Good seat, but heavy and a hard to get out of the base.December 29, 2008 Perks: Super cute Nice bar by the feet that makes carrying it easier Easy installation Easy strap adjustments Effortlessly falls and locks into the base
Not so perky: Seems really heavy, but I'm not sure how heavy other seats are Really hard to get out of the base
Love this Car Seat!December 23, 2008 We love this car seat!!! We got it earlier than promised, and are very satisfied with the product!
Great Car seatDecember 12, 2008 We bought this car seat for my first baby and he was just so tiny. He fit comfortably in this seat with the back adjusted to the smallest height. It is cushioned well and the padding on the seat belt part held his little neck perfectly. It is such a comfortable seat for him. The safety bar is an excellent feature. While talking with a car seat specialist at the hospital, she told me this was one of the best seats you can buy for safety because of that bar. While the child is in the seat you are also suppose to leave the handle up on this seat. I couldnt find the instructions manual on this seat when it came to my house...but after searching this seat, it is located on the back under the canopy...A convenient little pocket for the manual in case you should ever need it. The only thing I absolutely hate about this seat is the canopy. It does not stay up. Every time I carry my baby anywhere in this, it always falls down. Sun, rain, snow..you name it, it gets in his eyes. This seat would be perfect if the canopy would stay up. Everybody always complements me on how nice it looks. It snaps in easily to the base and is easy to get out.
Okay but has some problemsDecember 8, 2008 Let me first say that this is my first carseat (only 1 child so far) so I don't have anything to compare it with.
Pros: I love the design and style. Lightweight (but like other reviews, I dont know if it's that light). I like the rebound bar.
Cons: It is very hard to get out of the base. It is hard to get the handle up and down. The sun shade is a bit flimsy. The carseat doesn't fit in a shopping cart. A few times it clicked into the base but later I found it really wasn't latched in correctly.
When I purchased this carseat there were no reviews. When I decided to give it my own review I was surprised by all the descent reviews because I thought this product wasn't that great. But then again this is also my first infant carseat. If I had to buy another car seat, I might check other ones out before I settled with a combi again.
Good Car seatNovember 10, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really like this lightweight car seat. Before buying this, we shopped around quite a bit. We also read several reviews about this car seat and we thought we took a bit of a risk by purchasing this as in majority of reviews it said that it's hard to get the car seat out of the base. Initially, it was difficult for us as well but by applying WD-40 near the pulling latch, it became really easy to un-latch it. It was a relief that it became loose and my wife was able to get it out the base without stuggling.
I strongly recommend people to buy this and also have WD-40 handy. You won't be disappointed.
