Product Description
No more struggling to secure baby! The lightweight, portable Combi Shuttle Infant Car Seat with Anti-Rebound Bar features an effortless harness height adjustment system that eliminates the need for rethreading the 5-point harness and allows for 7 incremental adjustments for a perfect harness fit. The adjustable headrest area is fully lined with energy absorbing EPS Foam, and the breathable seat cover is removable and washable. The Anti-Rebound feature is integrated directly into the seat itself, so it can be used with the included base or as a stand-alone seat. The included base is a small, sculpted height adjustable unit for the vehicle, with LATCH attachments and storage. Rear-facing capacity of 5-22 lbs and up to 29 inches. Also includes easy one-pull harness adjustment, level indicator for vehicle, 2 piece chest clip, buckle protector pad, harness comfort pads, and adjustable, ergonomically designed handle.

Due diligence with manufactured date and recall. July 2, 2008
New San Diego Dad (San Diego)

Ordered the Wasabi Shuttle at end of May '08. Checked the manufactured date (12/10/07) against the recent recall (units manufactured before 12/15/07)--which just proves Murphy's law and the state of my luck. As it turns out, the factory went ahead and retro-fitted the necessary part before shipping it out to Amazon.com; there are green inspection stickers on the carrier unit and box indicating this--but we had to call Combi to find out that's what it meant. Even though they fixed it before I ever received the car seat, I am deducting one star for not including CLEAR notification with the unit that it was already fixed.
Otherwise, the release mechanism (for detaching the car seat from the car seat base) requires about as much effort as any other unit from Combi's competitors; my wife's small hands can just manage it. Weight-wise it was a tad lighter than others--one selling point. The roll-bar at the foot of the car seat is a feature that no one else seems to offer--another selling point. It integrates with the Helio stroller to form a travel system (see my review on the Helio)--the final selling point for my wife.

I love the compact size of this carseat-a major selling point for me since I drive a compact car. The anti-rebound bar is a safetly feature I liked-and has the added bonus of being an extra "handle" when getting in and out of the car. In an ideal world, the canopy wouldn't be attached to the back of the seat and would have full range of motion, but that's minor compared to the other features I enjoy.
 not for everyone July 21, 2008
concerned parent in Arizona (Tucson, Arizona United States)
Be aware that the canopy of this seat retracts for no reason, which is particulaly disturbing when you live in a hot sunny state like Arizona. I thought ours might be defective but when I returned to the store the floor model had the same problem. Additonally, as previously stated the release button takes quite a bit of strength (easy for my husband, not so much for me).
Cute August 7, 2008

We bought this car seat for our 5th child because it was so darn cute! We wanted something different. When we got it in the mail we were so excited, but that didn't last long. It is soooo hard to get out of the base. I have to wiggle it ALOT to get it out and with a sleeping baby - not a good idea. My husband can barely do it. It is also too heavy (even though all the reviews say it isn't). We also looked for 2 months for a stroller to use it with and couldn't find one to work. It does not have the traditional latch on the bottom to fit into a universal stroller frame or even on the grocery cart. Combi does make a stroller to use with it, but not in the Mandrin color option. Sigh... We have sadly sent it back and purchased another option and I am sad.
Things I do love are the handle, the foot safety bar and the material, but that is all.
 I only buy combi. August 29, 2008
DArcy (Georgia)
I am a big fan of combi. I am a very small person, 100lbs when not pregnant, and this is a very light-weight carseat. We got the stroller that matches this carseat and it is great. My son isn't born yet, but I had combi with my daughter and loved it. I wouldn't buy another brand.
