Chicco MyFit

The Chicco MyFit has a standing height limit of 54″ for the harness mode, which is much taller than the typical 49″ limit that most harness seats have. In addition to the tall standing height limit, this seat also has a tall harness height of 19.5″. This means that it’s a great option for kids with tall torsos.

Since the Chicco MyFit is only 17.5″ wide when the cupholders are folded in, it may work well in some 3 across configurations. We have some other more narrow options here. But we did fit 3 across in a 2012 Toyota Camry with a Safety 1st Comfort Ride, Evenflo LiteMax, and a Chicco MyFit, as you can see in this picture.

This seat offers more of a recline than other forward-facing seats, so it may be a good option for some children. If your child needs more support than a conventional seat can offer, we talk about all of our favorite adaptive options here.

Thanks to multiple recline options, you can typically use this seat in harness mode with non-removable vehicle headrests. But it’s often incompatible in high back booster mode as it has to be flush with the vehicle seat in that mode. If you have a vehicle with non-removable headrests, you may wish to choose a different seat.

Chicco does not allow the use of mats, towels, or anything else under their seats. If that’s a deal-breaker for you, you’ll need to check out other car seat options.

Since the lower anchors for the Chicco MyFit have a maximum weight limit of 40 pounds, you will eventually have to do a seat belt installation. In some vehicles, this method of installation can be challenging. Make sure you utilize the Inside Out Trick to help you get a tight installation. We have found that sometimes this seat works better on outboard seats instead of in the center seating position.

Recline bubbles are very uncommon on forward-facing harness seats and even rarer with boosters. But this seat has a recline bubble for each of those. The Chicco MyFit has 4 recline options to help you get the bubble in the right area.
