The Chicco NextFit Zip is the middle child of the Chicco range. Not quite a lightweight car seat and not quite a fully-fledged performance ride, either, it will suit parents who are looking to take the rear-facing step up from most convertible or even all-in-one car seats. The Chicco NextFit Zip has a few stellar features. With a zip-off design and tons of padding, it\u2019s friendly for both parents and the little passengers – even though it\u2019s a bit pricey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s a convertible car seat for a rear-facing longer.<\/p> Essentially, it\u2019s simply a souped-up version of NextFit Sport. Yet, while the Zip improves on the rear-facing weight and height limits<\/a> of its predecessor, its increased price makes it not as a budget option as its little bro.\u00a0<\/p> NextFit Zip ranks top on the price list for a convertible car seat. But if you have enough budget for a long-last child restraint to offer great protection and comfort to your growing child, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s worthy.\u00a0<\/p> The rarely seen 43-inch rear-facing height limit ensures your child can stay in the car seat facing the back when they are two years or even older, like 4 years old<\/a>, as long as they don\u2019t outgrow the 40-pound weight limit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p> This combination of good weight and height limits is 100% appealing for those who are living or planning to travel in the states that legally require the child to stay in a rear-facing car seat until they are 2 years old<\/a>.<\/p> These states include New York<\/a>, Connecticut<\/a>, Illinois<\/a>, Maine<\/a>, Louisiana<\/a>, Nebraska<\/a>, New Hampshire<\/a>, New Jersey<\/a>, Oklahoma<\/a>, Oregon<\/a>, Pennsylvania<\/a>, South Carolina<\/a>, Virginia<\/a>, and Washington<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t To be frank, that depends on both your kids and your needs. But we\u2019ll answer this question from two factors that you may really care to travel with a kid in whatever way – car or airplane.<\/p> The first is its protection performance<\/strong>, of course.\u00a0<\/p> Built in with the company\u2019s unique DuoGuard technique, along with the steel-reinforced frame, and tons of padding around the frame and seat base, the NextFit Zip gives the little passenger great protection.\u00a0<\/p> Correct installation matters 90% for the safety of the car seat.\u00a0<\/p> The Chicco company has two patented techniques to ensure parents install the NextFit Zip properly. The SuperCinch\u00ae force-multiplying tightener and LockSure\u00ae belt-locking system make it easy to achieve a tight fit with LATCH or with the vehicle seat belt.<\/p> Secondly, it\u2019s the comfort rating.<\/p> The car seat is the only place your child stays in a vehicle or plane. Comfortable or not deciding whether they are willing to love it or not.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSafety Rating\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
