 contact dermatitis June 11, 2008
The seat is easy to use, looks great and it has a great safety rating. However, after a couple of months in it, my infant broke out into raw, red, oozing painful sores wherever his skin touched the carseat. Apparently, contact dermatitis to the flame-resistant chemicals they use in some carseats is a growing problem.
As soon as I put a cover in the carseat, my baby's horrible rash cleared up immediately.
When I contacted the company to let them know, they got back to me (a week later) and offered me a new set of soft goods -- the exact same thing that hurt my baby the first time. Not impressed.
 Nice..... EXCEPT for the toxic smell! June 2, 2008

I bought the Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat for my daughter who was born last August. Out of all the seats at Babies R Us, this seat got my attention b/c it's such a great looking seat and it had more padding than any of the other ones. It was super easy to install using latch and my daughter fit into it well. At first, it seemed worth the hefty price.... Then, after only a few weeks, I started noticing a chemical smell in my car. I finally discovered it was this carseat and replaced it with a spare seat I had on hand. I immediately called the company to inquire about the toxic smell. The customer service rep. agreed to send another seat out to me and said that sometimes the fire retardants used in manufacturing can cause the smell. I decided I didn't want another Chicco seat and was able to return it to BRU for a refund. The covering on the Chicco Keyfit is more "plasticky" and not cotton fabric like the Snugride I used with my son 3 years ago. I know some people prefer that type of fabric for easy clean up etc... but in my opinion, cotton is much safer. I'm not sure what the deal was with my particular seat, maybe the heat in the car caused the off-gassing of the chemicals.. Toxic fumes, whether from the fire retardants or the plastic materials can be very toxic and hazardous for infants especially. You all should research what's in conventional crib mattresses too and you'd be surprised. Everything else about this carseat was great...but not worth the risk b/c of the chemical smell.
Close To Perfect May 31, 2008
I love this car seat. My baby likes to sleep in it, it's so easy to take in and out of the base, and it lasts much longer than it's smaller -to 22 lb- counterparts. It's suitable from birth because it comes with its own newborn insert. It also ranks high in safety ratings, which explains why its a little heavier than most. If I had to improve it, I would give it a bigger sunshade and make the synthetic fabric more breathable, as my baby gets a bit hot and sweaty when he sits in it. All things considered, I would recommend it to a friend.
the dream seat May 27, 2008
We've gone through a Graco and a lesser model of Chicco, but this seat wins all around. Works great in the car; and the baby loves to sleep in it when it's parked in the house.
Wish there were attachments to attach the seat to other brands of stroller.
 Car seat review May 11, 2008
Our daughter and son-in-law are absolutely thrilled with their new car seat. The colors were exactly what they were looking for.
