Description


The NextFit iX fits your vehicle and your child with proven SuperCinch LATCH functionality and a new LockSure™ vehicle belt-tightening system, plus easy-to-use adjustability designed to comfortably accommodate growing children from 5 to 65 pounds. NextFit iX Zip Air also features a zip-off seat pad for machine washing and a breathable 3D AirMesh backrest.

Easiest to Install Correctly

NextFit iX features a 9-position ReclineSure leveling system and dual RideRight bubble level-indicators to help achieve and verify proper angle in the vehicle seat. For installation with LATCH, premium connectors and a SuperCinch tightener help achieve a secure fit with a fraction of the effort. (When it’s time to switch from rear-facing to forward-facing, the LATCH strap passes easily through the built-in slide path for proper repositioning.) For installation with the vehicle seat belt, a LockSure™ belt-tightening system makes it easy to position, tighten and lock the belt into place.

From Newborn through Preschool

NextFit iX is engineered to last with built-in “fit-ability” for every stage, including a removable infant insert and smooth one-hand headrest adjustment with nine positions. As the headrest is raised, the shoulder strap position also raises and widens to accommodate growing children without re-threading. The harness also features an easy-pull, force-multiplying tightener and removable, machine-washable shoulder pads. For easier in/out, NextFit iX Zip is equipped with a padded ComfortFlex harness management system that holds both sides of the waist belt out of the way until the child is ready to be buckled.

NextFit iX has a steel-reinforced frame and is lined with EPS energy-absorbing foam for superior side-impact protection.

  • ReclineSure 9-position leveling system for an accurate fit in a wider range of vehicles
  • Dual RideRight bubble level-indicators verify seat angle in both rear-facing and forward-facing modes
  • Premium connectors and a SuperCinch tightener help achieve a secure installation with LATCH
  • New! LockSure™ belt-tightening system helps achieve a secure installation with vehicle seat belt
  • New! 9-position easy-adjust headrest and no-rethread harness accommodate growing children
  • New! Easy-pull, force-multiplying harness tightener for a snug and secure child fit with less effort
  • Zip & Wash seat pad easily zips out from shell for machine washing
  • Breathable 3D AirMesh backrest with airflow channels for improved ventilation
  • Padded ComfortFlex harness system keeps both sides of waist belt out of the way for easy in/out!
  • Steel-reinforced frame with EPS energy-absorbing foam is side-impact tested for superior protection

Easy to clean and instal!
By Nicole

Love this car seat. Was going to order the exact one for my 9 month old before I realized it was now discontinued (I’ll get a next fit zip air still) the car seat is wonderful and I feel like it keeps my son completely safe! Only problem is it is pretty heavy but that’s not a huge issue since you don’t even have to completely uninstall it to clean the cover!
Good car seat, but glad I got it discounted
By Sara

I did a ton of research before buying a convertible car seat. My son tends to run hot, so I thought this one would be great with the breathable fabric. I also loved the idea of being able to zip off the liner to make washing easier for spills, etc. I have an Audi Q7 that has latches across all 3 seats, so we have this in the middle seat of the 2nd row. In order to get the base and seat to be level (bubble in the correct area), this is a bit more reclined than my son prefers. He's tall/big for his age, and even with the comfort of the mesh seat, he prefers the car seat in my husband's truck better, which is a different brand, that allows for him to sit up straighter. I also don't like the fact that there are no build in cup holders, and it's almost impossible to keep the straps out of the way when getting him into it.

This car seat is very easy to install and super comfy for my toddler. I LOVE the washable cover - now that I know these exist, I won't ever buy another car seat without a washable cover.

Loved out Chicco Key Fit and just received the Nextfit and love it also. It was easy to install and feels so safe. My daughter loves to ride in it and seems comfortable. I really appreciate the option to zip out the liner and wash it and I feel like the air option will be a big plus in the heat of Florida.

Using for an infant
By Still M.
from California
on October 10, 2018
Verified Buyer
This carseat is super cushy for the baby. There are lots of different angles of recline (as my baby is still rear-facing). Its a little annoying having to pick the baby up over the seat to put him down in it. I miss how the infant carseat snapped in and out of the base. But I have to say he is safe and secure. I also think that it was worth the extra money to get the Air edition with the breathable mesh in the back. The baby is a little heat ball surrounded by material.
Pros
  • easy to level
Cons
  • somewhat big
Very Well Made Carseat
By Kim
from Lost Creek, WV
on October 10, 2018
Verified Buyer
I bought this car seat for my great grandson, so I don't have first hand knowledge about it. But my daughter says it is very well made and padded and she loves the recline positions. The baby seems to really like it. He is a very active six-month-old and had a tendency to lean forward out of his old one and then fall asleep with his head hanging over the side. She can recline him more in this one so he can't hang out of it.
Pros
  • Very sturdy. Very well padded. Reclines for any situation.
Cons
  • Somewhat hard to get the car seat belt through even though she has small hands.
Love it.

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.

Chicco ix zip air
By Michelle

on July 25, 2018
Verified Buyer
This is my favorite convertible car seat. It does sit high but for a petite child it is perfect.
Pros
  • It is so comfortable my child poops every time she sits on it. Which goes to show that the zip part is actually a much needed and used part of the seat as well. It does not take long to dry either.
Cons
  • The only con is the latch is a two step system. I like the latch system better on the Evenflo convertible car seat.
Great Convertible Carseat

I purchased the Chicco Nextfit Zip Air for my ten month old as she will soon outgrow her Chicco Keyfit 30. We will be moving across the country soon to a much warmer location so the breathable fabric will be perfect. She is already enjoying having more room in her seat and being able to sit a little more upright. This carseat is well-padded and solidly built to keep her comfortable and safe for years to come. We are very happy with our purchase!

Zipper is worth it
By Kelly
from Tennessee
on June 28, 2018
Verified Buyer
First, I love the Chicco brand. I am always comfortable knowing Chicco has built a superior product with safety and convenience in mind. This car seat meets those standards. Second, the zipper makes washing the liner much easier than with his Chicco infant car seat. Third, this seat appears to be quite comfy for my child. I'm a firm believer in rear-facing as long as possible and this car seat has provided me that opportunity while keeping my child comfy! My complaint is that the push button to release the straps and remove the child is incredibly difficult to press.
Pros
  • Comfortable
  • Easy to clean
  • Exceptional quality
Cons
  • Difficult button

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

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.

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.

Perfect carseat
By cole31

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.

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!
