The Disney Baby Jive (CC286) is a 2-in-1 convertible seat. Its manual lists rear-facing from 5 to 40 lb and 19 to 40 in, and forward-facing with the harness from 22 to 65 lb and 29 to 49 in for a child at least 1 year old. It installs with LATCH or a vehicle belt and expires after 10 years.
The Jive suits a family that wants one seat from birth through a long forward-facing harness stage, up to 65 lb and 49 in. The main caution is that the product page and the manual disagree on when forward-facing may start, so I would follow the manual and labels that come with the seat. Compared with the Scenera Extend, it lists the same rear-facing range but a higher forward-facing ceiling.

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.
| Mode | Child weight | Child height | Minimum age | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rear-facing harness | 5 to 40 lb | 19 to 40 in | Not published | — |
| Forward-facing harness | 22 to 65 lb | 29 to 49 in | 12 months | Manual: at least 1 year old |
A child must meet every limit for the mode they use. The labels on your seat and its manual are the final word.
Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.
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.

When they differ, follow the manual and the labels on your seat.
The manual describes 2 positions set with a recline stand under the seat: position 1, reclined, for rear-facing and position 2, upright, for forward-facing. For a rear-facing child from 5 to 22 lb, the bottom level line on the shell must be parallel with the ground. For a child from 22 to 40 lb who can sit up unassisted, start with the bottom line level, then rotate the seat up, but not past the top level line. The manual says the seat must face the rear until the child is at least 1 year old and weighs 22 lb.
The lower anchor belt can be used rear- or forward-facing, but the manual says that if lower anchors are not an option, or the child weighs more than 40 lb, you must install with the vehicle belt. Never use both at once. The tether is for forward-facing only, and when anchors are available it must always be attached and tightened with the internal harness. A finished install should not move more than 1 in at the belt path. Rear-facing, the harness sits at or slightly below the shoulders; forward-facing, at or slightly above.
The head pillow attaches with fabric tabs through the shoulder harness slots. The body pillow is for rear-facing only. The manual says to remove the harness covers if they stop the chest clip sitting correctly or prevent a tight enough fit on a smaller infant. To clean, remove the harness system and accessories, then machine wash the pad separately in cold water on a gentle cycle, without bleach, and tumble dry 10 to 12 minutes on low heat. Spot clean the straps, buckle and shell; do not submerge them. The cup holders are top-rack dishwasher safe.
No campaign in the current NHTSA child-restraint data names this model family, and I have not run a separate review for it. Check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use.
The manual gives rear-facing at 5 to 40 lb and 19 to 40 in, and forward-facing at 22 to 65 lb and 29 to 49 in. A child must be at least 1 year old to ride forward-facing, and children under 1 must ride rear-facing.

The product page lists forward-facing from 30 to 65 lb and 34.4 to 49 in, while the linked manual starts lower. The manual may be an earlier revision, so I would check the labels on the seat you receive.

The manual says it is certified for aircraft use and carries a certification label on its side. Install it in a window seat, use it only on forward-facing aircraft seats, and ask for a belt extender if the lap belt is too short.
