Chicco Fit360 ClearTex Rotating Convertible Car Seat Review-chicco fit360 cleartex rotating convertible car seat

Saves my back! Beautiful, functional, and most importantly, rotates 360! I did alot of research as a first time mom on which car seat was safe, easy to use, and will grow with a newborn. I didn’t care for a separate infant car seat since they grow so fast and would be an added expense. This car seat came with newborn inserts so I was able to bring home my 7 pound 11 ounces baby and was easy to remove once baby out grew it. The straps and head rest are easy to adjust especially after each growth spurt. Make sure to use the harness buckle stowage on the side when taking baby out so you’re not messing with the harness when putting baby in. The magnetic chest clip makes strapping in baby quick and easy as well! The feature I love the most and a big reason for the purchase is the ability for it to rotate. It’s simple to use with just one hand and saves my back from twisting and reaching over to put baby in and take out. Installation is also simple and quick. Its a bit heavy but I have not needed to remove it from my car, you can also buy a separate base which most other car seats do not offer. Make sure to read the manual thoroughly! It may be a learning curve to figure everything out but once you do it’s so simple and practical! The only thing I can say that I do not like is the strap that is used to click the car seat off the base – I barely use it, it gets in the way, and there is no stowage for it so its just hanging out and can get caught when rotating the seat. I put it in the cup holder and always check because its been caught before and its a pain to take out. However, I still highly recommend this car seat if that is its only flaw. It’s been 4 months and this car seat has held up well to a blow out and multiple spit ups.
