Editorial update · Updated October 19, 2026. This page has been rewritten; historical models and events are identified in the text.
The September 2020 giveaway has ended. This address once announced a Chicco MyFit harness-and-booster promotion. The revised page keeps the historical topic accessible and focuses on a useful ownership question: can every caregiver identify and use the correct mode?
Agree on the child’s current stage
A combination seat has a forward-facing harness mode and a later belt-positioning booster mode. Those are different restraint arrangements. A child should not switch between them because one adult finds a particular method faster or remembers a different minimum from an older advertisement.
Use the exact MyFit manual and the child’s present fit to establish the approved arrangement. Chicco lists different manual periods for MyFit models, so retain the one that matches the seat. Write down any questions for the manufacturer or a qualified seat-check appointment.
Have each adult demonstrate the routine
Ask the adults who drive regularly to show how they buckle and adjust the harness, identify the correct belt route and locate the vehicle’s tether anchor. Demonstration is more revealing than asking whether everyone has read a leaflet. If the seat moves between cars, repeat the installation in each intended position.
Keep future booster instructions together
The eventual booster transition calls for a separate readiness decision, harness storage and a new check of vehicle-belt fit. Keep any parts and instructions needed for that change. Do not put the harness away early just because the product can become a booster.
Prepare for handovers
At a caregiver handover, communicate any adjustment made for growth and whether the seat was moved. A quick shared check is easier than discovering during a trip that the headrest setting or vehicle installation has changed. Avoid relying on the child’s memory to confirm setup details.
