Chabert lives in Southern California, where she moved with her family in 1994 when she began work on Party of Five. Lacey was "World's Baby Petite" in the "World's Our Little Miss Scholarship Competition" of 1985.

Chabert made her start as young Cosette in Les Misérables on Broadway. Chabert was a member of the Broadway Kids which included Christy Carlson Romano, Chris Trousdale, Eden Riegel, and Greg Raposo. She was originally selected to play the role of "Young Lily" in the movie Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991), but withdrew for unknown reasons. Chabert then landed the role of Bianca Montgomery on the ABC soap opera All My Children in 1993. Chabert became famous for her role as Claudia Salinger in the TV drama Party of Five, "I had to go through everything on that show — my first kiss, my first bra. I was 11 when it started," she said. She gained fame for her portrayal of Penny Robinson in the 1998 Lost in Space (film), based on the 1960s television show. Chabert played in Hometown Legend as Rachel Sawyer.
Since 1998, she has been the voice of Eliza Thornberry in the animated series The Wild Thornberrys, and has voiced Eliza in two movies, The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) and Rugrats Go Wild! (2003).

She starred in Mean Girls (2004) and the made for TV movie Hello Sister, Goodbye Life (2006) on ABC Family. She appeared in a 2006 remake of Black Christmas. She appeared in an episode of Ghost Whisperer opposite former Po5 costar Jennifer Love Hewitt, portraying a woman who looked like Melinda as a nod to fans who occasionally confuse the two stars. She performed the voice of Princess Elise from the game Sonic the Hedgehog for the PS3 and Xbox 360. She provides Gwen Stacy's voice in the animated series The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Chabert won the 2005 MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Team for Mean Girls, shared with Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Amanda Seyfried.
