Chicco Keyfit 30 Infant Car Seat and Base

Kimberly B.

weeThink

This is the most popular infant car seat around. It’s very easy to install and clicks securely into the base with no fuss. Consumer Reports also rated it the best for crash protection, which is, bottom line, what we are all looking for in a car seat. It fits easily in a variety of cars and with the Keyfit Caddy stroller, it makes an excellent and very easy travel system--great for spontaneous walks around town without disturbing a sleeping baby.

The Catch: Might not be the best for city parents who rely on taxis and public transportation as it can be difficult to get a secure fit without the base.

Everyone
  • Q: Am expecting and don’t even know which car seat is good and affordable and also easy to move

    asked by Eno A. - Oct 09, 2018

  • All carseats have the same safety requirements. The best answer is to choose the carseat that is easiest for you to install correctly. This will depend on your car. This carseat in particular is a great seat, but also can be very heavy. If you want to remove it a lot, it might become cumbersome.
