Combi Shuttle 33 Infant Car Seat - Wasabi Noche

Comments about Combi International Combi Shuttle 33 Infant Car Seat - Wasabi Noche:

I have a graco carseat to compare to and these are the differences. This car seat is great if you have a small car. It's also much lighter than the graco. However, like the other reviews said, the lower latch is difficult to get on. Also, removing the carseat from the base can be difficult at times. It has taken some getting used to. It is very difficult to adjust the straps with the child buckled in, the button on the bottom doesn't work very easily like the one in the graco. Removing the padding is faily simple and comes back on perfectly.

the harness gets stuck when you are trying to un buckle the baby, the handle locks up and is hard to adjust also the seat gets stuck to the base, and my 2 month old gets her feet stuck on the lower bar when we are trying to remove her.
The reason i bought this seat was because it was the only seat that works with my combi twin stroller, I love the stroller, I hate how the seat attaches, or doesn't I just don't feel like the seat is secure,.

We have been using this carseat for almost a year now and have had no problems. Overall I love this carseat. It was easy to install. Adjustments are easy to make and I like that you can raise the entire back as they grow. My son has taken several long distance car rides (4-5 hours) in this seat comfortably. We were in a minor car accident (hit from behind at slow speed) and my son didn't even know anything had happened. The harness is sometimes difficult to latch but quickly became second nature. This carseat does not nest into a shopping cart but this has not been a major drawback for me. We also have the coordinating stroller and have enjoyed it as well. We anticipate using this same carseat for our next baby without hesitation.

This car seat is great! We initially bought this car seat because it fits in the back of my small call with no problems. My son is now 8 months old and we've been using this car seat since we took him home from the hospital. The car seat base is easy to move from car to car if you need to. The car seat itself latches to the base with no problems. We've gone on 2 12+ hour long car trips and he was very comfortable the whole time. It also states that it can hold a child up to 33 inches, which most only hold 30 inches. My son is now almost 29 inches and 19lbs and still fits in the seat great! We've taken off the fabric twice now because of "accidents" and have had no problem putting it back together. Even the "safety bar" on the seat has come to be a toy for my son and he loves to put his feet on it!

The seats are great but I had alot of trouble getting them and I was charged two times ea. for two seats for our twins. On the phone for over 1 hour to get the charge off of my card. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.

This is a great looking carseat, and I believe it's very safe - we bought it based on Consumer Reviews - but unfortunately it is the most unadaptable of carseats. It has been such a huge disappointment for us. We cannot buy adapters for the City Jogger or the BOB. It also doesn't fit into other basic snap-n-go strollers, so you have to always buy only Combi products. If you are willing to go Combi whole-hog, buy the carseat, but I would recommend choosing another brand that will give you a lot more flexibility. Also, we find buckling it much more difficult than friends' Graco carseats.

I am due in about a week, so I have yet to actually use the car seat. However, I did take it by a police station to ensure that I had installed it correctly...I hadn't! The manual was difficult to understand and as a result I had the car seat in there completely wrong!! Make sure you double check with a certified car seat inspection person!!!! After we got it in there, everything looked great and felt solid (I have the LATCH system in my car). It was a challenge to find a jogging stroller that would accommodate this car seat, but I found one...it barely fits in there! I bought the InStep Safari Jogging stroller and the car seat fits on top and then is strapped down...tight fit, but she will be secure.

Not overly baby-ified, sturdy design. I like the sunshade- its crisp and of good quality. Also the anti-rebound bar is nice and makes lifting more balanced. Snaps in very easily to the matching stroller. Using this for my newborn.

We really like the way this car seat looks and works with our Combi Stroller. I also like the front rebound bar, it makes it easier to carry. I would have to say it is hard to buckle the lower buckle though. You have to put two pieces together, hold them just right and buckle it. This can be difficult even without a squirmy baby. If I had known how hard it was to buckle I would have likely purchased another car seat. I would have expected it to be a little easier considering the price.

Very lightweight which is great. Love the color and pattern. Easy to install seat base. Works great with the matching stroller.
That said, there are some aspects that are not the best. You have to put the two parts of the buckle together before inserting into the latch between the baby's legs which is difficult to accomplish. Also when you loosen the straps to get the baby in, they sometimes get caught on the headrest adjuster dial in the back when you try to tighten them up for travel.
