anyone have the Chicco KeyFit 30 carseat?

I absolutely HATE the carseat we have so DH and I are looking at this one. I've heard it's much lighter than others. Mine is heavy without DS in it. If you have it what do you like/dislike about it? TIA!

I like ours a lot, but it is heavy...not sure how it compares in weight to others.

i think it is fine, but DS hates it. he is all scrunched up in it and is not a fan. and it is heavy (i think it's 9 lbs. w.out him in it). the grace safeseat is lighter (but holds a bigger baby, like the key fit).

why don't you just get a convertible? DS is much happier in the bigger carseat.

idk, we haven't really used the infant seat much in terms of lugging him around in it. i just take him out and carry him or put him in my moby or the bjorn. it seems to me like buying another infant car seat that he will outgrow quickly is a waste of $$.

I have one and like it. ?It is heavy though.

Love it! DS gets a little warm in it sometimes, but we live in Texas and I'm sure he'll get a little warm in anything. Also, it is a bit heavy but I don't think it matters what kind of carseat you have when you're carrying around a heavy baby. It'll always be heavy.

We have this one and I love that's it's so safe but it breaks my arm every time I try to lift it. It is H-E-A-V-Y!

I have the 22 and it has always been very heavy! We bought it because of safety, but really, DS has never enjoyed sitting in it. Maybe he would feel that way with every infant seat, but it could be his positon inside. DS is 21 lbs so we bought a Britax Boulevard and love it! However, it's so nice to have a place for your baby to sleep if you are out and about. If I had to suggest a new carseat to a friend I would probably suggest a Graco because they are lighter.
