Great car seat for 6 months and up July 23, 2010
ddlj81
This has been a perfect upgrade to our regular rear facing car seat that served its purpose for 7 months. Firstly before all the great things about this seat, I must mention a few facts about this seat.
1. There is no recline position for rear facing. Two recline positions for front facing.
2. This is a fixed car seat (you cannot take the baby with the car seat out for eg. to a shopping mall in a cart). Hence, for infants who cannot yet sit (on a cart in a mall or a stroller -- less than 6 months) you should prefer a regular rear facing infant car seat that can be carried with you.
Now to some of the real nice aspects:
1. As everyone has told, absolutely great to side face the seat for placing and lifting up your baby. Perfect, when the baby is fallen asleep and needs to be placed without any disturbance (or taken out). Again some facts to add to this point --- The rotation of the seat is only possible when the seat is erect (which is also the case when the seat faces rear). So if the seat is facing rear and you wish to rotate it (to the side or front), then its already in the right position to rotate and it requires only the use of a single lever. However if the seat is front facing (this means its not erect and is at the one of two other inclined positions), then rotating it to the side requires first to unlock one switch, and then use the lever to push up the seat to the erect position and then to rotate. Also, the locking of the seat is only in the front or in the rear position. The seat automatically locks in the rear position. For the front position it requires a little downward thrust (but hardly a problem).
2. Very high seat, I installed this on my Nissan Murano on the window side rear to the front passenger seat. The motivation to install it near the window and not at the center was the high seat. The baby happily is able to view outside the window and also a little (in case of a suv) through the glass at the rear trunk. So this is really awesome.
3. There is plenty of room (and much much more compared to my regular rear facing seat) for the front passenger seat to come all the way back and also recline himself/herself. In my older regular rear facing seat (a Graco), when I reclined the front seat, it used to hit the car seat very quickly.
4. The seat is very comfortable for the kid. There is padding on top of the buckle which is great and also on the shoulder straps. There is great head rest. The infant car insert should provide even more comfort.
5. The straps will never get entangled, and is easy to use.
Cons:
1. There is a weight limitation of 40 lbs and 40 inches height to which this seat be used. So if you have a very tall kid who you think might grow taller than 40 inches before reaching 40 pounds, then it might be a problem. Once 40 lbs or 4 yrs, the law says that you can shift him to a booster ([...]) . So the weight is never an issue.

While looking for a carseat for our 8 month old, I read many reviews, did research and concluded this was the seat for us. The seat arrived earlier than expected and when I ripped open the box to see it, I was absolutely thrilled! The seat is not only beautiful, compared to many others I looked at, it's functional and easy to use. The material is gorgeous, great quality and cozy for my little person. Some reviews said it was hard to install and difficult to use - I put it in our car on my own with no problems. The seat is heavy, but considering you won't be moving it often, it doesn't seem like an issue. We have a rather small vehicle - 2008 Nissan Sentra - the seat fits just fine. Our daughter loves how tall the seat is, because she can see out of the windows. Mommy and daddy love the seat because it's much easier on our backs putting her in/taking her out every day. I must say - this is worth the money. I'm particular about items like these, but Combi did a super job with the Zeus 360. Yaaaay!

Well, it said that we could use the carseat from newborn to toddler. But the truth is that the vertical format of the seat while backward is uncomfortable for the newborn... I have to always be checking my baby's head that leans foward, since the seat is so straight up and their is no possibility if reclining it when its facing backward. I'm sure it will be great once i turn it foward, since I love the convenience of the rotation and its hight for the child to look out the window. Another problem is that while facing back its soo high that I haven't found a good mirror so I can monitor my child. I'm 50/ 50 on this one.
Great Seat for Toddler and Mom! May 26, 2010

I bought this seat because I was having a rough time twisting my body trying to put my 1 year old in his car seat. I am short, so it was difficult lifting my son sideways into his seat. With this car seat, It's so easy to make the seat face me and then seat my baby. I only wish that once in the sideways position, it would lock in that position. Sometimes it twists a little trying to go back to rear facing, but it's a minor con to the fabulous seat filled with pros!
The seat is taller and higher than most, which is great for my son, who can check out the cars and road. Again, because I'm short, the seat does block my view a little, but I have learned to use my mirrors better.
When my little one has tantrum and doesn't want to get in the car seat, the sideways position makes it so much easier to have control and sit him down! The seat is so roomy and my son is very comfortable in it.
I absolutely love this this seat! It's been good to us so far! I was so glad to save $72 dollars on Amazon compared to regular retail stores! I chose the free super saver shipping, which I think is 5-9 days, but it arrived in 3!
I would definitely recommend this seat to everyone! Love it, Love it, Love it!
