The baseless car seat comes with built-in ISOFIX connectors which click into the vehicle's lower anchor bar with the sound of a loud, clear clunk. It's especially convenient for taxi rides, fly-drive holidays, and trips to grandparent's vehicles, where you might not have a separate infant car seat.

Like the Chicco NextFit, the Seat3Fit is a lie-flat seat, meaning it can be used either forward-facing or rear-facing mode. However the maximum height of the harness is lower and it can't change into a booster. Its soft goods are made out of ClearTex fabric, which passes Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards flammability requirements without adding chemical flame retardants.

The belt guides are clearly labeled and the superior lower anchor connectors facilitate installation. The height of the harness can be adjusted with just a single push, and the headrest fits infants well. One drawback of the seat is that it does not have an swivel that rotates 360 degrees, but this wasn't a major issue for our testers.

Seat3Fit's straps are easy to thread and there's no need to rethread them during colder days. Dress your baby in a way that isn't hanging over the car seatbelts. Also, remove any blankets or coats that are large prior to using the seat.
