Safety, Portablity, and Style September 4, 2007

Safe, lightweight, solid styling, and child-approved. My daughter was so excited about what was originally purchased as an extra vacation booster option that she nos favors the Combi booster over her more permanent full-size booster. This booster was easy to travel with and provided the safety and security I was looking for. We enjoyed other Combi products when my daughter was an infant and it's great to see our brand usage expand through the years.
 Great Buy!!! June 26, 2007

This is a great booster seat, it has a lot of padding and I know that my kids are safe in this booster seat! My friend has this item and paid $15.00 more! Don't buy the cheapy ones from Walmart!! This is a better seat.
 Good seat, bad shoulder belt adjustment June 10, 2007

I bought the 2006 model of the Combi Dakota, and I love it. I gave it to the in-laws so they would have a booster seat to chauffeur the little one around, and they love it. My father-in-law was actually gushing about how easy it was to install and use (my father-in-law does not pay compliments lightly). You can quickly and easily adjust the shoulder belt with this seat. The shoulder belt adjuster pulls the shoulder belt down a couple of inches so that it fits over your child's shoulder and not over your child's throat. The 2006 model has a really nice plastic fold-and-lock clamp with a cord that can be adjusted by pressing a single button. Just press the button, slide the adjuster up or down the cord, release, and you're done (the child can be in the seat when you do this). The cord can be moved to the left or right side of the booster seat (unsnap the cover, move the cord, re-snap the cover). The seat is small and sturdy enough to throw into a duffel bag and check it in with your other luggage when you fly so you'll have a booster seat at your destination. When I did this on a recent trip, my in-laws made absolutely certain that I would return this seat to them because they didn't want to mess around with some other seat. So now in 2007, I purchased (and subsequently returned) a second Combi Dakota booster seat.
If you click the purchase button, you will be buying the 2007 model. Not as good as the 2006 model, not by a long shot. The shape is mostly the same. By thumping on it, it sounds like the two models are equally sturdy. The big (HUGE) difference is the shoulder belt adjuster. Like most booster seats, you use your car's lap and shoulder belts to strap in the kid. The 2007 model replaces the cord with a strap that comes up through the center back of the seat. It's a thin strap, so maybe your young one won't feel the strap behind his back. The adjuster clamp was replaced with a simple molded plastic clip. Inserting the shoulder belt into this new style clip is hard enough, but adjusting it is time consuming and tedious. To adjust the height of the shoulder belt, you must remove the shoulder belt from the clip, loosen the booster seat's strap from the clip, and then tug at the strap literally six different directions to make your best guess as to how far the clip should be adjusted, and then some how hold the strap at this position while re-tugging the slack out of the strap. Re-insert the shoulder belt into the clip. Repeat this procedure until you get the shoulder belt adjusted over your child's shoulder. Repeat this procedure if another child uses this booster seat. Repeat this procedure if you move the booster seat to another car.
You can see the 2006 user's manual at the Combi web site (combi-intl). I could not find the 2007 user's manual on their site. The 2007 user's manual that came with the 2007 booster seat had illustrations of the new adjuster strap, but the verbal instructions adjacent to the illustrations still describe the clamp and cord used in the 2006 booster seat. This makes it sound like you can adjust the 2007 model by simply pressing a button and sliding the adjuster up and down a cord (this is not true for the 2007 model). Print out the verbal instructions above and paste them into your user's manual (should you choose to purchase this seat).
There's no way I'm going to use the 2007 model. There's NO WAY I'm going to give this seat to my in-laws. Whenever we fly with our child, we will borrow back the 2006 booster seat.
The 2006 model was made in Romania. The 2007 model is made in China.
Very good, my daugther loves it May 15, 2007

I bought it in my recent trip to the US (car rental want to charge me $90 for 10 days child seat rental). I bring it back to my home country, and I have to switch it over cars because my daugther always want to ride in her "adult, special" seat.
BTW, the cops here praise this booster design. A plus.
It's a good booster seat! May 13, 2007
