Description
The #1-rated Convertible Car Seat in America!
The NextFit® is engineered with innovative functionality to fit your vehicle and your child simply, accurately, and securely.
Easiest to Install Correctly
NextFit® features a 9-position ReclineSure® leveling system and RideRight® bubble level-indicators to help achieve and verify proper angle in the vehicle seat. Premium LATCH connectors and a SuperCinch® force-multiplying tightener help achieve a secure installation with a fraction of the effort. (When it’s time to switch from rear-facing to forward-facing, the LATCH strap passes easily through the built-in slide path for proper repositioning.) NextFit® also has integrated belt lock-offs for alternate installation with the vehicle seat belt.
From Newborn through Preschool
NextFit® is built for growth with a removable infant insert and a six-position headrest. As the headrest is raised, the shoulder strap position also raises and widens to accommodate growing children without re-threading. The harness also features a one-pull tightener and removable, machine-washable shoulder pads.

Easily the best convertible seat I have used/owned. It is extremely easy to install and uninstall, just like all of the chicco seats. It does not take up a ton of room front to back (I drive a Fusion and do not have to move the front seat up at all to accommodate the car seat in the back rear facing) and it still has very high weight and height limits. Very easy to get a very tight install and lots of recline options to make it comfy for your child! I would definitely recommend to any other parent as I would any chicco car seat. We are definitely faithful to the brand for many reasons
I wanted so badly for my son to just love this seat. It is unbelievably soft and has amazing reviews online. It is a dream to install as well. The only problem is that the frame has more of a C-shape. When my son became a toddler, he did not seem to like how deep he was sitting, so we had to get a different seat.
We have this seat for our son. He is big enough for a booster, but he still fits in this so we use it! I love the cushioned seat. And all the reclining positions. Perfect for rear facing little ones and forwards facing big kids. We will purchase another one when our little girl is old enough.
This was my sons 2nd carseat. The first was the chicco key fit, then this came along and we purchased in a heartbeat. Chicco products are great. This one is like a bucket seat they sink into and I feel like it's a little seat of protection. The only downside is the fabric used to make this is the type that snags, so watch your rings and anything velcro! It's worth every penny for all the safety features. I highly recommend this.
Anybody have this carseat for their child? How good is it? Is it the comfy carseat or doest if feel hard & not comfortable? Was wondering since im a mom to be for the second time, & i had bought a Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat for my firts child but its really uncomfortable, he sweats a lot & is just always complaining about it. Help!
Love love love this car seat. My little one is so comfortable in this, she can also rear face for like ne’er and I love that. It is a little more pricey than some other but it is most definitely worth it! It looks very nice and is also extremely safe.
I would rate this 10 stars!! Love the comfort and look of these seats. I really like the fact that it has a deep recline for Forward Facing and it is extremely easy for my 4 year old to nap. The install is easy and it has a nice height and weight limit.
Love this seat. It can grow with your child, from the time there born. Facing it backward and when old enuff, can have your child front facing.. and its very safe for your child and secure.
I love this car seat! I now own two I bought one for my daughter when she outgrew her infant seat and bought a second when I was pregnant with my second daughter. This is the only seat you’ll need! Easy clean up when the kids make messes or have accidents.
One of the best car seats that we have used for our 4 year old. He is always with us on long car rides and he never complains about being uncomfortable. Plus we know that he is very safe

This car seat tends to run about $300 unless you can find it on sale or use coupons. Some parents don't like the deep sides bc it makes it harder to get the child in and out without bonking their heads. There are many other car seats available on the market that do just as much and are less expensive. Take a look at the graco contender and graco size 4 me line.
I need some help on this one! Pros and cons? How safe would you feel with your little one in it? Suggestions to a different carseat if you don't recommend this one? Thanks!

We actually ended up going with the Britax B-agile system instead of Chico. I felt that the Britax held up the test of time with the steel frame.
how is this for infants? My four month old has outgrown her infant seat and I want something comfortable for her!

My son went through two of these. They're awesome! I'd say get the zip edition though, it might not get dirty now, but as she gets older it will. It's nice to be able to zip the top off, toss it in the washer and have it nice and clean. I will say my son did sweat a lot though, I dont know if the seat was part of the reason or what... other than that. Perfect seat!
Would this seat work in a smaller car?
