Car Seat Safety: Why We Trust the Chicco KeyFit 35
Car Seat Safety: Why We Trust the Chicco KeyFit 35
When you leave the hospital with your newborn, the only thing that matters is their safety. The car seat market is flooded with options, but one name consistently earns the top spot in crash tests and ease-of-use ratings: Chicco.
The KeyFit 35 ClearTex is their latest upgrade to the legendary KeyFit 30 system.

Chicco KeyFit 35 ClearTex Infant Car Seat
EASY-TO-INSTALL INFANT CAR SEAT – Simple, accurate and secure installation with two bubble level-indicators and spring-loaded leveling foot for proper base angle in vehicle seat and premium LATCH connector for easy attachment.
Foolproof Installation
Statistically, most car seats are installed incorrectly. Chicco solves this with their SuperCinch® force-multiplying tightener and RideRight® bubble level indicators. You get a rock-solid install with minimal effort, every single time.
Extended Rear-Facing
The "35" in the name stands for the weight limit—35 lbs. This allows you to keep your baby in the safer rear-facing position for longer, often up to age 2, without needing to upgrade to a convertible seat immediately.
Chemical-Free Comfort
The "ClearTex" fabric meets federal flammability standards without adding any chemical fire retardants. It's peace of mind for parents worried about what's touching their baby's skin.
Final Thoughts
It's not the lightest seat on the market, but it is arguably the easiest to live with. For something you use every single day, that ease of use is priceless.
