Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System

The Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 is a top selling travel system, and it's easy to see why. Italian-based Chicco matches its tricked-out Cortina stroller with the renowned KeyFit 30 rear-facing infant car seat to create the ultimate blend of style, convenience, and value.

With an expanded weight rating, Chicco's KeyFit 30 allows your child to stay rear-facing up to 30 pounds, which is one of the highest weight limits among infant car seats. In addition to its extended weight limit, the KeyFit 30 is also highly regarded for its ease of installation. The KeyFit 30 stay-in-car base includes bubble level guides and a single-pull LATCH adjustment to ensure a secure and correct installation in a matter of seconds. The Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat comes loaded with safety and comfort features, such as a five-point harness with strap covers, easy push-button/single-pull harness adjustor, and EPS energy absorbing foam.

When you're ready to go for a stroll, the KeyFit 30 car seat simply clicks out of its base and into the Cortina stroller in a single motion. The Cortina offers just about every convenience you'd expect on a full size stroller, plus some unique features like the "memory recline" seat that remembers the last position the seat was in when the stroller is folded. Once your kiddo outgrows her infant car seat, the Cortina stroller can continue to be used up to 50 pounds.

For parents looking for an easy, all-in-one package, the Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System is everything you need to get your new baby out on the town in comfort, safety, and style.

Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System

Choosing a car seat can be one of the most daunting tasks for a mom or dad-to-be. You've probably spent hours trying to decipher crash tests and safety ratings and are still stumped about what seat is best for your child. 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.com is spotlighting the Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 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 KeyFit 30 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 compatible stroller. The car seat can be quickly removed from the vehicle base and attached to the stroller without ever having to disturb your baby - which is a prized commodity for many parents.

The Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System combines the new KeyFit 30 rear-facing infant car seat with the Cortina stroller. Chicco claims that KeyFit 30 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 30 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.

The newly designed KeyFit 30 infant car seat is rated to support babies from 4 to 30 pounds, a full eight pounds more than the original KeyFit 22. This redesign gives the KeyFit 30 one of the highest weight limits among infant car seats on the market and adds months of use to this popular Chicco car seat. Like its predecessor, the KeyFit 30 car seat includes a removable newborn insert to add comfort and protection for use up to 11 pounds, energy-absorbing foam, a five-point harness, multi-position recline, and a front, single-pull harness adjustment strap. The KeyFit 30 also includes a new pull-down sun visor for added sun protection for your little one.

The KeyFit 30 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 child. 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 30 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. With the new KeyFit 30, Chicco offers several updated, sophisticated patterns in the same quality, comfortable Italian fabric as the original Cortina travel system.

The Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System is an economical, safe, and convenient choice for new parents.
