Combi Coccoro Lightweight Convertible Car Seat was designed by a person with a very small car so this car seat is great for all kinds of vehicles. We were able to fit into our car easily on multiple positins. It save a lot of space and this is a great bonus, as always. It has some great safety features we will mention more about in short and it is pretty comfortable. The installation process was really easy and keeping Combi Coccoro Lightweight Convertible Car Seat clean is really easy.

Combi Coccoro Lightweight Convertible Car Seat Weight: 11 pounds

The Coccoro is designed to fit babies 5-33 lbs rear-facing and 20-40 lbs forward-facing. It fit my 19.5” 8 lb infant very well with the infant padding (required until 15 lbs, allowed until 20). The infant padding is very substantial and changes the whole inside shape of the seat making it fit small babies very well.

This seat installed well in all the vehicles that I was able to install it in with LATCH where allowed, and the seatbelt. The LATCH install is quite easy, though it has the standard, hook-style lower LATCH connectors. The seatbelt install isn’t hard, although you have to pull back the cover to thread the seatbelt. It has an “open” rear-facing belt path which allows the shoulder belt to not be routed through the path eliminating the tipping that many convertibles have. The forward-facing install was similar to any other convertible except that there is no “prop” or base and there is a built in lockoff for a lap/shoulder belt install. The tether is only for use forward-facing.

What we liked about Combi Coccoro Lightweight Convertible Car Seat

The Combi Coccoro Lightweight Convertible Car Seatis a great seat for newborns to use to skip the infant seat. Fits small babies nicely and will last longer than any infant seat.
This seat is great for anyone trying to fit three seat across and/or fit a seat rear-facing in a vehicle without much leg room or a tall front driver/passenger.
This seat feels substantial and well-made, not flimsy or cheap at all.
I love the colors. It’s nice to have something besides black, grey, tan, and pink.
The instruction manual is excellent and stresses over and over the importance of rear-facing, correct installation, and other things that many other manuals seem to inadequately cover.

What we didn’t like about Combi Coccoro Lightweight Convertible Car Seat

The puzzle buckle is a frustration for me. Not as bad as others I have used, but frustrating none the less.
Light mesh fabric. After two days of use for my toddler there was some light snagging where his feet hit when rear-facing.

Customers feedback on Combi Coccoro Lightweight Convertible Car Seat

”This is an excellent car seat. I have a Prius – and a Britax frontier booster for my older son occupying half of the back seat. The Cocorro seat is so compact, and really very sturdy. It was tricky to tighten it at first – so I took the car and seat to the fire dept. and the lovely fireman showed me how easy it was to properly tighten the seat….” Elliene Forman

”We got this car seat because we are expecting Baby #2 any day now, but Baby #1 still has to be rear facing as well. We have a Honda CRV and needed a more compact car seat than the Alpha Omega Elite that we were using for our firstborn.” Brett Amos

”My 3rd child outgrew his Combi travel carrier so he is now in this convertible seat rear-facing. I can fit this, a booster seat, and another convertible carseat in the back of my Audi A4. The demo shows how 3 of these fit well in a compact car, and I believe it. I’m buying 2 more…”
