Product 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.

- ReclineSure® 9-position leveling system for an accurate fit in a wider range of vehicles
- Dual RideRight® bubble level-indicators verify seat angle in both rear-facing and forward-facing modes
- Premium connectors and a SuperCinch® tightener help achieve a secure installation with LATCH

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.
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!
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
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.
This car seat works wonders!!! This was my most expensive item on my baby shower list and I'm so happy my family purchased it. Prior to setting it up, I had a Graco car seat. When I was discharged from the hospital, I put my little one in the Graco car seat and she cried all the way home due to discomfort. So it was a huge sigh of relief to receive the NextFit in the mail the day of my discharge. I immediately changed car seats and went for a little drive to test out how she liked it. She slept to and from the store. To this day, she still sleeps when she gets into her car seat. I'm so amazed by the comfort of this product. There's a lot of cushion, which is what the Graco product lacked. As your child gets older, you can take the cushion away. Don't worry there's still plenty of cushion left. It has 9 different positions because it's a grow you go product. I love it and look forward to purchasing more products from Chicco.
I love this car seat! We got it for my oldest daughter at Target when she was about 7 months and we are still using it. She just turned 4! It is so cushy for her. It feels solid and durable and my favorite part is how easy it is to install. 3 steps and you're done! It is a little pricey, but totally worth it. You can't put a price on your child's safety, right? Of course, in the last 4 years we have had blowouts, potty training accidents, and stomach flu. The great thing is that it is very easy to take apart and clean! We are excited to get our youngest in one pretty soon!

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.
Would this seat work in a smaller car?

I have a Dodge Avenger (not tiny but not huge) and it fits great in my car!
Would what be your pros and cons about this car seat?

The ONLY con that I think there is, is that it does not go into a booster, so around three years old or so (depending on height and weight) you will have to get a new one. BUT, aside from that, this was the best car seat I've found. There are nine reclines, so when your child sleeps in the car you don't have to worry about their heads sliding forward or anything. The car seat comes around them so it gave me more piece of mind for safety and this car seat has awesome safety ratings and using the latch is the best way for installation! My son loved it too. He was in this car seat from 8 months to almost 3 years old.
