It's beautiful, am I the only one who would be willing to buy it and use it anyways? If only it wasn't almost $300.

$500 with the shipping...

I've seen this before, and it is so beautiful. J2 isn't a fan of purple, and DH would pitch a fit if I put one of his sons in purple anyway :rollseyes: but it is the absolute prettiest Coccoro I've ever seen.
 
It's soo pretty.. It ships out of Malaysia and I can't see a chest clip, and it has those huge chest pads, so i'm guessing it wouldn't be legal in N.America, anyway :(

I love that color. My girls will outgrow their CCOs RF in the next 9 months, I think, but... I'd still buy that cover if I could. Even if I only got to use it for a few months.

I have a purple problem.

Ouch... $500 :(. I looked it up on an Asian Combi website and yeah, no chest clip, not legal. Still though, if I had the money to waste, I would and I'd use the seat.

Question (and if this sidelines too much delete it I guess): I know US seats have to be US certified (although I'm not certain the specific certifying body? But I guess meet fmvss standards ((did I get it right?)) and well, be allowed here), so flip side I know foreign seats are not legal in the US. But is a lack of chest clip itself illegal in the US? Or is it just that not having a chest clip is indicative that it's foreign, and thus illegal? I thought the chest clip here wasn't required by law / regulation, just required because the manufacturers say to use them.

And back to the purple - when I told my friends (very tongue in cheek) that I needed $500 to buy an illegal car seat, they didn't even blink. And one said "but you had a seat that looked like that" - I was very impressed they remembered my Coccoro. Everyone loved that seat.

Hey, with all the members here, we must have someone in S. Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, etc.. Assuming you can buy the covers from Combi, someone could probably make some money buying purple covers and shipping them over ;)

And they would probably be able to finance a house with the profits they'd make ;)

Wait, there's an ECE Coccoro? Like a one that I could have here in Europe? Why don't they sell it here??

Added: Argh ... Seems like it's RF to 10kg only :( :( :(

FMVSS standards do not require chest clips, so theoretically we could have seats here without them. It's more that North American markets have come to expect them and a seat without one would unnerve buyers therefore manufacturers include them and the seats are tested with them, making them required. Using foreign seats is illegal, but not unsafe and I wouldn't have a problem doing it at all. Besides, no cop around here would know what he was looking at or even care if I were to get pulled over.

There's a black and pink tinkerbell one that I've listed very forever too for the Asian market. I almost convinced my mom to bring one back when they went to Japan.

Do you think there is anyone in Asia drooling over our seats and lamenting over the fact that theirs are lame?
