Looking for a great affordable all-in-one car seat but don’t want to miss out on outstanding features? Then the Chicco Fit4 could be precisely what you’re looking for. For its premium model, Chicco has moved from its standard budget style and upgraded several crucial components. The result is a car seat that provides enhanced build quality, a great size limit (100 lbs\/ 57″),\u00a0 a 10-year lifespan, and multiple positions for headrest and recline for the best customized fit. Disappointingly, the Fit4’s booster weight limit is on the low side compared to other all-in-one car seats at this price. However, it allows a higher harness height limit (54″) that is unbeatable of all car seats with a 5-point harness. This superior harness capacity combined with ergonomic design, 21.5-inch width, and two cup holders means that the Fit4 offers more than enough to ensure your kid’s comfort in the car seat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It’s not as cheap as some budget models<\/a> and it has only a 100-pound top weight capacity, which is slightly lower than some of the same-level all-in-one car seats<\/a> (120-pound weight limit).<\/p> The answer lies in its height limit and ergonomic design. Most car seats will have a 49-inch maximum harness height limit, which allows a kid to be secured with the 5-point harness around 5 years old. The Chicco Fit4 extends the harness riding time with a 54-inch height limit<\/strong>, making it good for tall kids to stay in the 5-point harness for as long as possible – its combination car seat Chicco MyFit<\/a> has the same height limit for forward-facing harness mode.<\/p> As well as suiting tall kids, the Fit4 is ideal if you’re a loyal fan who has known the Chicco brand and would like to pay the high price for its car seats (the Chicco<\/a> and Britax car seats<\/a> are usually more expensive than Graco car seats<\/a>).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The Chicco Fit4 is significantly more expensive than the Evenflo EveryStage with a listing price of $209.99 and our best recommendation is Graco 4Ever DLX ($329.99).<\/p> At $379.99 (listing price, the actual may be cheaper), the Fit4 may cost more than you’re willing to spend on a budget or a cheaper all-in-one car seat. While this means that it’s not a great deal for every family, for some parents, like my Friend Julia, the enhanced design, ease to use, extra features, and awesome harness height limit mean it’s well worth the extra money.<\/p> If you’re on a tight budget and looking to pick up an entry-level all-in-one car seat with the most practical features, you’d better off looking for true budget models like the Safety 1st Grow and Go<\/a>. Still, the Fit4 is a great option if you’re a parent that wants to keep your kid in the 5-point harness for a longer time.<\/p> The Fit4 also comes with lots of extra details that add value; for example, the 10 positions for the headrest and 9 positions for reclining are great to achieve a customized fit for growing kids. Plus, the removable cup holders and machine-washable fabrics offer convenience for both kids and parents.<\/p> See also:<\/p>Chicco Fit4 Review - 54\" Highest Limit for Extended Harness Use<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
