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

The Chicco MyFit ClearTex is a forward-facing harness and booster seat with flame retardant-free materials. The harness is for children at least 2 years old, 26.5 to 65 lb and 54 in or less. Booster mode is for children at least 4, 40 to 100 lb and 44 to 57 in. The manual gives an 8-year life.

Reasons to consider it

  • ClearTex flame retardant-free materials with GREENGUARD Gold certification
  • A side zipper on the seat pad that opens access to the belt paths
  • Tight back seats: 17.5 in wide, and Chicco says it fits 3 across
  • A tall harness, with a 20 in maximum harness slot height

Things to weigh up

  • 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
  • LATCH is not allowed for a child over 40 lb in harness mode
  • Booster mode is not certified for aircraft

My take on the MyFit ClearTex Harness + Booster Car Seat

The MyFit ClearTex suits a family that wants the MyFit's harness-to-booster range with ClearTex flame retardant-free materials and a zippered seat pad that opens to reach the belt paths. Chicco lists the same 17.5 in width, 25 lb weight and 9 headrest positions as the original MyFit. The MyFit Air ClearTex keeps these figures and adds moisture-wicking fabric, mesh panels and a flex-forward crotch buckle.

Who the MyFit 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 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 ClearTex and the zipper change

Chicco's page says the MyFit ClearTex uses ClearTex flame retardant-free materials and is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions. It also lists a zipper on the seat pad for reaching the belt paths and switching modes, plus wipeable leatherette armrests. The page also lists a 4-position recline, 9 headrest positions, LockSure lock-offs, two dishwasher-safe cup holders, a steel-reinforced frame, and 26.5 to 65 lb harness and 40 to 100 lb booster ranges.

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 position 3 or 4 only. For LATCH, unzip the side of the seat pad, flip it open, lift the zip-on headrest pad and pull the seat bottom pad forward to reach the storage compartment. LATCH is not allowed above 40 lb, and the top tether is always used if there is an anchor. For the seat belt, route it through the red path behind the backrest, buckle it, zip the pad closed and slide the shoulder belt into the lock-off.

Harness, booster and flights

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. For booster mode, the chest clip and buckle tongues go into a compartment at the bottom of the seat back and the crotch buckle into a compartment beside the crotch strap slots. The child must be at least 4 years old, 40 to 100 lb and 44 to 57 in. On a plane, the seat is certified in harness mode only and only on forward-facing aircraft seats.

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 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.

Before you buy

  1. Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
  2. Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect; Chicco lists 4 colors of this seat.
  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.
