Explore More About Product

The NextFit® iX convertible car seat fits your vehicle and fits your child with proven SuperCinch® LATCH functionality and a new LockSure™ vehicle belt-tightening system, plus easy-to-use adjustability designed to comfortably accommodate growing children from 5 to 65 pounds. 

NextFit® iX Zip also features a zip-off seat pad for easy cleaning.

Easy installation

NextFit® iX features a ReclineSure® leveling system and RideRight® bubble level-indicators to help achieve and verify proper angle in the vehicle seat. With nine recline positions, ReclineSure® is designed to accommodate a wider range of vehicles in both rear-facing and forward-facing modes. For installation with LATCH, premium connectors and a SuperCinch® force-multiplying tightener help achieve a secure fit with a fraction of the effort. (When it’s time to switch from rear-facing to forward-facing, the LATCH strap passes easily through the built-in slide path for proper re-positioning.) For installation with the vehicle seatbelt, clear belt routing and LockSure™ lock-offs make it easy to position, tighten and lock the belt into place.

Features:

  • ReclineSure® 9-position leveling system for an accurate fit in a wider range of vehicles
  • Dual RideRight® bubble level-indicators verify seat angle in both rear-facing and forward-facing modes
  • Premium connectors and a SuperCinch® tightener help achieve a secure installation with LATCH
  • LockSure™ belt-tightening system helps achieve a secure installation with vehicle seat belt
  • 9-position easy-adjust headrest and no-rethread harness accommodate growing children
  • Easy-pull, force-multiplying harness tightener for a snug and secure child fit with less effort
  • Zip & Wash seat pad easily zips out from shell for machine washing
  • Padded ComfortFlex® harness system keeps both sides of waist belt out of the way for easy in/out!
  • Removable newborn positioner accommodates infants from 5-11 lbs
  • Steel-reinforced frame with EPS energy-absorbing foam is side-impact tested for superior protection

Very happen with Chicco. I loved using the infant seat and love the nextfit convertible seat too. Very smooth in and and when dealing with the straps. Super easy latch system that I love. I got the model with the easy zip off fabric and it has came in handy after car sickness. Definitely reccomend this seat
Pros
  • Easy Zip off fabric
  • Smooth tightening and loosening straps
  • Latch system is great
  • Lots of recline positions
Cons
  • A bit heavy.. but a great seat

This seems like a nice transition seat from the infant carrier; it still cradles and reclines about as much. We had to put it on the most incline to keep baby's chin from not being on her chest - so I hope that will improve as she gets taller and not be a problem. I also worry she'll be too tall soon, but I read this one's supposed to be good for taller torso kids so here's hoping!

We love our Chico Nextfit Zips! They are so easy to unzip and throw in the wash. They are crazy heavy so I wouldn’t recommend traveling with them but they are wonderfully comfortable to have permanently installed in your car.

May 5, 2019
This car seat was very east to install with the super cinch latch.
The padding was very plush and seemed comfortable.
I have to move my car seats out of my car sometimes for work and this car seat is extremely heavy.
If you have to move it a lot I would not recommend it.
I also found that the high sides made it more difficult to get my son in rear facing in this car seat.
The cupholder on this seat is also a joke. It doesn't hold my son's cups and for a $200+ car seat I feel like they could have provided a better cupholder.
Pros
  • Easy Installation
  • Comfortable Fabric
  • Easy to take the cover off and wash
Cons
  • High Sides make it difficult to rear face
  • Heavy if you have to move it from car to car
  • Cupholder

Easy latch installation, love that it has the zipper to make it easy to remove and wash. My only negative is that the seatbelt harness installation is hard to do. But if you plan on using the latch system then you don’t have to worry about that.

Heavy and bulky with high sides but I prefer the added protection which is why I went with this seat over the Britax Boulevard. Zip feature is amazing. I also love that it has a storage compartment for the manual. Strap covers have nice cushion to them. Also, a TON of recline options! And the best thing; the install! Extremely easy. I can’t even express it enough how easy it truly is.

March 27, 2019
I love this car seat. We decided we needed a car seat in my husband's car as well now that the little man is in daycare so we branched out from our Maxi-Cosi and I'm so happy we did. This car seat takes up less leg room from the front passenger seat which is a plus in a mini cooper countryman. The straps are easy to tighten and loosen and the installation is very easy and you know you're doing it right with the levels on each side. I absolutely love the look of the Eclipse color that I just found out is discontinued, but none-the-less we are looking to purchase a second version of this now that our son is growing out of the original Maxi-Cosi seat. Highly recommend.
Cons
  • I wish it had some sort of shade or something to add for more sun protection.

The only thing that i didnt like much, is that it’s bulky or at least bulky for our, so if you have small car better to try it first

So far so good
March 1, 2019
We haven't had it more than a couple of weeks but so far so good. I think we are stunned at how much larger convertible seats are compared to the infant seat we had. This one is well made, easy to install, and probably wouldn't seem too large if we had a bigger car. (We have a VW wagon and I know some of you probably have an SUV). The straps are a little hard to clip and snug up. That's why I'm not giving it 5 stars.

This is the 4th carseat I've bought from Albees originally the keyfit 30 and now 3 nextfit seats. Initial one for my daughter for our grandson. My husband and I keep our grandson during the week and we initially thought we could share one seat and move between our vehicles. The price break allowed me to purchase the 3rd. Love it.

Chicco Nextfit ZIP
January 21, 2019
Extremely easy to install. My 14 month old has used it for the past four months and she's very comfortable in it. Also, easy to unzip and wash (which we've already had to do). The only con is that it's hard to get the zipper connected when putting the cover back on. My husband had to help me. Not bad enough to deduct a star though. It is a larger carseat but worth the extra space it takes up and super easy to put the baby into.

Newest Addition to our Chicco Family
January 2, 2019
Our family started using Chicco back in 2015 which included the Bravo travel system, then come 2016, we added 2 NextFit Zips. We welcomed another son in 2018 and shortly before we were going to switch him into one of the NextFit Zips, the car was totaled and we lost some of our gear. I found the IX Zip and bought it around Black Friday and it arrived within a few days. Just as our older generation NextFit, this one was super easy to install. Our youngest suffers from motion sickness on a regular basis and the cover is easy to get off and clean up. I honestly think the straps are easier to adjust than the older models and I like that the chest clip is click and go rather than the older 2-setting feature.

Pros
  • ?Straps are east to tighten/loosen
  • ?Great leveling system
  • ?Low maintenance cleaning
  • ?Great LATCH system
  • ?Soft, comfortable cushioning
Cons
  • ?Pretty bulky, therefore hard to carry from car to house, car to car, etc.

Fast Holiday Shipping & Would (did) buy again
December 27, 2018
This is my second Nextfit IX ZIP and I like it. Looks like a first class airline seat for my daughter. The sync cord to tighten the harness keeping my tolder in seems to be shorter than the first IX ZIP I bought at another retailer but it is not a problem.

I like this seat better than the britix version because the harness release button that keeps your tolder in is not recessed into the base soo much that it is hard to release the slack on a daily basis. I feel the included cup holder is on the smallish side though.

Best convertible car seat
December 9, 2018
This was my second purchase for a Chicco Nextfit zip car seat ready for baby number 2. My first baby hated being in the infant car seats so at about 6months we switched her to the chicco nextfit and travelling with her in the car was suddenly so much easier. Ilove how easy it is to clean but just unzipping it, I love that you don't have to unthread all the straps as the baby grows and it's great being able to keep her rear facing for so long. I managed to buy this one for a great price here on albee baby and am excited to start using it for my second child.

Kid loves it, just one hiccup
October 3, 2018
The seat is great. The instructions for install are fairly confusing and the pictures don’t actually provide much help. There is such a thing as too much information.
My kid looks comfortable and snug, but it is hard/awakard to lift him up and over and get him in it. Slight lack of thought when making the side angle of the seat. . Perhaps it’s just the rear facing that is more challenging and once he is forward facing it will be easier. Overall, it’s great and I feel that he is safe. I do miss any type of cover from the sun but overall, great buy.
Pros
  • Safety.
  • Comfort
Cons
  • Ease of getting baby in.
  • Lack of sun screen or cover.
