Chicco KidFit ClearTex Positioning Booster Reviews Summary

Installation & Security

Pros:

• "Installation is very easy and the seat seems very secure and safe."
• "This booster is exactly what we needed. It is easy to install. I love that it offers Latch to secure it to the seat."
• "Super easy install and I love the fact that it has the latch system so the car seat doesn’t slide when they get in and out of the car and stays in place if they are not in their seat."
• "Love that it has latch straps!!! Great safety feature. Lightweight and install is super easy!"
• "Easy to connect the base to the latch system and tighten the base."
• "This is incredibly easy to install."
• "It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever installed in my car."

Cons:

• "I hated it as there is not top anchor!"
• "I do not feel that the connection between the back to the base is super sturdy."
• "The latch system straps aren’t long enough for the middle seat."
• "Depending on your car, it can be a little awkward to get the latch to engage because the straps are so short."
• "The anchors are not long enough to connect to the latch bars with the back of the booster seat in place, it would only latch with the back off."
• "I could not connect the latch brackets to my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. The latch attached to the seat is just too short to reach the hooks in the seat."
• "Got this installed with the latch system and tightened all the way and the seat slides all over the place. Very unsafe."

Comfort & Design

Pros:

• "This Chicco is the best padded, most easy to reach around and buckle for themselves, and easy to move it around."
• "She loved the color options."
• "The entire booster seat offers a good amount of cushion and the seat belt stays in place!"
• "Granddaughter loves the freedom and comfort of travel better than the five point harness system."
• "The materials are definitely more high end."
• "It’s thicker and more comfortable for longer trips."
• "Its soft and has extra padding making it comfortable for long rides."

Cons:

• "I was hoping too that the head rest would better support my son’s head when he falls asleep but it’s no better than the Evenflo in that regard."
• "Only downfall is while she sleeps and because of the upright position her head is in uncomfortable looking positions."
• "The fabric on the leg rest portion gets snagged very easily."
• "The seat was so loose that in an impact, I would be afraid for my child’s safety."
• "The whole back wiggles and I can’t see this as being safe in the case of an accident, even with the booster secured in place."
• "Booster seat seems sturdy but flaw is in design of track that is supposed to hold shoulder belt in place."
• "The plastic feels really cheap as if it would snap if too much pressure was put on it."

Convenience & Features

Pros:

• "Comes with two (2) sturdy SILICONE cup holders that fold in if not in use."
• "The little compartment thing is kinda big but she loves it for all her random little things that little kids just have to have with them."
• "We love the snack & separate drink tray."
• "Love the flexible cup holders so I can fit three car seats in a row."
• "The cup holders and extra 'kid console' insert make it very convenient for the kiddo to have snacks within reach."
• "Has two removable cup holders."
• "I love the extra cup holder with storage."

Cons:

• "My only complaint is it's too easy to unbuckle the latch connectors."
• "Trying to maneuver the seatbelt under the armrest closest to the seatbelt buckle is near torture."
• "Only con is that my child isn’t quite able to reach over the arm rest to buckle herself in."
• "The latch has an (in my opinion) idiotic design."
• "The latch release is very convenient."
• "But WHY oh why did they make the latch clips so short????"
• "It won’t fit flush with the back seat of the car. And per the manual it should or don’t use it. So... yeah. Only has the bottom latch and not the head one."
