Chicco Keyfit 30 and Chicco Keyfit Infant Car SeatsThe installation is straight forward. The only difference which I've noticed between the Keyfit and Keyfit 30 is that the earlier version needs some weight against it.
A spokesperson wrote back: “There are no actual rules or regulations in the U.S. about using an expired date car seat.” The U.S. government isn't oblivious to the possibility that a child safety seat could degrade over time.
Most car seat bases are good for six years from their manufacturing date. Why do car seats expire after 5 years? Most car seats expire after six years because of wear and tear but also because safety regulations and new technology developments might render older models less safe to use.
Used for infants up to 22 to 35 pounds or more; check the instruction manual or the seat label for weight limits. Babies who have outgrown their infant-only safety seat will need a larger seat that can be used rear-racing, such as a convertible safety seat, until they are 2 years of age.
The Chicco Keyfit 30 fits into a stroller frame made by the same company. If that's not your style, the Chicco also fits into strollers made by: Baby Jogger, BOB, Britax, Bugaboo, Bumbleride, Mamas and Papas, Mountain Buggy, Phil and Ted's, Quinny, UPPAbaby and Valco, just to name a few.

- How to Choose the Right Infant Seat for Your Child.
Grasp the carry handle with one hand, then squeeze the base catch release button and pull out base release catch with the other hand. With the catch released, raise the Baby Capsule away from the base.
Push the two buttons on the handle to raise it or push the handle in before pulling the handle into the upright position. Grab the release button on the bottom of the car seat and squeeze. The button is located either near your infant's feet or behind his head. Pull up on the carrier until it releases from the base.
As time goes on and your baby grows, the newborn cushion and head hugger can be removed; this is generally between 5-6 months of age. When you remove the cushion from under the baby, it will 'drop' them down in the seat, giving them more room to grow.
If it didn't come with your car seat, then don't use it. Generally it's okay to use the infant inserts that come with your car seat, but ONLY if your baby's head is not pushed onto his chest. If the insert pushes your baby's head forward, check the owner's manual, and if it says you're allowed to remove it, then do so.
Infant InsertsThe newborn positioner – the part the child sits on – is optional for 4-11 pounds but must be removed no later than when the child weighs 11 pounds. The head insert is optional at any weight as long as the harness is in one of the lower two sets of harness slots.
