Combi Dakota Backless Booster Seat Pewter

I bought the 2006 model of the Combi Dakota, and I love it. I gave it to the in-laws so they would have a booster seat to chauffeur the little one around, and they love it. My father-in-law was actually gushing about how easy it was to install and use (my father-in-law does not pay compliments lightly). You can quickly and easily adjust the shoulder belt with this seat. The shoulder belt adjuster pulls the shoulder belt down a couple of inches so that it fits over your child's shoulder and not over your child's throat. The 2006 model has a really nice plastic fold-and-lock clamp with a cord that can be adjusted by pressing a single button. Just press the button, slide the adjuster up or down the cord, release, and you're done (the child can be in the seat when you do this). The cord can be moved to the left or right side of the booster seat (unsnap the cover, move the cord, re-snap the cover).

Most booster seats are very wide in the back. Not this one, it tappers to the back making it well over an inch narrower in the back then other seats. This makes it possible to put three booster seats next to one another, and the three kids can all buckle themselves. With other booster seats, the back edge of the booster seat ends up over the top of the seat bucket, and/or the kids can't get their hands between the booster seats to buckle themselves. This booster seat works between two regular car seats, and the child can still buckle them self. If you have to put a lot of kids in one car, this is the booster seat to get.

I bought this seat for my daughter in light blue....it was filthy yesterday, but with a little soap scrub and a cold water wash in the machine it is really clean...no more dirt! My model has the webbing strap and plastic selt belt adjuster. I really like how it holds the seat belt in the correct position across my daughter's chest. It is no more difficult than adjusting the straps on a backpack. I was planning to update to another booster that works with my car's LATCH system, but realized it would be a pain if you need to move the seats around or if you have a car that you need to access a third row of seats by folding forward the second row. The Combi seat stays in place, and it is easy to move or take with you.
