Who is the MyFit Air ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat for?

The Chicco MyFit Air ClearTex is a forward-facing harness and booster seat with mesh panels. Its manual sets harness mode at 26.5 to 65 lb, 54 in or less and at least 2 years old, and booster mode at 40 to 100 lb, 44 to 57 in and at least 4. The manual gives an 8-year life.

Reasons to consider it

  • Moisture-wicking fabrics and mesh panels, per Chicco's page
  • A flex-forward crotch buckle that stays out of the way while loading
  • ClearTex flame retardant-free materials with GREENGUARD Gold certification
  • Tight back seats: 17.5 in wide, and Chicco says it fits 3 across

Things to weigh up

  • The page's specification table says 25 to 65 lb and 38 to 57 in, while the manual says 26.5 to 65 lb and 44 to 57 in
  • Forward-facing only, for children at least 2 years old
  • The manual says not to use it once it is more than 8 years old
  • Booster mode is not certified for aircraft

My take on the MyFit Air ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat

The MyFit Air ClearTex suits a family that wants the MyFit ClearTex's harness-to-booster range with moisture-wicking fabric, mesh panels and a flex-forward crotch buckle that stays out of the way when loading. Chicco lists the same 17.5 in width, 25 lb weight and 9 headrest positions as the MyFit ClearTex. One caution: its own specification table gives different minimums from its usage text and manual, so I would follow the manual.

Who the MyFit Air ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat fits

This seat covers 2 stages, and a child has to meet every limit of the stage they are in. Chicco gives it a 8-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.

How the MyFit Air ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat installs

Belt lock-off
LockSure belt lock-off. A lock-off clamps the vehicle belt so you do not have to switch the belt's retractor into its locked mode.
Lower anchors
Standard LATCH. Check your vehicle manual for which seating positions have anchors, and switch to the seat belt once the child passes the anchor weight limit in the manual.
Recline
4 recline positions. The recline angle is what keeps a young baby’s airway open, so set it before tightening the install.
Harness
9-position headrest/harness height adjust. Check the harness height at each growth spurt: at or below the shoulders rear-facing, at or above them forward-facing.

Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.

Will it fit your car?

At 17.5 in at its widest, this seat is one of the narrower ones in its class and is a candidate for three across in many mid-size cars. It weighs 25 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.

  • Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
  • Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
  • Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.

What features does the MyFit Air ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat have?

  • 9-position headrest/harness height adjust
  • LockSure belt lock-off

What to know before you live with it

What the Air version adds

Chicco's page lists moisture-wicking fabrics and mesh panels for airflow, and a flex-forward crotch buckle that stays out of the way when loading. It uses ClearTex flame retardant-free materials, is GREENGUARD Gold certified and has a zippered seat pad for reaching the belt paths, plus wipeable leatherette armrests. The page also lists a 4-position recline, 9 headrest positions, LockSure lock-offs, Standard LATCH and two dishwasher-safe cup holders.

Installing it

Set the seat with the installation lines on its base parallel to the vehicle seat and recline until the bubble is between the lines; on a slope, use only position 3 or 4. For LATCH, unzip the side of the seat pad, lift the zip-on headrest pad and take the straps from the storage compartment. LATCH is not allowed for a child over 40 lb, and the top tether is always used when your car has an anchor. For the seat belt, route it through the red path behind the backrest, buckle it, close the zipper and slide the shoulder belt into the lock-off.

Harness, crotch pad and booster mode

The headrest has 9 positions and the harness sits at or just above the shoulders. The chest clip pads must always be used in harness mode. The flex-forward crotch pad slides over the buckle, its winged base goes down behind the buckle, and a snap on its strap holds it in place; it comes off for booster mode. Booster setup stores the chest clip and buckle tongues in a compartment at the bottom of the seat back and the crotch buckle beside the crotch strap slots. On a plane, the seat is certified in harness mode only.

Cleaning

Soft goods can be hand washed, or machine washed cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent, then hung to dry. Shoulder pads are hand washed. The manual says not to remove the harness straps, chest clip or chest clip pads, and to spot clean the pads with warm water and mild soap. LATCH and adjuster straps and the buckle get warm water only. The cup holders can go on the top rack of a dishwasher. No bleach, solvents or household cleaners, and never use the seat without its pad.

Can the MyFit Air ClearTex be used on an airplane?

Chicco lists the MyFit ClearTex with the same 26.5 to 65 lb harness and 40 to 100 lb booster ranges, 17.5 in width and 25 lb weight. Its page does not list the mesh panels, moisture-wicking fabric or flex-forward crotch buckle.

  3. Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
  4. Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Chicco so you hear about the next one.
