We purchased this for our 14 month old that outgrew her Chicco infant seat. We have the Air jogger stroller and love how it keeps her cool. She's a sweaty kid, that's what drew me to the car seat. I LOVE the zip off cover features! How many times have your kids, vomited, exploded #2 or spilled every snack you've ever had to give all over the seat?
The safety features are great. The fact that it has several recline positions is a bonus. Regular rear facing convertible seats did not fit well in our car.

Easy to install, easy to use, and it's so comfortable for my little one! We owned the Chicco Trio System so much we wanted to graduate with the same brand.

I had a cheaper Graco model and found it impossiblr to level and install tight enough. This car seat was easy to install and gives me peace of mind that my little one will be safe and sound in the car. I love how plush it is and seems comfortable for my son. I would definitely recommend this over any other brand!

Full disclosure: We received this seat in exchange for this review. This seat was provided for free with the only requirement being I write this review. I could give 1 star with zero repercussions... But, I give it 5 stars. I have only had it for about two weeks, but the initial fit and finish is very nice!As my family is growing, I found myself frequently moving our only "convertible" seat between our two cars. This became cumbersome. Especially now that we have two children. So, we needed a 2nd seat. We ended up with this seat and could not be happier.The first things I noticed about this seat compared to our existing seat was that the padding was much thicker and heavier. The compartment area where a child sits is a much more snug fit. The overall seat is noticeably heavier, seems better built, and sturdier. It really made me feel that if I were to be in an accident with my child, they would be better protected in this seat over our other seat.I hate reading the manual. So, it did take me about 2 minutes to figure out all the different adjustments needed to properly fit this seat in my car. But, once I figured it out, it was super easy to fasten into my pickup truck. (I did then go back to the manual to make sure I didn't miss anything...)The only drawback I have found is that the cup holder seems as though it was an after thought. Our existing seat has two cup holders, one on either side, build into the seat. This one has just a single cup holder that kind of just attaches to the side. But, it does seem that design decision may have been intentional and a casualty of the previously mentioned heavier build. I would take the better built seat over extra cup holders any day...-Jeremy

We got this car seat about a week ago and have been so happy with it! Our little one seems very happy in it - there are never any complaints. Changing car seats can be an ordeal, so we love that this convertible one can be used for so long. It was pretty easy to install.

This convertible carseat is quick and easy to install, which makes transferring from one car to another easy to do. The latch feature or the lock off for the seatbelt makes the carseat secure and safe when installed properly. It is very padded and seems extremely comfortable for a child to sit in while not being overheating. The zip feature is very helpful with a messy toddler who has snacks in his carseat because it can be easily unzipped and washed. With its safety, comfort and easy to use convenient features I would highly recommended this car seat to anyone looking for an all around great seat for an infant or toddler. Chicco has provided me with this car seat to share my honest opinion on the product.

We got this seat a few weeks ago and it was very simple to install. The seat is very secure with very minimal movement. Plenty of room to get child in and out as opposed to our other seat which is a bit challenging.

I'm very happy with this convertible car seat. Easy to install and adjust. My child fits perfectly in it and has room to grow! Also the zip feature makes it easy to clean, which is important with messy kids! I have no complaints

We recently got the NextFit iX Zip Air, and so far we've been totally pleased! It's so sturdy, and not as heavy as a lot of the car seats out there. The fabric looks great and seems very durable. It was easy to install. Our son is actually happy to go into this car seat!

This is a great convertible carseat in so many ways. The latch feature and tightening strap makes this seat and the belt extremely tight in the vehicle and secure on the child. The seat is very padded and made with comfortable fabric to surround the child. The fabric also zips off which makes cleaning up after a messy toddler very easy. Another plus is the surf green color which our son totally loves. We have already recommended this seat to friends looking to buy a convertible carseat. Chicco provided me with this product in exchange for my honest opinion.

This carseat has literally changed our car rides for my 3 year old. Before we had the Atmos, my son rarely slept in his carseat as he was not able to recline and his head would uncomfortably hang forward. Now, he often is able to nap while we run errands or pick up older siblings from school. He is so much happier and comfortable. I love when products convert to the growth of a child. This carseat is no exception. It seamlessly reclines or adjusts to different heights and ages. It is also surprisingly lighter in weight than I expected and is incredibly easy to install in our van that does not have anchors without breaking your arm trying to thread the seatbelt through the back area. I would highly recommend this product.

As part customer review participation program, I received the NextFit convertible car seat. I feel very fortunate to have been selected for this program because this car seat is at the top of it's class! It is a very sturdy seat which makes me feel extremely safe putting my 1 month old daughter in. This is my 4th child and this is by far the best mix of comfort and safety that I have experienced in a car seat! Thank you for the opportunity to try this car seat and for the peace of mind that goes along with my child riding in your car seat! I highly recommend to for everyone to invest in their child's safety and comfort with the NextFit convertible car seat from Chicco!!!

We used the Keyfit 30 until we need to upgrade. The Keyfit worked great but often left my child sweating (even on very short trips). When we upgraded, we specifically looked for the Zip Air for the additional breath-ability. First, the product is only available at Toys R Us. The hand off and the purchase experience was horrible. Second, the Zip Air lacks durability. We've had the seat for less than a year a materials are falling apart. I'm certain a new cover is in the near future. Finally, the Air doesn't provide much air so it's not worth the additional money.

I appreciate how easy this car seat is to install. With car seats in the past, i had a hard time being sure I got it installed tight enough. The seat itself has great padding, and I love the "air" aspect of it to keep my little one cooler!

We recently switched from the Graco convertible carseat too this one and our toddler loves going in this seat so much better. He is 2 and forward facing and just seems so much more comfortable with all of the extra soft padding. It's also nice because he was always so sweaty when we got him out of his other seat and even when it's been warmer we haven't had that at all with this one. We haven't had to wash the cover yet, but the zip feature will make the frequent washing SO much easier! This seat much rides comfortable and safe for our child and we love it!

I am thrilled with this product! We have been using it for about a month or two, and I have absolutely no complaints. The zipper makes washing SOO much easier, and I love that it is a comfortable rear facing seat for my 1 year old. He is always so comfortable & relaxed in the car now. It is also very easy to take in and out of the car if need be! We are in love with this seat & have already recommended it to our friends and family.

We recently switched over from a Graco convertible seat to this Chico seat for our two year old and love it. It was easy installation and we were able to fit it with two other car seats in the same row. Our favorite thing about this seat is it is so easy to clean! Plus love that we can unzip the cover and throw in the wash what a plus! Nothing but positive things to say regarding this seat, even our two year old loves it!!!
