DD is within the weight range to use the infant padding, but can I take the foam wedge out of it? It looks like it would make sleeping very comfy, she's fine without it so its not a big deal.

I'm in love with it though... might not be her last rfing seat but I'm okay with that!

I don't have time to look up a manual and I don't have a CCO anymore, but I don't think you can use it without it. I'd think it wasn't tested that way. They likely tested it as a whole with the wedge and accounted for the foam when it came to compression, etc. Without it I just don't think the fit would be right and could compress into empty space that could lessen the effectiveness of the seat in a crash

No, the foam wedge is the whole point of the infant insert. The Combi rep has stated that you can stop using the insert before 15 pounds as long as the straps remain below the child's shoulders.
