Chicco - Key Fit

Note: These videos should not be used to compare one product to another. Transport Canada did not do these tests to rate, rank or endorse individual seats. Testing conditions represent some specific situations and not all possibilities. Testing conditions may also vary between seats. The tests did reveal how various seats behaved during crashes and how this behaviour varied with the method of installing the seat in a vehicle. The seats seen in these videos were purchased at retail stores. Some seats may no longer be available on the Canadian market.

   *    = Anomaly: such as a separation of the seat from the base, cracking or reduced integrity of seat or base, or other unexpected behaviour.
