The word that we are getting about the comfort of the Combi car seat is nothing but good. Combi understands that if babies are not happy riding in their safety seats, that the chances are slim to none that anyone else riding in the car is going to enjoy the ride. When I shop for baby car seats, I pay close attention to details like that.
If I see where a manufacturer tries to sneak little things by me, I wonder where else they have cut corners. No single baby car seat is going to suit everybody because of colors, style and sizes. The make and model of the vehicle that the seat is installed in will make a difference in how well you like a particular seat as well. But the one thing every parent agrees on is safety. Every mom wants to feel that her baby is safe and secure if the worst should happen.
Here are some consumer opinion pros and cons of the Combi car seat:
POSITIVES
Well padded where it counts
The car seat is not too heavy even though it’s heavily padded
Base includes a locking clip which makes it very easy to install
The tall shell of the Tyro will make for longer use.
NEGATIVE COMMENTS
Even thought the Combi car seat is rather narrow in size, the stroller attachments on the sides extend far enough that it makes fitting another car seat alongside it difficult.
It’s tricky to unlatch it from the base at times
Deteriorated foam padding
One of the main things that parents seem to like in the Combi car seat is the thick, comfortable padding. Why some manufacturers skimp on padding in their infant car seats makes me wonder if they are taking advantage of the fact that when a baby is crying and miserable that they can’t tell mom or dad what’s bothering them.
For the sake of saving a few dollars on foam padding, they are losing out in the consumer reviews that I’ve been reading. However, there have been some complaints that all that luxurious, comfortable padding deteriorates. It’s expected that this happens to all cushions over time, but it has been written in the consumer reports that the pads were crumbling when their Combi car seat was delivered and that the first time their newborn rode in the seat that the dust got all over their baby.
Every infant safety seat will have its positives and negatives. With study of consumer reports and consideration of the features, you can make an informed decision on which is the best, high rated baby seat for your child.
