Product Review: Combi Centre DX – Infant Car Seat

Car Seats, Ejection, Infant Carrier

The Combi Centre DX is a car seat is an infant carrier/base car seat system. It is rear-facing with a 5-point harness and is for children five to 22 pounds and under 29 inches.

The Combi Centre DX is one of the newer car seats from Combi. It includes an easy to install base with a narrow profile so you can use it next to other car seats. The handle even stays up in the car, which makes it very convenient.

Features

The Combi Centre DX car seat and base can both be installed with just seatbelts. The car seat does not offer latch installation, but can be installed with the seatbelts if you don’t have the base. The base is pretty standard when compared to other infant car seats. What it does have is a unique built-in locking clip to help with installation. It should be compatible with most seatbelts.

Compared to other infant car seats the base is narrow. This helps if you want to have the car seat in the center or if you need to install multiple car seats at the same time. The Combi Centre DX has an adjustable ‘foot’ that allows four recline positions. The car seat’s integrated locking clip is in the belt path and is used for both Latch and seatbelt installations.

The car seat also has a five-point harness. This type of harness is recommended by child passenger safety advocates. It will offer the best fit and most protection from ejection. This car seat should work great for newborns as the lowest harness height is around 6.5 inches when using the infant insert. The pads on the harness are nice and can be removed.

A rear facing car seat is the safest way for a small child to travel. The Combi Centre DX has a 22 pound limit so most babies should have no problem fitting into the car seat in the rear facing position. This car seat also has an easy to access release mechanism. The handle is also very comfortable for holding the car seat and it is also fairly light weight.

The Combi Centre DX is also pretty stylish for a car seat and has grey patterned fabric with lime green trip. Another great thing about this car seat is that it is designed to be used with many Combi stroller models.

The Verdict

Overall the Combi Centre DX is a very nice infant car seat. It has features you won’t find on most car seat models. It seems to be very safe and installs easily. While no product is perfect I have to give the Combi Centre DX my highest recommendation.
