Our Review of the Chicco Cortina Key Fit 30 Travel System
BENEFITS FOR MOM AND DAD
By combining a top rated car seat with an excellent travel stroller, the Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System provides everything a new parent needs to stay mobile. Once your child hits 30 lbs and outgrows the KeyFit 30, the padded harness seat of the Cortina stroller provides a comfortable and secure seat until he or she reaches 50 lbs.
Installation
The Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat installs rear facing only, with either LATCH or your vehicle's seat belts. The base of the KeyFit 30 features a unique1-pull LATCH tightening system that simplifies the entire installation process and ensures a tight fit with every installation. The base of the KeyFit is equipped with a level indicator that clearly displays the proper angle of your car seat. If the angle is a little off, simply adjust the KeyFit 30's foot prop to get the optimum angle.
The carrier of the KeyFit 30 can be installed without the seat base by using your vehicle safety belts.
Convenience
KeyFit 30: Like most infant car seats, the KeyFit 30 features a light, detachable carrier and a weighted base. Extra KeyFit 30 bases are available if you have multiple vehicles, and they really are a huge time saver. The one-hand LATCH tightening system of the KeyFit 30 is a real plus because it speeds up installation time and gives you a great fit for the base. In addition, the KeyFit 30 is wrapped in removable, washable fabrics that are simple to clean and care for.
Cortina Stroller: The aluminum frames Cortina stroller offers a fully reclining seat with a 'memory' feature that allows you to fold up the stroller without changing the recline setting. It comes with a large underside storage basket for bringing along what you need – and maybe a new thing or two.
BENEFITS FOR JACK OR JILL
Car seats and strollers designed by Chicco (pronounced "Key-Co") really do the utmost to maximize your child's comfort. The new KeyFit 30 features the same deluxe fabrics as the original KeyFit, thick padding and all. The infant insert included with the KeyFit 30 fills in the gaps for newborns and infants, providing them with extra comfort while leaving the seat room to grow. Also, because the KeyFit 30 is rear facing to 30 lbs, you can keep your young one in the safest position possible (rear facing) well past the limits of the average infant car seat.
Comfort
The well-padded seat of the KeyFit 30 is wrapped in soft and comfortable fabrics, and equipped with shoulder pads and a 5-point harness that adjusts easily to get the perfect fit. The harness adjusts with just a single pull. The Cortina stroller is also well padded and features a 5-point harness to secure your child in place.
Safety
-
The Chicco KeyFit 30 is fully FMVSS 213 certified
Thanks to the extended harness weight capacity, the KeyFit 30 is certainly one of the safer infant seats on the market. The seat is lined with impact absorbing EPS foam, and tested amongst the very best in a recent Consumer Reports study. The KeyFit 30 is truly is one of the best, safest car seats available today, in part because the one-pull LATCH adjustment makes it easy to install correctly each and every time. Chicco spared no expense in designing a top-quality, user friendly infant car seat.
COMPARISON
The closest competitor to the Chicco KeyFit 30 would be the Graco Safe Seat Step 1, another stroller compatible infant car seat that works rear facing until a child is 30 lbs. Both seats have comparable weights, features, and price – but the Chicco KeyFit 30 offers a larger sun canopy and comes in a more stylish selection of colors.
