MWe actually have 2 of these, one for our almost 3 year old and one for out 3 month old. This seat is so soft and comfortable for the kids. It's super simple to install correctly. We move it between cars all the time. It takes about 3 minutes to install and no effort is required thanks to the tightening mechanism on the LATCH tethers. The Zip feature of the liner also makes it super easy to clean. We haven't had to clean our daughter's yet, but we wash our son's with regularity. It comes out looking like new every time. The Zip model is worth the extra cost, 100%. Love this car seat.

So far I love this seat. It is a bit big and really heavy, but most carseats are big and heavy. It feels "beefy" as my husband would say.. like it would do a good job of protecting my little one. I personally like the color, but I picked it because it was the cheaper version at the time. It is rated well in Consumer Reports. It wasn't too hard to install.. about like any other carseat. I like the latch system and the extra hook for over the back of the seat. I am also excited about the zip off feature.. I believe this will be a blessing.

The manual for installation is very confusing and I would recommend watching a quick video from the manufacturer's website. It is larger than I thought but still fits in my car (crossover SUV) but could be a problem for some vehicles. So I would suggest take a look at a local store before you purchase it online. The package is oversized and heavy so it would be quite a pain to have to return these. Otherwise very high build quality and seems to be very comfy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good seat, not sure there is a perfect option out there
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2016

I must have gone back and forth on car seats for months before deciding on the Next Fit Zip for my 10 month old daughter. Was looking at the Britax Clicktights and Peg Perego and ultimately decided on the NextFit because I didn't have a good spot for rear-facing tether for the Peg and the Clicktights seemed difficult to clean and the release button cover is really difficult to get to when rear facing in my car. Looked at several other options as well but the size or design didn't work for me.

What I love about the seat:
1. Install is super easy with latch in particular. When selecting a seat I thought this would be less of a factor if I had it professionally installed since I wasn't planning to move the seat. However in 3 weeks of ownership I have already had to reinstall it twice (see dislikes) and very thankful for the simple and effective install.
2. The lavender color is beautiful, much more impressive than even the pictures display
3. This is a very solid seat, feel like my daughter is very safe, and construction of it doesn't require a rear-facing tether.
4. Love the number of recline options and the level bubbles on both sides, no eyeballing compared to the ground, etc. like with other seats to ensure level install.
5. My daughter is very comfortable in the seat, much more so than her KeyFit 30.
6. The front to back space when installed rear facing is very good and I can position the front seats where is comfortable. Her KeyFit 30 required the front seats to be a bit closer to the dashboard that I really liked.

What I dislike about the seat:
1. The zip feature seems great BUT it really has to be almost hand-washed, can't be dried. I don't always have a full day for the thing to dry completely. Other than purchasing another insert or using another seat in between cleanings this isn't ideal.
2. The zip feature required me to completely UNINSTALL the seat to get the cover off when installed rear facing. Thank goodness it is super easy to install correctly.
3. Fabric gets very hot, my daughter rarely sweats but in mildly warm weather she is is soaked when I get her out of the seat after even a 20 minute car ride. I have separate rear controls for the AC in my car and have cranked it way down just for the back which has fixed the problem, however this would be an issue if I had other passengers in the back as they would freeze. Hoping the summer here in Southern California doesn't prove too much for my AC solution.
4. As others have complained about, the tightening mechanism is rough especially at first. It has loosened up considerably in the 3 weeks I have been using the seat or I would have sent it back.
5. The high sides are difficult to get used to putting her in the seat, getting her out is no issue. The seat is installed in the center so a little more difficult for ease of loading her than if it were installed on one of the sides.

All in all this is a good seat, not sure I wouldn't be questioning my decision regardless of which seat I picked. It fits well in my 2015 MDX which is equipped with center latch. However the width of the NextFit and the fact that the MDX has an offset center latch means that the seat behind the driver is incredibly slim as this seat hangs way over, the other passenger seat is extra roomy so at least one adult can ride comfortably in the back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible seat and customer service experience
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2018

I really wanted to love this seat after using the KeyFit for 2+ years but I absolutely hated it right out of the box. The ONLY thing I like is the zip feature, it does make cleaning the seat much easier.
My main issue with the seat is that I cannot adequately tighten the straps with my daughter in the seat. (She is rear facing.) I literally have to climb into my SUV, stand behind the seat and pull with all my strength to even get it close to where it needs to be. And I still am left worrying about my daughter’s safety. I’ve watched dozens of YouTube videos and tried every single tip and trick, nothing helped. I called Chicco customer service and they all but accused me of lying and demanded numerous pictures and videos before they’d help me. I have heard of similar experiences from other local moms about this seat. Another minor issue is the super cinch latch straps would get stuck, making it extremely difficult to remove the seat when needed.
Ultimately I’ve purchased a different seat and am out $350 on a seat I couldn’t trust was safely adjusted for my child. I would NOT recommend this seat.
