Need help with Combi Zeus Turn

[scnkm]

Does anyone have one of these? I think they are new, but was wondering if anyone had one or had any information on it. They look very user friendly and safe but I cannot seem to find any information on any Combi car seats on any parent forums or review sites.

Any information you can provide would be helpful.

My daughter is 6 months, but 26 inches and 20 lbs. Her feet are almost past the end of her Graco Snugride.

The Zeus only RF to 22 pounds and FF to 40 pounds. Combi missed the mark with that seat.

Feet being past the edge of a seat does NOT mean it's outgrown. When the top of her head has less than 1 inch between it and the top of the shell, she's too tall for it.

Children should remain RF as long as possible---up to 35 pounds in some seats.

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.

The Zeus is a BRAND new seat, but as Susan said, it will only harness to 40lbs...HUGE price for such a short lived seat, in my opinion.

for $300, I would recommend the Britax or recaro convertibles over the Combi due to the harness weights.

Wow they really missed the mark! I was curious about this seat. One-time installation seems so much safer, especially for me since my daughter (17 months, 26lbs) hates to RF so I reinstall my Marathon RF every time she is asleep or it is nap time, and FF her the rest of the time, but I couldnt even RF her in the Combi! Heck I might as well go get another Marathon and install it the opposite of what mine is now so that I can just switch my daughter around.
Maybe Combi has opened the door for other companies to start looking at this option though. I still like the one-time install option.
