What owners single out
In their words
“I’ve been using this car seat for our 2 year old since he was about 7 months and outgrew the KeyFit system. I love this car seat. Unfortunately it is bulky for rear facing - it didn’t fit comfortably (for a front seat passenger) in my husband’s Mazda6 but it is just fine in my Honda Accord and our RAV4, so a large sedan or SUV is preferable, most likely.”

“Chicco is known for its car seat quality but this one I think they missed quite few items. First, crotch belt. Problem: only 2 spots, according to the manual of forward facing it needs to be at the first one. It’s a long belt which of you have a skinny coward facing child it doesn’t fit properly. The crotch goes on to their bellies. Second annoying problem: really thin padding at stage 3.”
