KeyFit 30 Romantic

Does any have the Chicco KeyFit 30 in Romantic? I haven't seen it in any retail stores in the area and 1/2 the places I found it online seem to be out of stock or it is on backorder. I am not purchasing it just yet, unless I see a really good deal on it. If you have this car seat, where did you purchase it from? If you purchased your car seat online where did you get if from? TIA.

Re: KeyFit 30 Romantic

  • I purchased the KeyFit 30 Adventure (Green) from Albee Baby (www.albeebaby.com).  At the time we purchased the KeyFit, the site had the best deal.  You won't be dissapointed with the travel system.

     

  • I ordered this (travel system) from Lone Star Baby in Frisco last week. Per the manufacturer, it is a popular model and back ordered until June (I am due July 1, but have a recaro camo to use as the backup). Lone Star had a great deal: the car seat & base, the stroller for 329 & when I ordered it last week, Chicco was throwing in a free extra base (worth 79 dollars).  From what I've seen online this system is any where from 319 and up, not including the extra base.....If you decide to order now and thru Lone Star, make sure you ask about the free extra base....I think it's only good thru the end of April and you need to ask about it, they may not tell you at firsst.  Total cost after taxes was around 350. YOu can put half down to place the order, too.
  • I know this is the huge debate but...

    everyone I know who has the Chicco KeyFit wishes they had gone with the Graco. Their car seat is a ton heavier than than the graco. I have loved my graco car seat and metrolite stroller.

    I have the metropolitan print in some of the stuff and ionic print in others. ?

  • My parents bought us the Chicco Keyfit in the green color. We just bought it at Babies R Us.?

    As far as chicco vs. graco, I went to BRU and literally pulled out every stoller they had and pushed them around, compared the carseats, folded and unfolded the stollers, etc. I really like the chicco one the best, and thinks it folds up nice and small and handles well. The carseat is a bit heavier, but I figure by the time it is super heavy, I won't really be lugging the kid around in that anyway.?

    I concur with everything that Kim said.  When I road tested the Graco stroller vs the Chicco, I thought the handlebar was higher on the Chicco.  For me that was the deciding straw.  I'm 6ft & my DH is 6ft6in, so we needed a stroller that wasn't short.  Also, by the time C was nearly 8mos, I was no longer pulling the carseat around anyway.  We upgraded to the Britax & my DH used the Chicco for a bit until C was to heavy for it.  He just left the carseat in his truck like the Britax seat.  It was easier to leave the seat in & get C out, especially for my back.  We still use the stroller, even though it takes up the majority of my Civic trunk.  I too like how it folds by using one-hand.

  • Thanks for all of the feedback. We are actually not purchasing the complete travel system, just the car seat. We are acutally getting the Bumbleride Flyer in Spring and I picked the Romantic to go with it b/c it is neutral colors b/c I don't really feel it is necessary to buy the matching car seat cover from Bunbleride for it. Plus, maybe I am wrong and dreamed this up somewhere, but does switching to a cover not made by the manufacturer void the warranty? Thanks again for the help.
