Chicco KeyFit
FAA approvedFMVSS 213
Verdict
The KeyFit base uses bubble levels on both sides and a spring-loaded foot, so the recline is right or visibly wrong. The carrier clicks into Chicco strollers without adapters.
The 22 lb limit is the lowest of the infant seats here. Babies outgrow it earlier than the Pipa RX, whose limit is 30 lb. Families expecting a big baby should price the difference against a second seat bought sooner.
What we liked
- Bubble levels on both sides of the base
- Spring-loaded levelling foot
- $230 list price
What we didn't like
- 30 in height limit, outgrown early
- 9.6 lb carrier
- Canopy is short
