Without the combined child selector you would probably do something similar to this:
foo {
bar {
baz {
color: red;
}
}
}
If you want to reproduce the same syntax with >, you could to this:
foo {
> bar {
> baz {
color: red;
}
}
}
This compiles to this:
foo > bar > baz {
color: red;
}
Or in sass:
foo
> bar
> baz
color: red
