Chicco Nextfit
March 18, 2017
Love it! We had the Keyfit infant car seat and finally was able to transition into a bigger seat for our daughter. I had looked at all the reviews for convertible car seats and the Nextfit beat all the other car seat brands that are currently on the market. Couldn't ask for a better car seat for our daughter! Will definitely continue to purchase Chicco products in the future!
Cons
  • Too heavy

Fantastic construction, easy to use, stylish, however in my wife's Cube which is actually quite roomy inside we could just about get the seat in facing back.

A big fan
February 26, 2017
Really well thought out product. I really like how it comes with a cushion protector about the bottom harness release. Great for the hotter climate I live in. The lavender is a little brighter in person, not as muted as in the picture but I really like it.
Pros
  • Going to be very easy to wash, protect heat barrier on plastic harness pieces, great color options, easy to install
Best Uses
  • Rear facing car seat, front facing car seat
Cons
  • None

Exactly as expected
February 12, 2017
We love this car seat! Went back and forth on this or the Britax Advocate but this one cocooned LO more and had many features which I felt actually overrode the Advocate. In addition to safety, it leaves more room for front seat positioning in our Outback than the Keyfit30, the seat cover material is nicer, the shape is more uniform, and the harnesses fit better. Albee is the only place to find the color I wanted (Castlerock) and it is truly a beautifully designed seat. Pleased with everything although shipping could've been faster, took over a week, but I wasn't in a hurry.

easy to use
February 1, 2017
We picked this car seat because it was the same brand as our infant seat and we wanted something we would be very comfortable using. It fits in our pickup behind the passenger seat with no problems. I like the recline options it has- I really think it could fit in any vehicle big or small. The only dislike is it is kind of heavy. It is fairly easy to adjust and I love the zip off cover option for when my daughter gets into cheerios :) we were going to buy a nice one (this one) and a cheaper one for a backup seat and for when other people pick up our daughter, but ended up buying two of this one because we liked it so much.
Pros
  • easy to adjust, good for small spaces, highly adjustable, user friendly
Cons
  • heavy

Chicco NextFit Zip
January 25, 2017
This is a great car seat. It is very easy to install and my 10 month old loves it. Very comfy and easy to get her in and out. I had recently purchased the regular NextFit but returned for the zip. I love the padding around the crotch buckle and bottom side straps, it props them up so I don't have to dig them out from under her and I love that I can just unzip to clean.
Pros
  • Easy to install, easy cleaning, padding around straps and buckles, several recline positions so it's easy to get perfectly level, easy adjustable harness strap, nice fabric.

I've looked at many car seats and for the price range, this car seat delivers with high quality and versatility. I like the sturdy- non-pilling material and that it can be unzipped and washed is a plus for spills or blowouts. It's a great investment.

Best car seat, ever!
December 21, 2016
My 1YO loves his Nextfit and so do I. It fits perfectly in my G6. I love how easy it is to install - latch & seat belt! Also, the padding is incredibly comforting for my little one, and he sleeps so good in the car.. Everything about the seat is pretty awesome, although, the cup holder is kind of useless... BUT, it's not too much of a problem for me. I also really love how so many recline positions are offered.
Pros
  • Easy installation
  • Very comfortable
  • Fits good in a smaller car
  • Easy to get baby in and out of the seat

Great car seat so far!
December 17, 2016
We've only used it about a week. But the first time we did my son fell asleep in it after about 30 minutes. He's 6 months old and in the 90th percentile for weight so we graduated from our infant seat very quick! This was a great replacement. The only down side I would say is when it's rear facing it seems harder to get him in on the same side. Maybe if I put him in from the other direction and wasn't so close to the door it would be better. I think this also depends on the car you have and how the door is shaped.
Pros
  • Comfortable
  • Compact
  • Built well
  • Easy install

This is my second chicco nextfit zip convertible car seat. Coming from a keyfit 30 I am already familiar with the chicco line of car seats. In my opinion it's one of the best convertible car seat in the market, in fact it is the highest rated convertible car seat according to consumer reports. When it comes to pricing it is in the middle of the pack of car seats. Really a good value when it comes to what it can offer for safety, ease of installation, comfort and more.
Pros
  • Super easy installation
  • Great angle adjustment for perfect fit
  • Great value for what it offers
Cons
  • None

Great comfortable carseat
December 13, 2016
This carseat is great. I was so excited to get it. Our baby doesn't even fussy when we put him in it unlike his infant carseat. I think our road trips will be a lot more enjoyable now and maybe he'll sleep for longer in the car. Easy to install, put baby in, and take out.

Excellent Convertible Seat!
December 12, 2016
We used the Chicco Keyfit 30 for our son and recently purchased the Nextfit Zip because we loved the Keyfit so much. It is very adjustable and my son fits very comfortably. He's 9 months old, 20 lbs. We also purchased a Britax Marathon for the babysitter's car and although it is a safe and easy to install seat, we much prefer the Nextfit Zip. It fits him better and is much more adjustable. The Nextfit Zip will be worth the extra money in the long run since our son will be using it for years to come.
Pros
  • Very adjustable
  • Comfortable
  • LATCH is easy to install
  • High weight limit
  • Cover zips off for easy cleaning
Cons
  • Expensive- we got it on sale but it was still over $200.
  • Seatbelt installation is hard to get tight enough.
  • Latches MUST be standard spacing (11 in) to use safely. No middle seat installation borrowing latches from either side.
  • Heavy- this is NOT a good seat to travel with!

High quality, safe car seat
December 12, 2016
This Chicco car seat is made with very high quality materials, there is a huge difference between this car seat and our previous car seat which was the leading affordable brand. Very easy and straightforward install and fits securely. The pull strap for tightening the belts is a little difficult to get used to and the 'baby ready' feature is not as amazing as I hoped, but better than what we were dealing with previously. Very easy to loosen the harness to get baby out, my husband always had trouble with this before!

Great car seat
December 11, 2016
We really like that this car seat is easy to install and looks very protective. It takes up a lot of room and is heavy so it's best to buy another one for a second car and to not plan on moving it around.
Pros
  • Looks comfy, fabric unzips to wash (although it appears difficult to actually remove and reinstall it), is easy to install (very similar installation to the Keyfit, if you've used that one), and appears pretty safe. Solidly constructed.
Best Uses
  • Keeping kids safe while riding in the car. That's about it.
Cons
  • Hard to get your kid in and out without conking them on the interior ceiling of your car, hard to tighten the harness as tight as you may like, and very confusing directions if you want to keep your kid rear-facing between 35-40 lbs and also during a weight window when front-facing (read the instructions for details). Expensive and very large. If installed on middle seat, makes it impossible to fold down either seat (if your car supports this).

We LOVE this seat! We had the Chicco infant seat, so decided to upgrade to the nextfit for our daughters first birthday. My daughter and I were in an accident, and while I was pretty hurt, she was safe! We had to replace her car seat, and replaced her other nextfit with this lavender one! I love the light purple color! The cushioning seems so comfortable. Super easy to install! The zip feature is amazing for zipping off and washing cover!
Pros
  • -comfortable
  • -super easy to install
  • -cover zips off easily
  • -headrest/harness is easily adjusted!
  • -9 recline positions!
Cons
  • -a bit heavy, but that's to be expected with a steel frame in there!

I love the Chicco nextfit zip convertible car seat! Very easy to install rear facing and my 1 year old seems to be very happy and comfortable. I noticed a few added features from the previous next fit that my son has that I am pleased with. They added additional padding around the belt thigh area and also between the legs where the belt attaches so there is no rubbing. I have not had the joy of cleaning out her seat (yet) but when I do I'll be happy to have the zip feature to make life one step easier.

Durable Car Seat
October 26, 2016
I've been using this car seat for a couple weeks, and I really love it so far. From what I can see, the only downside is the lack of built-in cupholders. However, the seat seems very solid and durable, which is much more important than cupholders. I also like the color. My son seems to like it and sleeps well in it on longer car rides.

I recommend vs. britax boulevard
September 14, 2016
I had the boulevard (not the click tight) but felt the material was cheap and started showing wear very quickly. The latch system on the boulevard was difficult to properly tighten (and loosen!). So far, I LOVE this Chico! Much better latching system and the material seems very durable. I definitely would recommend this to friends/family.
Pros
  • Latch
  • Heavy duty material
  • Zipper cover

Pricey but Bells and Whistles Make Life Easier
September 10, 2016
Both of my children have one of these seats in different colors. Straps very easy to adjust. Main cover easy to remove. Just wish headrest cover was simpler to remove and reinstall. Love that the crotch strap/buckle has a cover. Much more comfortable for baby when wearing shorts or a skirt/dress. The main reason I bought this seat was the many different recline positions. This meant the seat would fit rear facing in my car without pushing the front seat so far forward that no one can ride in it. Very nice seat but I would have gone with something less expensive had I found something that fit. Given the upper weight limit of 65 pounds we should get quite a bit of use out of it. All the bells and whistles really are not needed but I must admit I like them!

Great car seat! Love the zip feature and this color over the options available in stores. The car seat is bulky, but I'll take incredible safety ratings and a zip off cover everyday. We only use Chico models for seats. I had to order this online and couldn't be happier that I did. First time Albee baby buyer and I'll definitely order again!

Buy the ZIP!!
August 16, 2016
We loved our Chicco Nextfit so much that I wanted another one for our 2nd baby. The Nextfit isn't too terrible to remove the lining for washing but the ZIP feature is SO WORTH the extra cost. Installation is a breeze and we have a few vehicles so we rotate car seats often and both I and my husband prefer to move the Nextfit over the Diono car seat we own. My son is 2 and he sleeps so comfortably in the Nextfit because of the recline function. In the Diono, he sits upright and if he falls asleep, his head falls forward and occludes his airway. I recommend everyone to buy the Nextfit Zip!!
Pros
  • Unzip to remove liner to wash easily - genius!
Best Uses
  • Fits great in compact vehicles.
Cons
  • Wish it was more affordable.

I contacted a car seat program to determine which car seats were recommended to decrease brain and spinal cord injuries and this was one of them that was recommended. It's pretty easy to use with great instructions for use and installation. We did have some issues with our first order because it ended up that the car seat we ordered was out of stock. Albee did a wonderful job at offering different options and rectifying the situation.

I bought this when my son turned one. He loves it so much. It's high up so he can see outside. It can recline so he can be lay back when he feel asleep during our trip. The material is thick enough to be very comfy. I would pick lighter color so it don't get to hot during summer days in CA. Other than that we loves it.

My fourth granddaughter was born into a family that's always on the move. From event to event, this car seat allows her to ride in comfort. While it is rather large as it will be used until she is 65 lbs., we adjust it based on her needs. She sleeps, eats, and plays in comfort. The ability to easily clean the seat also is a major plus. My sister purchased three for her toddler. No complaints for this seat.
