Description

Chicco’s FIt2 is an infant seat that converts to a toddler seat in a rear-facing position, so you can use it up to age two. Why is this important? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping your child rear facing until at least two, and in some states, it is becoming the law. However, most babies outgrow their infant car seats around a year, and then need to graduate to a convertible car seat. The Fit2 tries to solve this problem by keeping them in an infant seat til two, and then can graduate to the forward-facing position convertible. Get more info on how to choose a car seat.

The infant position is more reclined, with removable head and body supports, while the toddler position is more upright with greater leg room, offering comfort and safety for your growing child without taking up more space in the car.

A lever built into the base makes it super easy to switch between the two positions. The seven-position headrest and padded, no-rethread harness are easy to adjust throughout both stages.

Like Chicco’s other car seats, the Fit2 has features that help you install it correctly: a spring-loaded leveling foot with one-hand operation helps get the base angled properly, and two bubble level indicators let you easily verify the correct position. The LATCH connectors have a SuperCinch tightener help achieve a secure fit with a fraction of the effort.

An integrated stabilizer bar increases surface contact between the base and vehicle seat, providing added support and leverage for a secure install. The base also has integrated lock-offs for installing with the seat belt instead of LATCH connectors, and the enclosed underside helps protect your upholstery.

The Fit2 seat is thickly padded and lined with energy absorbing foam for side impact protection. The premium fabric is woven in Italy, with a removable, machine washable seat pad.

This car seat might not work all the way up to two years for very tall babies. Boys above the 75th precentile and girls above the 80th are more than 35” by then. If you come from a tall family and are counting on this until two, keep that in mind.

Stroller Compatibility

To attach the car seat to a stroller, the Fit2 is compatible with most Chicco strollers and other popular strollers, including the list below (this list isn’t exhaustive, but includes strollers featured in the Babylist store). Non-Chicco strollers require an adapter to fit the Fit2.
