Chicco Keyfit Car Seat Base

Please ignore the reviewer who rated the seat one star due to the rebound issue. I am a certified child passenger safety technician and this is NOT a safety concern. Almost all rear facing seats will rebound in a crash. The only ones that won't are infant seats with rigid LATCH (the only one currently available in the US is the Baby Trend Latch-Loc with rigid LATCH) or one with an anti-rebound bar like the Britax Companion and convertible seats that tether rear facing (all Britax convertible seats, Sunshine Kids Radian, etc). As long as your seat moves less than an inch in any direction AT THE BELT PATH (i.e. on an infant seat with a base, right at the seat crack where the other poster said it was tight) it is safe. The Chicco KeyFit is a very good seat. It is without a doubt one of the best on the market currently. It installs like a dream and fits small babies very well. As a tech of seven years, I would not hesitate to recommend this seat or use it for my own child.

While the base alone is a little pricey, it has been worth the added investment in the time and effort saved. This combo is very well designed and thought through. I never thought it would be so easy to snap the seat in and out of the car. I highly recommend this system to anyone.

The Chicco Travel System, including the infant car seat and base, is a great product. My daughter was born only 5lbs 14oz, and she was very snug in the car seat from day one. She is now three months old and this car seat is a great fit for her. Her head does not shift around at all. The base fits perfectly in my car's latch system, and the car seat snaps securely into the base. I am very happy with this produce and would recommend it to anybody with a newborn.
