Who is the MyFit Harness + Booster Car Seat for?

The Chicco MyFit is a forward-facing harness and booster seat. 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. Chicco lists it at 17.5 in wide, and the manual gives an 8-year life.

Reasons to consider it

  • A tall harness: 9 headrest positions and a 20 in maximum harness slot height
  • Seat belt installs with LockSure lock-offs, or LATCH up to 40 lb
  • Tight back seats: 17.5 in wide, and Chicco says it fits 3 across
  • Flights in harness mode on forward-facing aircraft seats

Things to weigh up

  • Forward-facing only, and only for children at least 2 years old
  • The manual says not to use it once it is more than 8 years old
  • 4 recline positions, and only positions 3 or 4 on a sloped surface
  • Unlike the MyFit ClearTex, its page does not describe flame retardant-free fabric

My take on the MyFit Harness + Booster Car Seat

The MyFit suits a child who has outgrown rear-facing and should stay in a harness longer before moving to a booster, in a car where width matters. It never rear-faces, so it does not replace an infant or convertible seat. The MyFit ClearTex has the same limits, width and weight but adds ClearTex flame retardant-free fabric and a zippered seat pad, and the MyFit Air ClearTex adds mesh panels and a flex-forward crotch buckle.

Who the MyFit 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 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 Harness + Booster Car Seat have?

  • 4 recline positions
  • 9-position headrest/harness height adjust
  • LockSure belt lock-off
  • Standard LATCH

What to know before you live with it

Installing it in harness mode

Place the seat so the installation lines on its base are parallel with the vehicle seat, then set the recline so the bubble is between the lines. On a slope, only positions 3 or 4 are allowed. For LATCH, you unsnap the armrest fabric and lift the seat pads to reach the storage compartment, attach both connectors and pull the adjuster while pushing down. LATCH is not allowed for a child over 40 lb, and the top tether is always used when your car has an anchor. With the seat belt, the belt runs through the red path behind the backrest and into the lock-off.

Harness and headrest

The headrest has 9 positions. A tab on the back of the seat releases it, and it clicks into place. It carries the harness, which should sit at or just above the shoulders, and you may need to loosen the harness before moving the headrest up. The manual says the chest clip pads must always be used in harness mode. The crotch strap has 2 positions, moved through a compartment under the seat pad. The manual also says never to lift or carry the seat by the harness or adjuster strap; carry it by the tether strap or the shell.

Switching to booster mode

The conversion stores the chest clip and buckle tongues in a compartment at the bottom of the seat back, the shoulder pads in a storage compartment, and the crotch buckle in a compartment next to the crotch strap slots. The backrest pad comes off by unhooking its elastic straps and snaps. In booster mode, the lap belt goes under both armrests and the shoulder belt through the orange guide under the headrest. LATCH and tether are optional; if you skip them, buckle the empty seat in. Booster mode needs a lap and shoulder belt, never a lap belt alone.

Cleaning

Soft goods can be hand washed, or machine washed in cold water 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; the pads are spot cleaned with warm water and mild soap. LATCH and adjuster straps and the buckle get warm water only. 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.

  4. Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Chicco so you hear about the next one.
