I love this car seat! I am a researcher by nature, so I read a lot about different car seats before deciding on this one. I feel confident in my decision with it being the number one rated car seat by consumer reports. I like knowing that my baby is safe as can be in the car; It's also nice knowing that if she was born small, this seat is recommended by NICU nurses because of it's secure design. There are many color options to chose from, with some of them being gender neutral. The car seat fits in both of our cars with enough room with spare, and it's very easy to remove the seat from the base. The latch system and the level indicators make installing the base a breeze. The straps are easy to adjust/tighten which is definitely a plus because I've dealt with some in the past that were not. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to other parents. Chicco provided this product to me in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is our second Keyfit30 (first Keyfit30 zip) which is for our 3rd child who is due in the spring. Chicco provided this product to me in exchange for my honest opinion. REASONS I LOVE THIS CAR SEAT: Number one-- It is super easy to install in your car. The instructions are clear, the bubble levels let you know when you've leveled the seat, and the LATCH connectors tighten easily with ONE PULL strap. Also, the instruction manual has a storage compartment so you don't lose it if you have look something up (like how to install it in a different type of car or without the base or when baby needs to switch to a bigger seat). My husband and I have joked that Chicco's seats are "marriage savers" because while we've heard other people complain about installing their kid's car seats, Chicco's are so easy to install we don't argue or get mad at each other while doing it. Other reasons I love this seat... --The straps are easily loosened and tightened, AND the shoulder pads are now easily removable! Just unvelcro them and you can toss them in the wash whenever they get drool or spit up on them. --The canopy can be unzipped on the back so that it rotates all the way forward in front of baby's face for when the sun is coming in the back of the car. The visor on the front also zips off or the whole canopy can be removed completely. --It comes with a zip off "boot" which is like a padded blanket for over baby's legs, and won't blow away in the winter wind. --It's quality AND it's pretty. The fabric is soft and plush and not plastic-y feeling. The serene model is a light gray and light turquoise. I think it can easily be used boy or girl. --It comes with all of these features, but doesn't break the bank. Some infant seats can be over $300! --It's compatible with A TON of strollers. OBSERVATIONS/POTENTIAL CONCERNS: --The padding on this car seat is plush, and I remember with our original Keyfit30 that our kids would sweat on their backs in the summer because the plushness didn't allow for a lot of airflow. I will be curious to see if that is still the same with my 3rd child and the new seat come summer. That being said, I know Chicco also makes a "Keyfit30 Zip Air" that is supposed to have a more breathable material on the seat (but maybe that one would be colder in the winter? I don't know.) --When I read a description of the Keyfit30 zip (on another website), I thought the actual seat cover would zip off much like the Chicco Nextfit Zip does. That's not the case. The cover is still easily removable and washable, but it's not with a zipper. Just a heads up in case you read a review on another website like I did. The parts that zip off are the canopy, visor, and boot.

I bought chicco travel systems with my first two girls, with my third baby we got a graco. We had to replace the car seat, and we bought a chicco again:)

I just purchased this for our baby girl, thinking it was more teal than blue. We just received it and took it out of the box and was sad to see that it's more blue, so much so that I'm going to return it. Chicco doesn't seem to have many options for the girls.

My great granddaughter just came home from the hospital in this! Very happy! She's safe! It's recommended by hospitals!

We live in Tucson; summers are long and hot here. Every time we put kiddo in our previous car seat, she'd come out w/ a drenched back and looking slightly roasted. Some folks we thought should know suggested the KeyFit 30 Zip Air. The change has been remarkable! I think there's only been one day since getting the new carseat that she's been sweaty in the seat (was already hot when she got in). Everything about the seat works smoothly: the base couldn't be easier to install; the seat snaps in and out smoothly and easily every time; and the buckles are easy to un/clip one-handed. So, if you live where it's hot, your kid's gonna thank you for going w/ the Zip Air (once s/he can talk).

We got this carseat to replace a Britax B-safe 35 Elite, which was too hot, too heavy, and for which our little one grew too big. The Chicco Keyfit 30 Zip Air is light and airy, the latter aspect being crucial in the heat of the desert summer. Not only does the kiddo stay much cooler, she can also see out better, which we have found she really enjoys (the Britax seemed much more confined around the head, and definitely not as ventilated/breathable). We like that the seat rocks when sitting on the floor; sometimes she'll want to just sit in it while in the house.

My 2 week old is so uncomfortable in this seat. Unlike the original keyfit we had for my now 3 year old, the pad only goes part way up their back forcing them into a scrunchy C position. It's awful and we will be figuring out how to return it. Really inimpresssd.

I bought this for my son that was born under 7 lbs and it works great with the infant insert.

We just took our son home from the hospital today and did not make a peep from this car seat. He was so cozy and comfy nuzzled against the headrest. My husband said it took 20 seconds to install as well. Great car seat! Chicco products are fabulous.

This is my second Chicco car seat. I adored my first and knew I would be getting another Chicco for this baby. I love that the cover is completely removable and it's easy to remove. The baby will be born in August but the cover will be helpful come October when the wind gets chilly. No struggling with a canopy or blanket. I love how easily Chicco is installed and the fabric is so soft! The multicolored zipper was an unexpected and pleasant surprise!

Our KeyFit30 Car Seat arrived just in time for my sister to use it for her 18 month old while she was visiting for our baby shower. It was the perfect chance to test it out, and see how it works. Adjusting it from the infant setting to an 18 month old fitting to get it ready for her was incredibly easy, and my niece looked nice and snug. The fabric is breathable, and easy to clean as well. We also have the Bravo® Quick-Fold Stroller to use as the caddy, and that was just another great feature that was quick and easy to use! Overall, i'm very happy with this decision and i'm excited to take our little guy home in it!

I love this car seat and base! The material is lightweight, and allows my son to stay cool in the heat. The car seat clicks easily into the base and then right into my Chico Bravo stroller; it is effortless! I love how the base was so simple to install in my car- leveling foot and bubble levels made me feel so comfortable that I installed it correct. I am very concerned with safety and did a lot of research on car seats. The KeyFit 30 Zip Air Infant Car Seat and Base came highly rated and it lived up to my high expectations. We are very happy with this car seat. I feel confident that our baby is safe and comfortable.

This car seat is made with very high quality materials. It feels incredibly sturdy. The padding is easy to remove, which is super convenient for washing. Installation is not complex and the car seat is not too bulky to get in and out of the car. This product definitely is a great reassurance for us, being first time parents.

I have had this seat now for almost 2 weeks. My baby girl appears very comfortable in the seat and it is very snug fitting that I really feel like she is safe. The seat is also very easy to get in and out of the car/base. My favorite part is the CANOPY COVER, it covers past midway for extra sun protection and with having another son who loves to be outside, I feel safe having the extra protection for outside at the park, etc. The one thing that I don't like is that the base does not have a front tie down for my car, but it is secure with all the other straps. All is ALL and amazing seat and my baby is safe :)

Great product, would highly recommend! As first time parents, my husband and I were both relieved and impressed by the Chicco Keyfit 30 zip's ease of usability. The directions for installing the base are simple-- we tried both the latch lock in as well as, the lap belt lock in. We will probably end up using both the first few months for an added sense of security! The double bubble system for making sure the car set base is secured and level was awesome! It was definitely my husband's favorite aspect of the installation. The Car seat is lightweight and extremely easy to click in and out of the car seat base with one hand. I especially liked the orange buttons for adjusting the handle bars, and to slide the car seat in and out of the base. The pull on latch makes sure the car seat base is snug and only moves an inch or so from side to side. We had read a number of articles that said the best place to install a car seat rear facing for security is the center back seat, however with our car, there is only one latch in the middle seat, so we'd have to use the lap seat lock in method which seemed less sturdy. We will most likely keep the seat in the back passenger side. The newborn insert is a nice touch, as we will be able to continue to use it from hospital for most of the baby's first year! We like the zip features, but are still not exactly sure what the purpose of the "boot is"-I'm guessing we will learn more with time. The seat does go pretty far forward, so for passengers with longer legs in the front, it is a little "squished" with the car seat in place. Given the fact that we are planning a cross country trip this summer, we are excited to be able to click in and out with ease and feel assured that our baby is in a safe car seat. It seems like the easiest way to plug baby into the car seat is by putting her in the seat before clicking into the base to avoid waking her when she's sleeping. We were also excited to hear that the chicco works with the stroller we had purchased, even though it's a different brand. Thanks Chicco for another amazing product, we continue to be impressed!

We received this car seat and are very impressed! When the box arrived the seat was assembled, with the seat snapped into the base. I am impressed at the weight of the actual base component, it wont be sliding around. The level made it a simple install. The car seat itself is very light weight, compared to others I have used in the past with my other children. The canopy is AMAZING! You can either zip it to minimize airflow, or leave it unzipped so the baby can get a breeze and it goes way down so you can block the sun, and strangers from getting to them. The boot is easily removed by unhooking the sides with Velcro, I won't use the zipper option here, its just as easy to remove completely. The infant insert is so cushy and soft. The design of the insert, makes for a snug fit when baby is in there. Once the baby grows, there is plenty of room to adjust and make this a comfortable seat for the first year. I am extremely happy with this seat and definitely suggest purchasing it!

After numerous visits to numerous babies r us's to practice carrying, removing and installing every single car seat known to man, I can say I am officially an expert when it comes to infant car seats. My wife and I decided on the chicco keyfit 30 zip for many reasons. It is by far the easiest to install and remove from the base. We also liked the comfort from the handle when holding it, and it's compatibility with everything! It feels lighter than most car seats without feeling cheap. My wife also likes the color, quality, and softness of a the fabric. The hood moves easily forward and backward without interfering with the handle. I highly recommend this car seat! It's guranteed to make your WIFE happy but more importantly, your baby!

Well-made, and easy to use. I brought this car seat for my grandchild. I love the cushioning and safety features. My little "bean" will be protected and safe in this car seat. I will purchase from Chicco again!

I absolutely love this car seat! Providing safety to my child is a top priority and this car seat allows me to do so without a worry. The base is super easy to install with the LATCH system as well as the bubble levels. The car seat also clicks when securing to either the base or the stroller so you definitely know it's locked. Then, once ready to remove, the one hand release makes for a simple transition! The removable seat pad and supports add to the convenience as well, making cleaning a breeze. I am so thankful for this car seat!!

I couldn't believe how easy the base was to install into the car. I have previously struggled with getting a good installation with other car seats in the past, and I appreciate the ease of installing with the LATCH system. I feel confident that this is a great seat for our new baby.

We love this car seat! Installation of the base couldn't be simpler. The seat is super easy to remove from the base, but yet has a nice solid click to let you know it is connected. It is also sturdy and well made, typical of any Chicco product. The zip-off attachments on this particular model are a nice touch.

This seat is a cinch to install! Its the easiest I've ever had to get in quickly and snug. Baby is safe and has not been sweaty when pulling him out unlike the original keyfit we had with our last. My only complaint is the canopy can be a pain to push back.

I bought this seat after much deliberation as whether to use my 2 year old Chicco Keyfit 30 for the new baby. Some of the features that I love instantly was my baby not sweating when picking her up from the seat as opposed to the Keyfit I had. The weight continues to remain around the same, but not much a big problem as I don't have a big baby. Overall, this was a great purchase!!!

Such a great car seat! Love the color and how it fits in the stroller!

Got one 5 years ago for my first daughter. Just got the fuscia zip for my 2nd daughter. Great price, quick delivery. Wish it was a bit lighter since I'm older but great product. Thank you Chicco

Bought his for my my first car seat. It was easy to install and we are ready to bring our baby home in it soon

This carseat is one of the best if not the best out I got it for my new born and I have no complaints yet and honestly I can say I will most likely have no issues at all.

This will be the perfect car seat for our little one! Installation was very easy, especially with the self-leveling feature. The zip feature will definitely come in handy with inclement weather, and we looove that it allows us to simply unzip and throw it into our washer to be cleaned. The material is extremely soft and reassures us that our little man will be comfortable but also safe when we transport him home. Highly recommend this product!

I had previously used the Keyfit 30 without the new zip features and have always been happy with this carseat. Always go to a professional carseat installation technician when you are first learning to install a carseat in your car. Once you have learned, this carseat is simple to install with or without using the LATCH features. The seat comes off the base easily to be placed on a stroller. I like the added zip boot for warmth for infants. Hopefully it will help people to dress their children appropriately for the carseat. This car seat is durable and great new features were added.

Buying for my daughter in anticipation of her first baby. Other grandchildren used this model new and also passed between family members for new babies. Easy to use, even for a grandparent. Leading car seat for new moms I know. My kids used the original GM infant bucket car seat - car seats have come a long way.

I got this product for my third child. I did not have a Chicco infant car seat for my first two children, and now I really wish I had. This car seat is so easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to carry! I love the zipper panel that can be used in colder weather so that I don't put my child in unsafe layers, and I LOVE how easy it is to install. I always worry if I am installing car seats the right way to make sure my children are safest, but with Chicco I don't have to worry, since its so easy and you really can't screw it up! The materials are well made, easy to clean, and hold up so well to daily use! I am so glad that I got this car seat to keep my child safe and make my life easier.

We really like that its not very bulky and easy to get in and out of the car. The zip around boot is a nice feature our other car seat did not come with. We like that we can easily remove the seat pad to wash an that it is super cushioned. Cant wait to use this when the warmer weather hits with the air mesh. We are overall very happy with this car seat and would recommend this product!

We have a 1 1/2 year old and twins on the way and loved our chicco products with our first child. Our 1 1/2 year old has not quite met the height/weight limit for these car seats yet and he seemed very comfortable in it. We really like the new zip features to this new chicco car seat. The latch feature makes it very quick and easy to safely install the car seat into the car each time we go somewhere we just have to place the seat on the base and it latches in. We would recommend chicco products to everyone!

I love this seat. Been using for only a week with my newborn and it's so easy to use. Chose for safety and ease of installation and feel the seat has exceeded expectations.
