We got the Coccoro and Coccoro Flash for Trevor. Now we are all set for carseats for him.
I'm pretty sure the Coccoro will reside in our Honda Civic Hybrid. DH uses that car most of the time these days, and he doesn't like the continuous harness of the True Fit.
I know the True Fit fits great in the Honda. I need to test an install rearfacing for newborn in our Pathfinder, but I'm sure it will be fine.
Here are a couple of pictures of the Coccoro rearfacing for a newborn in our Civic.
I find it amusing that the two seats I chose for Trevor have opposite visual deceptions on the angle for a newborn install.
While the True Fit Premeir appears overreclined, the Coccoro appears too upright for a newborn. But the line is level with the ground. I double checked that. It is interesting the way the infant padding creates the 45 degree angle for the baby.
The install wasn't bad. It felt a bit awkward to me, because I am used to installing seats by locking the seatbelt and having it ratchet back on me. Since you don't lock the seatbelt for the Coccoro, I felt I needed a couple of more hands to slide the blue locking clip down, as I compressed the carseat into the car. I will need to set aside time to practice the install several times. I'm sure I'll develope a quicker technique. Especially since we got the flash stroller. I'll want to be sure I can get a great install, even if baby is in the seat.
