Chicco Cortina Keyfit 22 Travel System
Choosing a car seat can be one of the most daunting tasks for a mom or dad-to-be. If you're anything like me and my husband, you've spent hours trying to decipher crash tests and safety ratings. The good news is that all car seats on the market in the U.S. today have to meet certain government safety standards. The bottom line is most car seats are safe when properly installed. Note that last phrase... when properly installed. Not all car seats make this feat easy.
So, when picking a car seat, it is important to look for both safety and a user-friendly design. To help you made that decision, BabyEarth is spotlighting the Chicco Cortina Travel System.
Chicco (pronounced key-co) is an Italian company that manufactures a variety of baby products. One of their best selling items is the Cortina Travel System. Travel systems, or car seat/stroller combos, have become quite popular in recent years. Travel systems include a car seat base that stays in your car, a removable car seat that doubles as a baby carrier, and a stroller. The car seat can be quickly removed from the car and attached to the stroller without ever having to disturb your baby - which is a prized commodity for many parents.
The Chicco Cortina Travel System combines the KeyFit rear-facing infant car seat with the Cortina stroller. Chicco claims that KeyFit is the world's easiest car seat to install. Indeed, the car seat base is very easy to secure using the LATCH anchoring system that accompanies most vehicles made after 2003 (and a few models made in 2000-2002). The KeyFit base is also compatible with lap belt and/or shoulder belt harnesses. The car seat itself simply snaps into the base in a single motion. We've heard about a Chicco demonstration video where a man simply tosses the car seat onto its base and it snaps into place. The seat includes a single-pull LATCH adjustment to tighten the base and bubble level guides to ensure a secure, level fit.
In addition to base installation features, the KeyFit car seat also includes a removable newborn insert for smaller babies, energy-absorbing foam, a five-point harness, and a front, single-pull harness adjustment strap. The seat offers multi-position recline and is for infants 4 to 22 pounds.
The KeyFit car seat is compatible with the Cortina stroller, which doubles as a travel system for your infant and a full-size stroller for your growing baby. The Cortina stroller is stylish and contemporary in design. It is made of light-weight aluminum and offers a one-hand fold and automatic storage latch, a multi-position/fully reclining seat, parent and child cup holders, a dishwasher-safe tray liner, large storage basket, three-position leg rest, water-repellent canopy, height-adjustable handle, and all-wheel suspension. The KeyFit car seat is a breeze to snap in and out of the Cortina stroller, and after your baby outgrows the car seat you can continue to use the stroller until your child reaches 50 pounds.
The Chicco Cortina Travel System is an economical, safe, and convenient choice for new parents. BabyEarth carries the Chicco Cortina Travel System in three sleek, gender-neutral patterns, Explorer, Iceberg, and Manhattan.
