There are several standout features of the Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat, and all of them pay attention to safety, style and function.

The Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is one of a new generation of rear-facing car seats that accommodate infants up to 30 pounds, rather than the standard 22 pounds. In addition, the Chicco KeyFit 30 is designed for infants up to 33 inches in length, which is considerably more than most infant car seats, which go up to about 29 inches. This is important because children must remain in a rear-facing car seat until they reach one year of age and at least 20 pounds. More great news: Even though the Chicco KeyFit 30 can hold a larger infant, the car seat weighs the same 9 pounds it always has.

With an energy-absorbing EPS foam liner, the Chicco KeyFIt 30 offers additional impact protection. It has a five-point harness with a simple up-front one-pull adjustment and a built-in chest clip that is easy to secure. The harness itself is convenient to adjust, buckle and unbuckle. This car seat comes with a padded insert that lines the area under and around an infant's body and head. In a chic shade of red with coordinating trim, the Chicco KeyFit 30 is a head-turner.

The Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat comes with a base and has a bubble-level guide on each side to guide in installation. It is LATCH-equipped and has a one-push leveling base that can be adjusted to the angle of a vehicle's seat. Plus, a sealed underside keeps crumbs from hiding in the base's nooks and crannies -- and helps protect a vehicle's seat.

The Chicco Cortina, Ct 0.1, Trevi and S3 strollers are all compatible with the KeyFit 30. Simply secure the car seat to one of these strollers for an instant travel system. Overall, this is a stylish car seat with plenty of important safety features, and because it can fit children up to 30 pounds, it is a practical choice.
