Common problems with the Chicco Corso
- Take the toddler seat off the frame first; the infant seat goes on the Corso's own car seat adapter.
- Fold both arms of the adapter down, line up its tongues with the slots on the frame and push down until it clicks.
- Pull up on the adapter to check it is held firmly.
- Set the Chicco infant seat onto the frame (it can face you or face forward) and listen for a click on both sides.
- Pull up on the infant seat. If it lifts off, go back and check the adapter is put together and attached correctly.

- Yes. Chicco puts an expiration date on every car seat and every base.
- Check that date before you use a seat or base with your child.
- No. Chicco says to replace both the car seat and the base after a crash.
- This applies even when you can't see any damage.
- Hold the seat or base at the belt path, where the lower anchor strap or seat belt runs.
- Pull it side to side and front to back.
