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.
Forward-facing harness26.5 to 65 lb · Up to 54 in · from 2 years
The child faces forward in the seat’s own harness. Use the top tether every time, and stay in the harness until the child outgrows it.
High-back booster40 to 100 lb · 44 to 57 in · from 4 years
The seat’s own back and belt guide route the vehicle belt across the shoulder, and the sides give the child something to lean on when they sleep.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Is the MyFit Air ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat recalled?
25C005000: does not cover this model. Campaign 25C005000 (Part 573 report submitted May 9, 2025, and the earlier April 9 filings) limits the population to the MyFit Zip Air Harness and Booster, model numbers 07079561970070 (Q Collection) and 04079561190070 (Atmos), built Sep 1, 2020 to Aug 31, 2024, when MyFit Zip Air production ended; Chicco's May 14, 2025 retailer notice lists the same two model numbers only. The MyFit Air ClearTex carries model numbers 00087213350070 and 06087213560070 (a different 87xxx model base from the recalled 079561 numbers), none of which appear in the campaign population. Despite the shared "Air" in its name, it is not the MyFit Zip Air. Campaign source (read ).
Each campaign naming this family was read against this model’s numbers and build dates, and none covers it. Still check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use, especially on a used seat.
MyFit Air ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat: common questions
What are the MyFit Air ClearTex weight and height limits?
The manual sets harness mode at 26.5 to 65 lb and 54 in or less for children at least 2, and booster mode at 40 to 100 lb and 44 to 57 in for children at least 4. Chicco's specification table says 25 to 65 lb and 38 to 57 in, so check the label on your seat.
Can the MyFit Air ClearTex be used on an airplane?
Yes, in harness mode only, on forward-facing aircraft seats, with the lap belt through the red harness-mode path. Booster mode is not certified for aircraft because planes have no lap-shoulder belts.
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.
