Help with buying new convertible carseat

[Amanda]

Hi

I am having trouble using the car seat Compatibility list. So i thought i would ask if anybody knows on here. My 8 month old son is too big for his carrier and i was thinking of buying the Combi Zeus Turn Convertible Car Seat. I drive a 2001 ford escape and i was wondering if anybody knows if that would fit in my car ? It would have to go on the right hand side behind the passenger seat as on the other seat i have a car seat for my two year old.

I appreciate any advice thanks

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.

	Combi - Click for more info Established in 1954, Combi quickly became Japan's premier supplier of Juvenile products. Their design philosophy is actually behind their name - COMBI is a contraction of the word "combination," which denotes "combination of parent and child." Combi has been supplying the US with innovative light weight strollers for 15 years. In 2003 they entered the US market with car seats built with the same design philosophy that has guided their company for years.

	Combi Zeus Turn - Click for more info The Combi Zeus is the only convertible car seat that rotates from rear to forward facing without ever having to re-install. The Combi Zeus' "Z-Turn" feature makes buckling a child in much, much easier, as you can turn the seat to face you and then rotate and lock it into either the forward or rear facing position. There are many convertible car seats available, but the Zeus from Combi is the only car seat for infants and toddlers that does not require re-installation when switching from the rear to forward facing positions.

hi there,
I was considering the same car seat as un upgrade to infant carrier for my 10 month old however I found that this car seat will be suitable only as a front driving due to low weigh limits (rf only up to 22 lbs). I really love that car seat for its estetic look and turnable option however I adjusted my mind to Britax Boulvard CC which has much higher limits (rf up to 35 lbs). BTW they are on sale right now almost everywhere on-line

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

	Infant Car Seats Infant-only rear-facing seats are for babies up to about 22 to 30 pounds, depending on the specific car seat. You will need a new seat when your child gets bigger. Infant-only seats have handles that allow you to move the seat from the car to the house or other locations. Some have a base that you can leave installed in the car, so you can just click the car seat into place each time you use it.
