Who is the Disney Baby Ellaris Convertible Car Seat for?

The Disney Baby Ellaris (CC387) is a convertible seat with two harness modes in the manual: rear-facing 5 to 40 lb and 19 to 40 in., and forward-facing 30 to 65 lb and 34.4 to 49 in. It has no booster mode, is certified for aircraft use with the harness and expires 10 years after manufacture.

Reasons to consider it

  • Forward-facing harness to 65 lb and 49 in.
  • Hook-style LATCH, usable forward-facing up to a 55 lb child
  • Removable twist-in cup holders that are top-rack dishwasher safe
  • Certified for aircraft use with the internal harness

Things to weigh up

  • No booster mode
  • Rear-facing in a side position, the seat must touch the vehicle seat in front of it or be as close as possible
  • The 3-across fit on the page is the brand's own claim; no width is published
  • The third buckle slot cannot be used rear-facing

My take on the Disney Baby Ellaris Convertible Car Seat

It suits a Disney fan who wants a harness-only convertible that also works on a plane. The trade-off is the same as the plain Ellaris: no booster mode, and no numbered recline positions in the manual. The plain Ellaris page lists the same 30 to 65 lb and 34.4 to 49 in. forward-facing range, so the visible differences are the licensed fabric and the Disney page's 3-across claim.

Who the Disney Baby Ellaris Convertible Car Seat fits

This seat covers 2 stages, and a child has to meet every limit of the stage they are in. Safety 1st gives it a 10-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.

Rear-facing harness5 to 40 lb · 19 to 40 in
The child faces the back of the car, which keeps the head, neck and spine supported in a frontal crash. Keep this mode as long as the child fits it.
Forward-facing harness30 to 65 lb · 34.4 to 49 in
The child faces forward in the seat’s own harness. Use the top tether every time, and stay in the harness until the child outgrows it.

How the Disney Baby Ellaris Convertible Car Seat installs

Lower anchors
Hook-style LATCH. Check your vehicle manual for which seating positions have anchors, and switch to the seat belt once the child passes the anchor weight limit in the manual.
Harness
5-position headrest/harness. Check the harness height at each growth spurt: at or below the shoulders rear-facing, at or above them forward-facing.

Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.

Will it fit your car?

Safety 1st does not publish a width for this seat, so measure your back seat and compare it with the seat in a store before buying.

  • Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
  • Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
  • Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.

What to know before you live with it

Rear-facing install and level lines

Rear-facing installs with either the vehicle belt or the LATCH lower anchor belt, never both, and the tether stays on its storage attachment. For a child 5 to 30 lb and 19 to 34.3 in., the bottom level line must be parallel with the ground. For 30 to 40 lb and 34.4 to 40 in., and only if the child can sit up unassisted, the top level line applies. The manual has you rotate the seat up or down until the right line is level. The installed seat should not move more than 1 in. at the belt path, and the manual never allows a rear-facing seat in front of an active frontal airbag.

Forward-facing: tether and the 55 lb anchor limit

Forward-facing covers 30 to 65 lb and 34.4 to 49 in. The manual says not to use the lower anchors for a child over 55 lb (24.9 kg); above that, install with the vehicle belt and tether. The tether must be attached and tightened whenever the vehicle has an anchor. The top of the child's ears must be below the top of the headrest. Harness height and buckle position cannot be changed once the seat is installed, so the manual says to check child fit first.

Cup holders, headrest and cleaning

The cup holders twist counterclockwise to come out and clockwise to click back in, and they are top-rack dishwasher safe. The headrest moves with a squeeze handle; for a smaller infant using the lower shoulder harness slots, it must be in the lowest position. Rear-facing, the harness sits at or slightly below the shoulders. The seat pad machine washes separately in cold water on a gentle cycle with no bleach, then tumble dries separately for 10 to 12 minutes on low heat. Harness straps are spot cleaned with warm sudsy water and a damp cloth.

Can the Disney Baby Ellaris go on a plane?

Does it fit three across?

The page says the slim design fits 3 across the back seat of most vehicles. Safety 1st does not publish a width, so I would measure the back seat first.

How is it different from the plain Ellaris?

The Ellaris (CC396) page lists the same modes, with rear-facing 5 to 40 lb and 19 to 40 in. and forward-facing 30 to 65 lb and 34.4 to 49 in., plus hook-style LATCH and a 5-position headrest.

Answers refer to the model and manual version on this page. Check the instructions supplied with your seat.

Before you buy

  1. Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
  2. Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect; Safety 1st lists 2 colors of this seat.
  3. Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
  4. Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Safety 1st so you hear about the next one.
