Car seat BASE needed or not?

Question

Hi mamas!! I am due to have a baby boy any moment now and I have purchased the Chicco Best Friend Trio Set that comes including the car seat.
I know have a doubt, can I just put that in the car as it is or does it needs a base to be bought separately to be installed in the car? 
Thanks in advance!!

Answer

For safety, the base should be installed, and definitely on its own before putting the car seat in

Answer

Bases are not required for most infant car seats, but help you easily get the correct angle needed for a safe install. I had a base in my car and one in my nanny’s car so we could just click my daughter in and not have to worry about installing with the belt.

Answer

not required but definitely helpful. i lost my base during a house fire i had so ill be using the carseat (it was at my in laws) without a base.

Answer

It can go in like that, just make sure you read how to do it properly

Answer

If it doesn’t come with it (I think it should though?) I would highly recommend getting a base. You can use most infant car seats without, but the base is so much easier!
Our travel system including the car seat base with the car seat (not this one)

Answer

Idk if it's required but it definitely makes it a ton easier than trying to fumble with the seat belt over the carseat. Just pop it on the base & done!

Answer

Base isn’t a must, it’s ok to use without one. For daily car it’s probably easier with base but for ubers/cabs, I didn’t use base.
