Coccoro pics with 3.5 yo RF & FF (PIC HEAVY)

autumnlily · Jun 4, 2009

I took these photo's last night of my oldest DD - who last measured 31lbs (dressed), 37" tall (I think she has grown an inch though to equal 38") and I've forgotten her torso measurement but it was something like 14".

She was not the most cooperative model - so please disregard the frowns

and the "fort" making materials strewn about the floor.

The seat RF is at a full 45 degree angle in these pics:

The seat RF is at an approximate 40 degree angle...

Forward Facing (I had not replaced the cover hooks... I was running out of model time):

Wow, she doesn't have much leg room, but she still fits! I've been trying to justify buying one for months and your pics may push me over the edge.

She's cute, BTW!

Very nice! I love how low to the vehicle seat it sits. :thumbsup:

It is definitely a compact convertible! I would not have this be her ERF seat - although she technically still fits RF.

I'm trying to decide if I keep it for our few times we need three across in my parent prius and my DH Avalon. IF it installs nicely - it may be the most expensive compact "back-up" seat in our house. I'm still praying for a miracle in our 2007 sienna

for installation.

For those wanting to RF beyond 3ish, yeah, it's not a great option, but most folks are fine turning FF at 2-3 (and really, as long as the kiddo can make it to 2, I'm happy), so for most folks, I think it's a nice seat to recommend. It can certainly accommodate bigger kids than I ever expected, just from looking at it.

Cute!!! That seat is so cool. And the fact that you have a vehicle seat in your house is amazing!! Now that's dedication.

LOL - my DH does not think so

With three kiddos and a frustrating install... I just took it out of the van so I could get some "quality" time. Otherwise, I'm limited to our nap time to go and play with my seats or late at night when all the kiddos are in bed. It has been fun to work with it in such a roomy environment.

I agree! I'm just SO happy to see it work for my children. The twins are on a slower growth curve then their big sister to-date... so, it confirms to me that I can't go wrong with a compact convertible AND get 3 years ERF. And, another year FF.

It's definitely an option for children on the small to smallish/average size that want 3 years of use out of the seat (RF & FF).

Any comparison pics of her in another seat?

The coccoro is sooo tiny, but it's like tiny on the outside, but not so much on the inside. It looks like it has the inside dimensions of a scenera, only way cuter and takes up way less space.

I also wonder, if you move the straps down where they would be if you were using it rf'ing, and got her in there good and snug, if it would pull her down a little and give more room over her head. I notice that when I put DS in with the straps below his shoulders, it pulls him down and gives him more room above his head. Which is why he looked like he grew 6 inches when he went from rf'ing to ff'ing.

I'll see if she will cooperate with the photo's tonight. I have a MA and RN I could try. I do feel that she was just a smidge under the top slots for RF and could have easily had the straps down one slot. Again, time was a major factor for my princess grumpy

and she may gain a bit of head room. But the leg room is a bit limited.

HOWEVER, I need to ask in the tech/install forum - if I had the auto seat reclined just a bit, 1st: would it be safe? and 2nd: wouldn't it provide just a bit more leg room. The manual clearly states something to the effect that "if the seat can be adjusted, to put it in it's most upright position". Honestly, off topic, IF I could do this safely, then I would consider the CCO compatible with the seats of a second row 8-passenger Sienna (currently, I can't get it installed without issues).
