infant car seat. Plus it is still heavy but 2 lbs lighter than our previous. I highly recommend this for anyone that wants a quality and sturdy seat for a reasonable price. I have 0 complaints

Seems fine from a safety stand point but belts are too short to reach the sides and makes loading and unloading baby difficult. Also frustrating that our 6 month has almost outgrown it and we need to start shopping again so soon.

I Love the Chicco keyfit 35! The quality is great and the fabric is soft. The base is so easy to install yourself, which is so nice if you are in a hurry and have to move it to another vehicle. While looking and researching car seats, I wanted the Nuna, since it was light weight. The price was crazy. Then the Chicco I saw online and saw it in store. It is light, soft, easy and most importantly so safe! BUY IT.

This car seat is very easy to connect to base and take off and out of car. It's a great size and not too heavy.

As an extremely anxious FTM, I finally decided on this car seat after spending and insane amount of time reading safety reviews, watching crash tests, and freezing fabrics in stores. This car seat constantly ranked as one of the safest, and the quality of the material is very good. My little one has no issues falling asleep in this within minutes, so it must be pretty comfortable. It is a little heavier than most, but I appreciate that it feels more sturdy. The only complaints I have are that you have to press both sides of the handle to adjust it, which can get awkward when reaching into the car and impossible when trying to adjust while holding a baby. The shade also is pretty thick, so it gets stuck when trying to adjust it past the seat handle

We're currently using this seat for my 7 month old, and from day one this seat has been amazing!! The no-rethread harness is my favorite feature by far. That, coupled with the easiest base I've ever installed makes this seat top tier in my book. I have 2 chicco strollers (corso le and presto) that I use with this seat and they both attach easily and effortlessly. My little guy is just that, a little guy. So we'll have this seat for him well past his first birthday, which is important to us because we intend to rear face as long as possible. When we have our next little one we'll most likely be upgrading our little guy to the fit360 (can't wait to try that out). So stay tuned for that review!!

Thumbs up

Great car seat

Quality is great

One of our bases works great. The other one was installed once, then removed for testing. I pulled the anchor strap cord to get them to tuck back into the base. Sad to say the anchor straps will not release from the base now. So, I cannot get the straps to release in order to click to hooks under seat.

Honestly one of the better car seats I’ve ever seen. I got this for a gift for my best friend. It’s her first baby and she did the research. I just put it in her car today to get ready for the little guy. It was the easiest process I’ve ever endured. I’m a police officer and am trained in the proper way to put car seats in. This was so simple and easy. The two “clips” that hook into the bottom of the seat are actually like little seat buckles. They push in and are easy to take off if needed to remove the base. Tightening was easy. We fed the lap and shoulder belt through the bottom and locked it in place. This car seat is not moving. The car seat itself is beautiful. Easy to maneuver. Not too heavy. Inside the car seat has one of those fitted pieces that the baby sits in and it feels like memory foam. The hood of the car seat isn’t attached and can be moved all the way up or down and doesn’t get in the way of the release. I’m overall pleased with this purchase and so is she. We just cannot wait for little man.

I love the car seat it was easy to put together. I am looking forward to riding around with my grandbaby in it and traveling around.

Expecting twins this summer. Bought this car seat because it was highly rated and reviewed for safety and easy of installation. As anticipated, this car seat was easy to install. However, I did not realize its limitations in regards to its use with a stroller. If you are expecting twins, please know that there is currently not a Chicco frame stroller to fit two keyfit 35 car seats. You will have to buy two individual frame strollers. Also, this car seat is shown online to not work with the snap-n-go double stroller. There is also not an adapter available for many well-rated double strollers like Contours. I wish I had known this before buying.

Seat looks great and functions well. Fits my newborn perfectly
