Combi Shuttle 33 Infant Car Seat, Sand

Our baby hasn't arrived yet, so I will update this review when we can actually put this seat to use, but so far, we love it!

I spent a great deal of time researching car seats, as safety, comfort, style, and size were all HUGE issues with us. Finally settled on the Combi Shuttle due to it's safety ratings and overall features. Then, they came out with the Shuttle 33, which made our decision even tougher. We really wanted to be able to use the infant seat for the full first year of our babes life, so the fact that we can go up to 33 inches and 33 pounds was an awesome feature. We figured that the extra pound of car seat weight was worthwhile.

3. When taking our baby out, his feet get caught under the rebound bar, a couple of times hard enough to make him cry in pain
4. The buckle is a "puzzle buckle" and let's just say it makes me want to throw the seat in the river.
5. The way it works with the matching stroller is insane...poor design makes it hard to get in and out of the locking mechanism
6. See #5 for the base, too...Clicks into base just fine but getting it out is like unscrewing a medicine bottle...push down while simultaneously pulling up
7. Our sunshade broke almost immediately on one side. We still use it, but it's now lopsided like someone sat on it.

I do have one good thing to say...the...Read more
