Customer Reviews of Kobuk Booster Seat Black Opal

Our kid finds it comfy and neat, we find it safe and secure
After much researching online for booster seats, we went for an afternoon of boisterous comparison shopping with our almost 4-year old daughter. Coming from the perspective of nice experiences all-around with Britax Roundabout models up till now, we figured it was natural that she was gravitating to the Britax Parkway in each store visited. She said it was most comfy and kept wanting to sit in only the Britax for each store that had one out to try. It also seemed to offer the best support (almost confining) for a sleepy kid's head compared to other brands and models, though it unfortunately appeared rather tough for her to look outside a window or see someone sitting next to her . . . without moving her head forward, out of the support area, that is. <

>In our last store of the day, we saw the Combi Kobuk in Opal for the first time and my spouse immediately guessed that would be our new booster seat. It just had the build, cushioning and installation characteristics all-around which we had been looking for, all appearing very well made and smartly designed for ease of use on a daily basis. <
> <
>Testing on an in-store demo car seat with the Kobuk showed that seatbelts fit perfectly around our daughter due to design of the seat's shoulder and armrest guides. It had a confidence-inspiring fit and taughtness that was remarkably simple and not at all an effort to achieve - an experience that was overall superior to what we felt with the Britax Parkway, Graco Deluxe, Compass B500 and Evenflo Big Kid Everest. Frankly, these are all fine booster seats, but the Combi just stood out in terms of installation confidence for us parents, while apparent ease of acceptance by our daughter rang through to solidify the sale. Oh, and it looks neat, too. <
> <
>She rode home in the Kobuk from the store, and after we pointed out the basics of a shoulder belt and buckle, she then soaked in the experience and noted matter-of-factly how she could see out the window. She fell asleep about 10 minutes into our ride home. <
> <
>Our daughter is toward the smaller end of the size criteria for this seat, but her head generally rested on the side of the head support until I came to a stop for tolls (at which point her head fell forward, like in any seat), though it came back up naturally to rest on the side of the head support for the remainder of our drive. <
> <
>To summarize, this was a very simple installation that felt quite solid and inspired confidence for newbie booster-seat owners like ourselves. Plus, there was enough padding and shell-like design for comfort and hopeful added safety in case of side-impact jostling to further make this feel like a safe choice. Our daughter can hop into it quite readily, and the cup-holder - although there's only one - accepts even her larger diameter travel/sippy cups. <
> <
>We have one Kobuk in each car now, and would recommend trying them out to anyone shopping for kid's booster seats. <
> <
>The www.combi-intl.com website apparently has an up-to-date store locator, as it helped us find one only 15 minutes away from home.

Great booster
I have to admit that, second only to my kids' safety, my goal was to find a black booster seat to better fit the black leather interior of my sedan. On that score, the black opal Kobuk wins points for style. It's also extremely easy to manage, tucking away neatly into the trunk when not in use. From the standpoint of safety, it seems to have all the essentials. The horizontal shoulder belt adjustment is very useful for keeping the belt properly positioned on the shoulder and away from the neck. And the wings that wrap around on either side of the head and body give me some peace of mind, and give my four-year-old a place to rest his head. My son loves it too. He can hop in and out of it with ease, and the budding engineer in him loves the idea of the removable cupholder, which he uses to store his matchbox cars and the occasional Altoid. Overall, the Kobuk seems very well made, and the detachable back with the head rest that slides way up will make this the last booster he or his younger sister will ever need. (That is, until I give up my black leather interior.)

happy customer
My 5 year old sat in a Graco car seat for a couple of years after graduating from a Britax roundabout. We were happy with the Graco, but as my son has gotten older and heavier, we have found the Graco car seat to be cumbersome getting in and out of because of the unadjustable and undetachable arm rests. <
> <
>We also travel a fair amount with both of our sons, and shlepping both the Graco and Britax with us on and off the planes has been very awkward. <
> <
>I found this Kobuk Booster at the local Toys R Us and thought we would give it a try. We have had it for just one week, but my 5 year old and the rest of the family really appreciate it. The arms are adjustable, making it easy for my son to get in and out of his seat independently. (I no longer have to hoist him into the backseat.) The headrest is padded well for extra comfort. The booster is also lighter than our Graco or Britax, but the most amazing thing is that it folds up into a compact package, which is much easier to carry and transport when not in use! The other bonus is that it sits higher than the Graco, which means that my son gets a better view of the outdoors, and I can see him better from the front seat. <

>I am so satisfied with this booster, I am buying another for my 3 year old and will transfer him straight from the Britax to the Kobuk.
