I really like this car seat
December 20, 2016
Best car seat ever, I have two car seats like this, but different colour, and my kids really love them. They are very comfortable, easy to use, and especially those car seats really good for long trip.

Easy to install and use
December 20, 2016
I got this 2 weeks ago, I read the instructions, tried all the latching and reclining features on the seat while it sat on the floor in my house, once I was familiar with it, I installed it in my car. It was very easy to install and will be a wonderfully safe seat to use for all the years that I will be needing to have a child in a carseat!!!

We are overall very pleased with these car seats. This was the best price we had found for this seat. The only complaint we have is that the strap is tough to tighten up.

We love the seat the only bad thing I've noticed is sometimes the straps won't tighten enough or one strap will tighter more that the other.

Very safe
December 19, 2016
We bought 2 of these - one for each car. I like Chicco for their safety record. We were excited about the ease of the zipper cover and the flex-out comfort harness to keep the straps away. The comfort harness is a joke. It does absolutely nothing. The zip out cover is not even close to as easy as they advertise. I like this product for safety but clearly not worth the extra month for the "convenient" features. I would only recommend it for the safety record.

This item was very easy to install. It has a lot of cushion which my son seems to like. It is heavy but that's because it's well made and not cheap.

Love this carseat!
December 17, 2016
We have loved this seat so much for our now 2 year-old that we recently purchased a second seat that our newest little addition will grow into. We love how easy it is to adjust the straps and to be sure the seat is installed correctly. The only down side, for us, is the height of the side of the seat, which can make it a little tricky to get a rear-facing almost-two-year-old in and out of a mid-size sedan. But, we've been able to make it work!

Great seat and fast shipping
December 16, 2016
I ordered the Chicco car seat and literally received it the next day! Shipping was also FREE. We love the seat, the color is more red than raspberry- which is perfect for us. I would not hesitate to buy the Chicco NextFit Convertible Car Seat and to purchase from AllbeeBaby.com. Super impressed by their communication, speed of delivery and inventory. Thank you!
Pros
  • Sturdy, easy to use, attractive and durable. Rear and front facing.
Best Uses
  • From infant to childhood car seat. Rear and front facing.
Cons
  • Would like to see more colors in the replacement covers.

Bulky
December 9, 2016
This car seat is very bulky! It fits in our truck but I can't get it into my Rav4.. Its huge! The straps don't come out very far so even when in the truck, it is very difficult to buckle baby in. Once she's in the seat its not easy to tighten the straps and getting her out is a huge pain.
Pros
  • Its cute and the recline is nice.
Cons
  • Its extremely heavy, bulky, and very difficult to get baby in and out of. The straps should come out farther when unbuckled as that may have helped the ease of transition.

We have a Chicco Keyfit 30and have been very satisfied with ease of use. The nextfit is comfortable, easy to install, and fits well in our Subaru Outback. The tightening strap is difficult to pull tight but we also have the seat rear-facing in the most reclined position. well worth the buy!
Pros
  • Ease of installation, comfortable, easy to strap child in

Easy to Install
December 8, 2016
I love this car seat.The install is so easy. It is easy to adjust the belts, turn forward facing or rear facing. I will never buy another car seat for my littles again. My only problem with this seat is the actual cover. The velcro that straps the cover to the seat broke after only a few months. I feel like if I pay 349$ for a seat the material used to cover the seat should hold up better.

Fantastic customer service for a great seat
December 2, 2016
We have been using nextfit for 3 years in 4 different vehicles. Fits great in all vehicles, easy to install. Comfortable for the kids. When damaged customer service is super responsive getting replacement seats to us in 2 days. I recommend this seat all the time. Only down side is the straps aren't super comfortable around the neck but as several of ours have had different straps there it seems this is something they are working on addressing.

Love this car seat!
November 14, 2016
I have had several different brands of car seats and this was my first chicco. This company has thought of everything! Set up and installation could not have been easier. Really easy to follow directions and indicators on the seat itself. I really like the bubble indicator that ensures your seat is at a safe angle depending on if your child is forward or rear seated. The shoulder and crotch straps were easy to adjust and seem to be better quality (sturdy/thicker) than other brands. I like the location of the strap release button. It is easy to locate and to push; I don't have to go searching for it like other car seats I have. The fabric is high quality and I like the idea of the zip off cover. No accidents yet, but nice to know it's an option if needed! I really enjoy this brand and look forward to purchasing Chicco products for next step car seats.

I read review after review, and finally settled on this seat. I am very pleased with it. I really like the fabric color and seeming durability. It was easy to set up and install. It ha a tight secure to the car. Straps are long to accommodate our growing girl. I'm happy I bought the zip for easy cleaning in the future.

The Chicco NextFit is the perfect seat for my son. We just transitioned from an infant carrier and my this seat is awesome. It was super easy to install. It is literally 2 step to get it installed and I know my son is safe riding in it. It is really cushioned and seems very comfortable as well.

Comfortable Convertible Car seat
November 3, 2016
This is a great convertible car seat: one that we plan to use for some time since our son is 7 months old only and has quite some time left weight and length wise (we hope)! He sleeps easily in it so we are happy. We are used to our old seat and being able to pick it up and snap it right onto the accompanying stroller which was super easy, but other than that, this is a nice, comfy convertible car seat!

Easy installation
October 22, 2016
We recently switched from our infant car seat carrier to the Chico next fit zip. Installing a car seat, especially one you've never installed before is always frustrating and it takes me a few times before I get it right. Not with this one. It was easy to adjust to the angle we needed, latch it into the seat, and tighten it with the straps. I've had to take other car seats to a car seat clinic and they have to add padding to seat of my car to make sure the car seat is inclined at the right angle to support the baby's neck. This seat reclines so far back, the angle was easy to achieve. It also goes to 65 lbs so I won't need to purchase another car seat like I did with my first child- her seat went to 40 lbs.

When Safety Meets Affordable
October 15, 2016
One of the top-rated in safety, and it's relatively affordable compared to other car seats of its same or similar class. My little one has plenty of room in this car seat and looks so comfortable. The padding is top-notch, especially having felt other car seat brands while looking in stores. Easy install and easy manipulation/tightening of the straps and harness, although I have read other reviews stating otherwise. Only negatives (and they're not that big of a deal for us) are that the cup holder doesn't hold all of our daughter's cups, the cover doesn't have a zipper (but you can still remove it for washes), and the car seat is overall pretty heavy (to be expected). Definitely recommend this convertible seat for any one looking or whom can't decide on one.
Pros
  • Easy install
  • Comfortable
  • Safety Top-Rated
  • Roomy
Cons
  • No zipper
  • Heavy
  • Cup holder doesn't hold all cup types

Great features and customer service!
October 6, 2016
I bought my first born a Chicco Nexfit in 2014 when she was 7 months old. She has been rearfacing in it since and she is 3 years old. We absolutely love this seat, it's so easy to install and she says it's super comfy. She has long legs and fits super comfy as if it is a recliner in the rearfacing position. My carseat recently was defective bc the stirofoam head rest was popped off when I took it apart to wash it, my guess is from normal wear and tear and it's 3 years old. We are years passed the 1 year warranty , but Chicco Customer service was willing to make an exception and they are sending out a replacement seat. We are so thankful!! We just recently purchased a 2nd carseat for our 1 year old, and she loves it as well. We have a small 2001 grand prix and both Nexfit carseats fit rearfacing comfortably! Highly reccomend this seat!!

Saffron color deceptive online
September 28, 2016
This is my second Nextfit. I really like this product. It fits the kids well, is very adjustable, and easy to disassemble for cleaning once you've done it once before.Two things I dislike, one is the color. It is a true saffron color, very red, with a bit of sparkle to it. It doesn't really represent well online and if I didn't have to pay return shipping I would have returned it for a different color. Also, these newer models do not appear to include the crotch cushion my older model does. I like having that cushion, particularly for when my daughter is just wearing bloomers and there is potential for chafing.
Cons
  • Color does not represent well over Internet
  • No crotch cushion

Cleaning is a nightmare
September 28, 2016
If your child throws up, the seat is trash. Period. "spot cleaning" is not an option with an all out vomit. I've had this seat 4 months and my son got sick for the first time. I can't believe the bulk of the fabric cannot be removed to be washed. I wish I had purchased a different seat.

Possibly the best car seat on the market!
September 22, 2016
I am a 51 year old mother of 4 grown children with 6 grandchildren and I have seen my share of car seats over the years. This is the third Chicco Nextfit car seat I have bought in the last two years. I will not buy anything else. These car seats are by far the best on the market for the price. They are amazingly easy to install and remove and are the safest most comfortable seat I have seen yet. My youngest grandson is 3 months old and 15 pounds and dreadfully hated being put into his infant car seat but he doesn't even make a peep when I put him in this seat. Comfort makes our ride much more enjoyable. I have and will continue to recommend this car seat to anyone who is in the market.

Awesome Car Seat
September 3, 2016
Recently bought two of these car seats which makes four now in total that we own (easier to have one in both mine and my wife's car). These care seats have a great design with very nice padding and the children fit in them very well. The adjustable slide is the best part as the seat can almost lay down flat or sit straight up, not to mention the head piece and belts move as your child grow. Spend a little extra and get this car seat as you can make use of it for much longer than most. The only thing that some people may dislike is the size, it is a big on the bigger size but it's expected with the design and features of the seat. Just mentioning it to ensure you have the adequate space before purchasing.
Pros
  • Design
  • Adjustable
  • Safety
  • Comfort
Cons
  • None

Color is Okay, seat is AMAZING
September 1, 2016
ONE OF THE BEST!!We own 2 of these seats, one for my son and one for my daughter. He is 18 months, 30 lbs and 36 inches tall- she is more petite. She's 3 1/2 years old, 38 inches tall and 35 lbs. This seat accommodates BOTH of them rear facing, comfortably. The seat is made with excellent materials and my babies don't sweat in them like they do the Graco seats in their grandma's car. They're really easy to install with the LATCH and even easier to clean. I have washed our covers a good 20 times each and they're still holding up exactly the same. I would definitely recommend the CX model over the standard NextFit model so it'll have the pieces that keep the crotch strap and buckles in place and out of the way. It's hard to dig under a toddler/baby for their buckles, but I've noticed the updated models have fixed this problem. The color isn't AS pink as I would've liked, but it's okay.

Loved this seat until I started potty training!
August 30, 2016
I have loved this seat for the last two years. Then we started potty training. My two year old had an accident in the car seat. I took the pads off and washed them and put them back on. Then she decided to pour her milk out all over the seat so I took and seat off and put it back on. Then it started to smell to high heaven. Couldn't find the reason until I took it apart a third time. Everything gets down into the base of this seat and you can't take the base off without ruining the seat. Customer service suggest hosing the chair down with the covers off but what do parents do when you don't have the time to hose it down and sit it out in the sun to dry? What if its a rainy day and you have somewhere to go? For such an expensive chair there must be a better solution. I can't stop our schedule to air dry our car seat anytime something happens. Toddlers make messes and we need seats that are more easily cleaned!

From keyfit to nextfit
August 19, 2016
I just bought the nextfit zip convertible car seat. We LOVE chicco. My 6 month old son started with the keyfit and is 1/2 inch from reaching max capacity on it. We knew the only option for a convertible seat was next fit. I love how easily it installs with the latch. I love how tight to super cinch gets. The only problem I have isnt even with the seat necessarily. I drive a jeep and the back seat is pretty tight. The nextfit is large so it makes the front passenger seat practically unusable since I have to move it all the way forward. This was a sacrifice I was aware of before buying the nextfit and a sacrifice I was more than willing to make. I love the safety standards of chicco and it's the only one we will use.

Overall Poor Experience
August 17, 2016
I bought this car seat for our second vehicle since my daughter is starting preschool. This came highly recommended on consumer reports and we have the infant seat for my son. We have a van and a smaller suv-both family cars. My husband and I tried installing this seat multiple times. We would try to install and move to make sure secure. It would loosen easily. We would bring it inside and gave it a couple more goes before giving up and starting return process. I truly feel there is a design issue. I called customer service and was told to only wiggle at the base and not the top. I have a different brand in our current vehicle and can put force on any portion and it remains tight. I told the representative that normal kid motion would loosen this seat immediately and every time my toddler rode in this seat it would loosen and need to be reinstalled, virtually unsafe every time. I would caution everyone to be sure of this seat as u probably will have to pay for return shipping like I did. Not cheap.

Saved my daughter's life
August 9, 2016
I bought this car seat not quite two years ago in the blue color. Three days ago, while taking our 2 year old to a concert, my family was hit head on. We spun, flipped and rolled 2-3 times. We landed upside down. Thankfully, we are all safe. My daughter had not a scratch on her. Not one. Neither did her car seat. I don't know how. I do know this car seat was the best money I EVER spent. I am beyond grateful to Chicco to making such a wonderful car seat. I have no doubt you saved my daughter's life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Easy to install and use
July 31, 2016
We got this carseat to replace a Britax Marathon that had expired. The seat installs a lot more easily than the Britax did because of the self-tightening latch strap. That thing is revolutionary. I won't want to use another carseat that you have to tighten the old way. Our older daughter uses a Diono Radian, and this is lighter and easier to install. I like that it has such an easy to use recline system, too. I also like that the chest harness has 2 positions; our daughter uses it on the tighter one, so it's nice to have that option. It also looks a bit futuristic; our friends have commented on how cool and high-tech it looks. We haven't been in any accidents, but the safety ratings were impressive to me.
Pros
  • Really easy to install
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • When I carry it between cars, sometimes I accidentally push the recline lever and have to check to ensure I haven't changed the angle - recline lever is right in the middle of the bottom of the seat.
