Standard features of Chicco NexFit car seats

Reclining options

Secure fit

To ensure a secure and tight fit, effortlessly and seamlessly, Chicco NextFit seats come with an exclusive Super Cinch LATCH Tightener. The force-multiplying technology used makes latching the seat into the car easy and simple.

Easy mode conversion

It’s extremely easy to reposition the LATCH strap and convert the seat mode from forward facing to rear facing, and vice versa, thanks to the integrated slide path of these seats.

Adjustable headrest

Advantages of Chicco NexFit car seats

In addition to the standard features, the various models of Chicco NexFit car seats come with their own distinctive advantages.

The ​Chicco NextFit Convertible Car Seat, Matrix​ is the cheapest model in our Chicco NextFit Reviews. The seat incorporates built-in lock-offs for vehicle belt installation and an integrated latch for storage compartments.

It also has a thermal-insulated cup holder with a storage pocket. In the rear facing mode, it provides extra padding for smaller babies, starting at 5 pounds. It’s easy to install and quite simple to remove.

The NextFit CX Convertible Car Seat is super easy to install, and switch between modes, in virtually any type of car. This one feature alone makes it great value for its price.

When it comes to the ​Chicco NextFit CX Convertible Car Seat, Skylight​, which also features the ComfortFlex Harness Management System, you’ll be amazed at the softness of the fabric and material used in the manufacture of this car seat.

Chicco NextFit Reviews - Disadvantages

Despite the wide range of exceptional features and unique advantages, our Chicco NextFit Reviews have identified some potential disadvantages that were raised by users of the infant car seat. One needs to bear in mind that these disadvantages were raised in only a handful of reviews.

These are one of the highest rated convertible car seats you can find and the vast majority of Chicco NextFit Reviews provide the highest score. You may like to keep the following points in mind before choosing to buy one.

Excessive weight

All the infant car seats from Chicco NextFit are quite large and heavy (see above specifications), and take up a lot of space in the car.

Harness problems

While the harness is a great security feature, tightening it has proved quite a task for some, particularly at first. It can take a lot of effort to tighten it to the position you need to keep your child secure and fit. This is reported to loosen up considerably with over a few weeks of use.

Headrest issues

Like the harness, even the headrest takes quite a lot of force to adjust, making it a difficult affair.

Belt is easy to unbuckle

The belt is so easy to unbuckle that your little one can easily do it, making it somewhat unsafe.

Seat fabric can be overly warm

With all that padding and cushioning it comes with, a minority of users have complained that the seat itself tends to get extremely warm, making a sweaty child; the fabric used in the construction adds to this problem. The seat is also very deep and lacking in air circulation, which can get quite uncomfortable for your little one if it remains inside for long.

Conclusion

By and large, notwithstanding the few negatives, customers seem to be happy with the Chicco NextFit infant car seats. Not only are they sturdily built, all these seats have some superior technological features that make them perfectly safe for your child.

The range of adjustments provided makes it convenient for use for a growing baby, and you definitely won’t need to spend money every few months on a new seat just because your little one has outgrown the old one.
