My shuttle33 is here

Spam · Oct 1, 2010

Update and added more pics

Yay! My shuttle33 arrived a little bit ago. Kecia did a thorough review on carseatblog and I agree with pretty much everything she said. It's super cute. I haven't got to try an install yet, have to wait for dh to get home. It's so soft. I put Tucker in it and he fell asleep within five minutes

He'd been fussing in his sweetpeace as usual, he's a fussy baby in general imo. But he's been sleeping happily in shuttle for about an hour now. Part of me wants to move him out of the carseat since i don't usually use them as sleeping spots, but he's content and i don't want to mess with that either.

I will add some pics in a bit, my battery is dead

Here's the happy baby

And ummm, what seat should i use today??

If anyone wants certain comparisons on any of the three let me know

babyherder · Oct 1, 2010

Awwww! He looks very content. I wouldn't move him if he's happy (assuming you have the carseat positioned at the correct angle so he doesn't have head flop and close his airway but you know about this so I'm sure he's fine). If he likes the car seat, he likes the carseat. Nothing wrong with that!

ooooh, pretty. That's a nice collection, too. I'll be interested to hear which you like best.

but, uh... I think you have a problem.

Kat_Momof3 · Oct 1, 2010

that's my favorite infant seat... so narrow, so lightweight... so much room, yet fits little babies so well... I think you don't need the other two.

Kecia · Oct 1, 2010

Actually, the Shuttle 33 isn't really what I would consider "light". According to my digital bathroom scale (which is accurate to within an ounce or two - I use it to weigh postal packages) it weighs 10.2 lbs. That's heavier than the KeyFit 30 I have which weighs 9.6 lbs on the same scale.

Now you to install all three bases in your vehicle and you can use whatever seat matches his outfit that day best! Like purses but better!

BTW, he't adorable!

Yeah, I think I have a problem too. Three infant seats and a CCO for one baby

I plan to downsize. I can't do much with ss1, it expires next year so i think i'm going to hang on to it for the next trade in event

I installed the base with seatbelt in our 00 durango, it took literally five seconds. So easy and nice lockoff. The rebound bar doesn't come close to touching the seatback though. We only went on a short trip, but it snapped in/out easily. I really like it so far

Ohhhh i LIKE this! I know everyone here thinks the KF is tops but well, there must be something wrong with me because i just don't love it! I think this one is going to shoot to position #1 for baby #4, should baby #4 ever come to fruition

Is the harness adjuster as nice as the CCO? I had a CCO for 5 weeks, loved the look, fit, and especially the harness and adjuster, but the install was less than ideal so i got rid of it.... if this seat had a similar harness to the CCO i think i am sold!

I don't love the KF either :duck: It's just okay to me. The harness adjuster isn't as nice the cco. In kecia's review she talked about it. She said it gets easier as the slots move up, but it takes a little bit of work to get it tight where it is now (1 click from the bottom) I'm hopefull it just takes some getting used to. I'm also getting used to the way the handle goes down, I'm so used to pushing the release buttons on the side and on the shuttle they're buttons on the circular part of the handle. That probably didn't make any sense lol.

I think he's cute too! I could install all three bases in the car lol.

There are still a few measurements on the shuttle33 missing on the carseat measurements/data spreadsheets. Would you might gathering some of the missing data (and verifying the other data)?

I'm in love with Jade =)

Do you have any of the "snap n go" type stroller frames? Does this work in those? I know combi has their own but I can find the others much more easily (and cheaply).

They also have the Cosmo stroller in Jade but the stoller receives such terrible reviews in terms of wheel quality and maneuverability.

Thanks for posting, I don't hear much about the Shuttle so I'm glad I got to see some RL pics!

I have a carseat attachment for my contours stroller, I'll try it out tomorrow and see how it fits. Pics of course.

Really? I had a Cosmo and LOVED it! I am really leaning toward this car seat for #3 arriving in March. The only thing that is delaying my decision is that it's not compatible with my Quinny stroller. Only Maxi-cosi infant seats are. :thumbsdown:
I do LOVE that car seat, though!

Good to know you liked the Cosmo!! I guess I should have said mixed reviews, some love it, some hate it. I went ahead and put it on my registry after my mother insisted that I needed to first have a registry and more importantly have a stoller on said registry. So naturally, it comes in Jade which is a perfect match to the Shuttle in Jade :thumbsup:

Great! You rock!

It fit fine in the carseat attachment for the contours stroller

It didn't *snap* but I don't know if they're supposed to

I've never used it before. It sit down deep in it and with the strap it was very secure.

I also tried it today baseless in my moms van.

T4K · Oct 6, 2010

Your stroller set up looks nifty, thanks for trying it out! The pics were a bonus!

Mags462 · Oct 6, 2010

Wow that handle looks really curved..... is it weird to carry because of that?

My shuttle33 is here
