combi infant car seat manualStore in the pocket at the back of the infant car seat.Thank you, for helping us keep this platform clean. The editors will have a look at it as soon as possible. It is a convertible seat that can be used rear or forward facing for children 5-40 lbs who are less than 40 inches tall. Rear facing, the seat is rated from 5-33 lbs with a stated height limit of 36 inches. Forward facing, it can be used for children over 1 year old who weigh between 20 and 40 lbs. The lack of a base makes it is a good candidate to fit in even the smallest of vehicles. It is well padded with a thick foam wedge that goes behind the child. It makes a significant difference in fit. Combi calls it the Mommy’s Lap Insert to emphasize the cozy way it surrounds the child. It is secured by a cord that is tied through the upper harness slots. It also has two storage pockets- one on the side for the lower anchor strap and one on the back for the tether, rear facing lock-off, and manual. It has a thick tummy pad that goes around the crotch buckle and long harness pads for over the shoulders. The cover can be machine washed on gentle cycle.Any slot may be used for rear facing. Only the top two can be used for forward facing. The five-point harness has terminal ends (non-continuous loop). There are two sets of rear loops and the splitter plate came on the upper loop for smaller children. The webbing seems to be thick and non-twisty. There are plastic buttons on the lower portion so the buckle tongues won’t slide all the way down. The chest clip is IMMI style. The harness can be cleaned with mild soap and a damp rag, but cannot be removed without a screwdriver. However, the infant insert takes up several inches of that. It is located under the front flap of the cover. It is a single pull adjuster. You press the lever back toward the child to release the adjuster. The end of the adjuster strap snaps to the cover so it doesn’t swing loose. It is a separate piece that snaps onto the seatbelt.http://backkwang.com/userData/board/escali-kitchen-scale-manual.xml

There are integrated lock-offs for forward facing. They are slot style with a hinged tab. There are also belt guides on the back of the seat for optional Euro-style routing of the shoulder belt for rear facing installations. Instead of having both the shoulder and lap portion through the beltpath, you can wrap the shoulder portion around the back. Per Combi, the European method of placing the shoulder belt behind the shell in the rear facing position allows for better ride-down during a crash. While there are no test standards for side impact crashes, we know they are some of the most dangerous. The Coccoro has deep side wings and the back of the shell is fully lined with EPS foam. There is a piece of EPP-like foam under the seating area, though that is likely more for comfort. Combi helps you along by making everything color coded- blue for rear facing and red for forward facing. There are also stickers with diagrams and instructions for each aspect of installation, including how to hook and remove LATCH connectors. Unless otherwise indicated by the vehicle manual, the vehicle seatback must be fully upright. They can only be used in dedicated positions with standard spacing. Borrowing of lower anchors is not allowed. The tether must be stored for rear facing. It is only for forward facing use and must be used for a forward facing lower anchor install. It is optional with a forward facing seatbelt install, though strongly encouraged. The harness needs to be at or below the child’s shoulders for rear facing. The seat is outgrown rear facing by weight at 33 lbs and by height when the child’s head is 1” from the top of the shell. The infant insert must be used for children under 15 lbs and may be used for children up to 20 lbs, or when the harness straps become too short. I confirmed with the Combi rep that while 45 degrees is required for infants, older children with good head control can be a bit more upright.http://www.ronjenner.nl/userfiles/escali-pr500s-manual.xml Older babies and toddlers can generally be as upright as 30 degrees (when measured from vertical). The appropriate angle should be easy to achieve by positioning in most vehicles due to the lack of a base. If necessary, a tightly rolled towel or blanket or firm piece of foam (such as a pool noodle) may be used to attain the proper rear facing angle. Take care when pushing down to tighten the LATCH strap or seatbelt. It is easy to change the angle by pushing down toward the front or back. However, it is also easy to inadvertently get it too upright or reclined by the same method. Provided the vehicle allows it, the shell of the Coccoro can touch the vehicle seat in front of it- as long as it isn’t wedged tight. There are two plastic hooks and a snap on each side the cover to aid in that. It is an open beltpath in that there are arms rather than closed slots- much like infant seats that can be installed without a base. For seatbelt installations, only the lap portion goes under the arms. Unhook the cover and pull back the flap. Follow the blue beltpaths. The lapbelt goes in front of the crotch buckle (farther from the child) and over the part of the cover that remains when the flap is folded back. If lapbelt only, tighten belt so that a secure installation is achieved. Check for tightness and replace cover flap. The manual encourages those users with locking latchplates to flip the male end 180 degrees if the lap portion is not staying tight (complete with illustration). Fasten the blue rear facing lock-off on the shoulder portion only with the arrow pointing down. Tighten the lap portion and slide the lock-off down until it is touching the latchplate. Route the shoulder portion behind the seat following the marked belt guides. The seatbelt goes over the near lower belt guide and through the far upper one. It is not necessary to switch a locking retractor to locked mode at this point, but it is acceptable. However, a locked shoulder belt may cause the rear facing Coccoro to tilt. If the shoulder belt is not long enough to route around the back of the shell, it may be left next to the vehicle seatback. The infant insert must not be used forward facing. Only the top two harness slots can be used. The harness should be at or above the child’s shoulders forward facing. It is outgrown forward facing by weight at 40 lbs or by height when either the tops of the child’s ears are above the top of the shell or the child’s shoulders are above the top harness position. Use the red beltpath. The red forward facing lock-off is built in, unlike the one for rear facing. It is slot style with a tab- much like the older (and preferred) Britax style. You push the red tab forward, slide the shoulder portion in and allow the tab to rotate back into position. It appears to hold the belt tightly and I wasn’t able to make it slip. As with rear facing, it is acceptable, but not necessary to lock a shoulder retractor in addition to using the lock-off. To ensure the appropriate angle, both rear facing beltguides must be touching the vehicle seatback. It seems to fit small babies well. It would make a great travel seat or alternative to an infant bucket. Combi marketing proudly proclaims that you can fit three across in most vehicles. I don’t doubt this. However, that’s not really practical application. Most families needing to fit three passengers in a row don’t have three children small enough to ride in the Coccoro. More importantly- how does the Coccoro fit next to other common seats? What’s more, I can fit it next to a forward facing Marathon. In a pinch, I could install it between two forward facing Marathons (with less than an inch to spare). In place of the second Marathon, a forward facing Scenera or Fisher Price Safe Voyage Booster fit even better. Though it may seem unimpressive in many vehicles, this is truly a glowing review. The only seat I’ve been able to fit rear facing so far in my center position is a Chicco Keyfit. That’s a great seat in its own right, though not as versatile as a convertible. Again, that is absolutely amazing in that no other convertible can claim that. I imagine that without a base, it will fit well in the highly sculpted seats of many two door vehicles. The Coccoro fits her well, both with and without the insert. She has about 6 inches of growing room before it is outgrown rear facing by height. Although the manual encourages extended rear facing, I think it may be pushing it to get most children to the new recommended minimum of two years. The 33 lb limit is a bit behind the rest of the market, but I find it adequate given that most children will reach the height limit first. He is thin, but average height at 41” with an estimated torso height of 15”. He just squeaks in under the 35 lb limit of most other convertibles, so he’s outgrown it forward facing when he could still technically be rear facing in a convertible with a taller shell. I might even be tempted to use the separate rear facing lock-off with other seats. Okay, not really, but I do like it. You just buckle the seatbelt, clip on the lock-off, pull the lap portion tight and slide the lock-off down. In terms of necessary coordination, it’s much easier than a true locking clip or the Britax and Recaro rear facing lock-offs (though doesn’t quite match that of the Keyfit base). I like the forward facing one in that it’s similar to the old style Britax, but appears to be reliably functional, unlike the current Recaro version. I’ve heard that the upper blue belt guides also function as lock-offs. However, the manual does not indicate this in any way and my observation is that the belt slides freely within them. It easily pulls to the proper tightness with a single tug. Although the lever says PRESS and is the same action as required by my infant seat, I intuitively want to pull to release. I think that’s due to the curved and slanted shape of the lever. It includes important points such as several statements encouraging extended rear facing and a note about not using cargo hooks as tether anchors unless the vehicle specifically allows it. It also has illustrations correct harness placement on the splitter plate, flipping a locking latchplate, and testing for movement when installing. As I mentioned above, it will be outgrown long before most other convertibles. The harness covers seem to be a couple inches too long. There is just barely enough room for the chest clip to be properly positioned beneath them on my 95th percentile 3 month old. I’m not sure if they would fit on a tiny newborn. The cover has a noticeable chemical smell that is still going strong 7 days out of the box. Luckily, it can be machine washed, which is my next order of business before I ride next to it for 700 miles. I imagine it might possibly interfere in some tight side by side installations. I would prefer a quicker install and release method for the infant insert. Webbing with plastic buckles or an elasticized loop and toggle system would make more sense than a cord that you tie. The cover wrinkles in a weird way each time I have to fold it up to access the rear facing beltpath (which I can see becoming tiresome as well). I’m afraid after too many more installations it won’t smooth back out. That being said, I think I prefer the open beltpath to squeezing my hand through a narrow, closed one. That routing is optional, but I see it as a safety feature. We know that anything that limits side to side movement offers an improvement in safety- particularly in side impacts. It also offers a benefit in reducing downward rotation in the more common frontal impacts. While that’s a neat concept (and likely much more affordable than the Orbit toddler system), I can’t imagine repeatedly installing and uninstalling with a child buckled in. Again, the Euro routing makes it a bit tricky. It takes every bit of my center shoulder belt, which means the ALR is engaged and it can be somewhat difficult to uninstall the seat. The manual says to push down on the front of the seat to uninstall. I can see myself flipping my infant on her face while trying to remove the seat. It would probably be a bit easier with LATCH or even leaving the shoulder belt in front, but I like the idea of the seatbelt routed behind. However, unless you are planning to use two convertibles for one child in order to achieve extended rear facing, the Coccoro is probably not a practical option. Overall, I’m pleased with my purchase. It is now the primary seat for my infant daughter and I can’t wait to take it on trips with us. It’s definitely a niche seat, but it fills that niche very well. It is made in China, has a 7 year expiration period, and follows NHTSA’s guidelines for crashed restraint replacement.I love this seat! My almost 3 year old daughter still fits comfortably in her seat. These are the only seats we can fit into my Saturn Outlook with all the car seats we already have. We have had a Coccoro since our now 2.5 year old son was 3 months old and we LOVE it! After combing through many carseat reviews here on carseatblog.com I was able to make a confident and informed decision. I am so happy with my purchase, thank you so much Crunchy!! However, my daughter HATED the car and always cried the entire time, so if she had been like other babies and fallen asleep in the car, I might have been more tempted to actually take the infant carrier out.Thanks for taking so many without the cover on:). Great review! I drive a 2009 Honda Fit Sport and my 4 month old son hit the 18lb mark and no longer could fit his Graco Snugride comfortably. We initially opted for the myride 65 since it allows rear facing until 40lbs. The issue is that the MyRide was waaay to big for the Fit. It torqued at an angle no matter how hard we tried. Also; it was a nightmare getting him through the door frame past the high winged side of the The MyRide without nearly having to toss him into it. The Coccoro fits wonderfully. I can easily get him in and out and the seat is secure. The front passenger can still have legroom and a bit of a recline as well. I am taking it to have the fire department check it next week but I feel secure with the installation. I agree that the rear facing belt path takes a moment to figure out. As for the MyRide, we are going to use it in the back seat of my husbands truck where the only issue is how high up the seat will then be. All in all if you drive a Honda Fit or other very compact car- The Combi Coccoro is the greatest seat available. After I get my Coccoro, I’ll let you all know how I like it from experience! There was a short time when I first had the seat when it had me shaking my fist, but I quickly got used to it. I don’t think it’s difficult at all. It just took a little while to get used to putting the two halves together before buckling. It helps to do the chest clip first, which is opposite of my usual seat buckling routine. There is a stated overall height limit because FMVSS 213 requires one. However, children grow in different proportions and at widely varied rates. As I noted above, the Coccoro is outgrown rear facing by height when the child’s head is 1” from the top of the shell. Torso length seems so much more important than overall height. Thanks. The GN converts to a booster. Thank you so much! Great review, thank you! I’ll be sure to put this in my faves and link to it often ?? Now I know! Thanks again!

Harris 2.0 out of 5 stars In my husband's car 3 convertible carseats do fit 3 across(the combi, a safety 1st and a cosco). I have not tried 3 across in the 3rd row of my minivan yet. A year in I am disappointed that the Styrofoam under the car seat cover is broken through normal use. We have not been in any car accidents.I took the cover off to wash it and bits of Styrofoam came out. This isn't the most expensive of car seats but it definitely isn't the cheapest either so I am very disappointed.We tried at least 10 and this was the only one to fit in my convertible that my son was dying to ride in. For any one searching for a Ferrari car seat it works. Should work in other small exotics too.My husband and I do not like the infant bucket car seats for various reasons, so we used convertible seats for both of our children from day one. With our first daughter we used Evenflo Symphony seats in both of our cars. Those worked well (and still do 3.5 years later), but I felt we could get something a little better at supporting a newborn this time around. Plus, we needed something that would work in my husband’s Chevy extended cab truck, which we didn’t have when our first was a baby, as well as my car, a Toyota Avalon. I spent way too much time researching various options, but I am so happy to have purchased the Coccoro. This review is from the perspective of using the seat rear facing with a newborn. We have had it for 3 months, so I will update this if anything changes as our baby grows. Fit: This seat fits great, even in the truck. Our older daughter’s Evenflo is front facing in the rear middle seat of my husband’s truck, and the baby’s Coccoro is in the passenger rear seat. Since the seat is rear facing, we do have to pull up the front passenger seat more than we typically would if the car seat wasn’t behind it, but I can still ride there without issue. I am 5’6”, and even my 6’3” husband can squeeze in the front passenger seat if he needs too. We also still have room for one more person, or even another narrow car seat, in the rear driver side seat (although I’ll admit, it’s a bit of a tight fit if to sit back there). We have the same set up in my car, and there is plenty of room for another person or car seat in the back seat. Installation: I read quite a few car seat blog reviews and found some helpful tips for installing the Coccoro, but the most helpful of all was a video on YouTube by TheCarSeatLady. We use a rolled towel in both the truck and car to help with the angle. In the truck we have the seat installed with a seatbelt, and we use the blue locking clip that came with the Coccoro. The seat feels completely tight and secure. In the car, we use the latch system and also were able to get the seat perfectly tight. We followed the CarSeatLady’s tip of standing behind the seat and pushing it into the seat with your hips while tightening the seatbelt or latch system. That really does help. We have also had the seat in a Toyota Camry while on a trip, and it worked just as well in that car. Newborn support: The angle of the seat is perfect for a newborn or small infant who doesn’t have head control. I’ve never had to worry about her chin being compressed to her chest. The seat comes with an infant support insert that you must use for babies 25 pounds or less. Our daughter seems comfortable and happy, and I like that she is safely supported. Harness: We used the lowest setting until she was about 2.5 months old, and then we moved the straps up one level. So far, we haven’t had any problems tightening or loosening the straps. To adjust the straps, you must manually rethread them, but this is really not a big deal unless you’re trying to adjust them frequently for multiple-sized children. Fabric: So far, so good. But then again, our baby is still very little. We have the red one in my car and black one in the truck. Aesthetically, I like the red, but the black fabric is probably better at hiding dirt and grime. The texture of the fabric makes me think it could probably snag easily, but so far we haven’t had any snags. We’ve had to wash the pads several times already due to diaper blowouts, and the fabric still looks great. Buckle: We haven’t had any trouble with the puzzle buckle. It is easy to piece together, and it feels very secure. There is a pad behind the buckle that we appreciate. It’s quite different from the Evenflo Symphony which has a tendency to poke into our older daughter’s belly if we don’t adjust it just right. With the Coccoro, we don’t have to worry about the buckle being in an uncomfortable position. Cons: The only negative is the pads that come on the straps. They are a bit long if you want to use them for a newborn because the length makes it hard to get the chest buckle at armpit height. If you want to wash them (because you have a baby who spits up all the time, like we do), you have to unthread the straps to get the pads off. I ended up replacing the covers with some removable ones that are shorter in length so the chest buckle can sit where it’s supposed to, and now it’s also easier to wash them. Yes, I know you really aren’t supposed to use “after market” items on your car seat, but I don’t see the issue of replacing existing strap covers with something that performs the same function.This is similar to Swedish car seats and helps you get an extra secure install of the seat - mine is rock solid in the car which is one of the key safety elements to get right. This also means it's curved base is really helpful, it allows you to choose the preferred recline angle (more upright for older toddlers) and then easily lock it in between the latch system and the rear facing tether. This is the most compact car seat I have tried of multiple (Graco, Britax, Sonus etc). It could fit in the back of our Chevrolet Volt (a small back seat) and still allow a 6ft person to sit in front of it. It's also easy to access in terms of getting our boy in and out and he finds it comfortable and cosy with no complaints. Also great for airplane travel due its lightweight and compact size. This seat's only weakness is that it will probably only last until 2-2.5 years old depending on the child's height which is what allows it to be so compact. For us it was worth it (much cheaper than buying a larger car) and gets him to a point where forward facing is less risky if not ideal. Highly recommended for small cars. If you have a large car then something like a Graco Extend2Fit has a much longer rear facing lifespan.Buuuut, i think if all three were Combi they would fit. Buuuut, my kids wouldn’t all fit in the Combis. It only holds kids up to 40 lbs. To sum up, if you have 3 very small kids and a Honda Odyssey, and like 800 bucks to spend on car seats, you’re in luck. The baby seems comfortable and the teenagers can sit comfortably next to the Combi. This weekend I fit 3 teens, and this car seat, and a four year old in a different car seat into the Rubber Van. I do not like how you have to put the two clips together first to lock them into the crotch strap. That’s a pain. I love the soft padding and baby sleeps in here (she didn’t sleep in her bucket car seat very much). I bought the Black and Tan one and it looks sharp. Also, i like how trim it is. I ended up installing it in the center jump seat. I can easily slide either side seat forward to load kids into the back row, because the Combi is so trim. Is it perfect? It’s pretty close. I’m happy.When we needed a second one, we thought we'd stay with this product. It's compactness is important to us and it worked really well for air travel, too. We've got them side-by-side now in our compact vehicle; they look and work great!In order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading.

You can call the respective companies to get a tether connector strap for the seat if you have an older model that didn’t come with one. 2. Do NOT tether any other rear-facing seat except the ones listed above. Other seats were not designed to do this, and doing so could injure the child in a crash. 3. If your seat allows rear-facing tethering DO IT. While rear-facing tethering is optional on the above seats, it is a GREAT option and you should take advantage of it whenever possible as it acts as an anti-rebound device to eliminate the motion of the car seat towards the back of the vehicle. In light of the above, we want to clarify that the rear-facing tether should be used whenever possible on these seats. But, don’t take our word for it, here’s what the manufacturers say in their instruction manuals: Britax: Rear-facing installations can be improved by the use of the versa-Tether Combi: Top tether use is recommended for rear-facing when possible Diono: Stability of installation can be improved by using top tether Peg Perego: Peg Perego always recommends using the rear facing tether if the vehicle has the proper anchor point. The tether can prevent excessive rotation in rear facing mode in both frontal and rear end crashes. If you are using the lower anchors, you should use the rear-facing tether too. If you are using the seat belt, you should use the rear-facing tether too. 4. Does your car have a rear-facing tether anchor. Likely no! Can you still tether a rear-facing seat in your car. Likely yes! Volvos are the only cars that come with rear-facing tether anchors; after all, tethering down to the floor of the car is known as “Swedish-style” tethering and Volvo’s are Swedish cars. You will use this strap to create a rear-facing tether anchor. For Combi seats, order online here. The rear-facing tether needs to be attached to something that is metal and part of the structural frame of the car. The track for the front seat is typically the best (and only) acceptable location. Note: you don’t want to tether to the front seat itself, but rather the track for the front seat. You will select the track that is closest to the car seat. For a car seat in the center, choose the inner seat track for either front seat. For a car seat on the passenger side, choose either the inner or outer seat track for the front passenger seat. For a car seat on the driver side, choose the inner or outer seat track for the driver’s seat. This video here shows how to set up for a Swedish-style (down to the floor of the car) rear-facing tether. While the video shows a Diono seat, the set up is the same for all US seats that allow Swedish-style rear-facing tethering. Step-by-step guide to installing a car seat with a rear-facing tether: Move the front seat up all the way — don’t worry, you’ll be able to move the front seat back when you’re done. Many seat tracks have a cosmetic plastic cap on the end. It is typically helpful to remove this plastic cap to allow the tether connector strap to slide as far back on the seat track as possible, which in turn will allow the front seat to come as far back when you are done. Removing the plastic cap typically requires some brute force. You’ll be able to put the plastic cap back on when the child goes forward-facing. That’s it! Now you have a rear-facing tether anchor. Install the child’s car seat using either the seat belt or the lower anchors (whichever is appropriate for where you are installing the seat). Connect the hook on the tether strap to the metal end on the tether connector strap. Book Appointment.
