Combi Kobuk Booster Seat

A booster seat raises the child up so that the car’s seat belt falls across the bony hips, not the soft easily injured abdomen. It also ensures that the upper portion of the seat belt lays across the chest and not the child’s neck. The Combi Kobuk is a high back booster seat that has a headrest with shoulder belt guides to keep the upper portion of the seat belt off the child’s neck. Car Seat belts are really designed for adults, so until the child reaches the appropriate height needed for a seat belt they should not travel without a Child booster seat or some type of infant seat. The headrest will really be appreciated by your child especially on long trips where he/she might need to take a nap.

The Combi Kobuk booster seat is designed for children 3-10 years of age weighing anywhere between 32-121 pounds, with height ranging from 33-57inches. The backrest of the Combi booster seat can easily be lowered or raised for children of various heights and in instances where a child outgrows the backrest it can be completely removed. Unlike other booster seats that require a child to be at least 40lbs before removing the backrest, the Combi Kobuk booster seat has no such restrictions. I would advice that you keep the backrest on as long as possible though as it not only makes the seat much more comfortable, but also offers side impact protection.

Lined with energy absorbing EPS, Egg Shock foam (memory foam that sits behind head), and vented comfort foam, The Combi Kobuk is one of the safest and most comfortable booster seats on the market. It is also one of the few booster seats that offer side support and the only one that has vertical and horizontal seat belt guides. These belt guides allows you to find the right setting to properly secure children of varying heights. This booster seat is covered with a nice breathable fabric, that can be removed and hand washed.

The Combi Kobuk booster seat is designed to grow with the child. If the child outgrows the backrest, it can easily be removed and the shoulder belt attached to the base can be used in conjunction with the seat belt the child. Other feature of this booster seat is the removable cup holder that can be placed on either side of the seat and a nice, soft headrest. The headrest will really be appreciated by your child especially on long trips. Despite appearances this booster seat is surprisingly lightweight and can easily be transported from one location to another.

The Combi Kobuk is a safe, reliable, sturdy and comfortable booster seat, and at a retail price of $190 it is money well spent. It is important to note that as it is with all booster seat, your child should display a certain level of maturity that will not cause him/her to wiggle out of seat belt or slouch over, before you decide to switch from an infant seat that offers a five-point harness system to a booster seat that uses the car’s seat belt.
