I want to go buy something from Dorel. I don't need anything, but I want. I just bought a new seat. The older of my 2 nieces is 4 years, 2 months old and still fits rf in a graco clone, and will probably till age 5. The other niece is 19 months old and a peanut. I don't need that 50lb rf seat. It won't likely fit anywhere, but I want it so bad. Why don't I have any friends having a baby who I can get something for?

I know we aren't that close yet, but feel free to buy me a pria with tinyfit for my newb

That's the Summit? I remember something on a base! I guess that's what's redesigned.

Yeah, really, really redesigned. If you google, the old one comes up first. I've seen the same seat as an Eddie Bauer at Target, I think, last year? The belt guides were obviously designed to pass IIHS testing standards for the lap belt. :dance:

Oooh, summit looks much better- still not loving those shoulder belt guides but way less incompatible (I hope?)

If Dorel is reading here... the other seat that is totally missing from the market is a tall HBB that doesn't require headrest support and is NARROW. Like, maybe optional armrests or no armrests. Basically, someone needs to re-invent / re-release the old old Parkway.

The Rodifix has no armrests.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that one. And that is Dorel, isn't it?

Okay then, Dorel, how about an affordable version that is available in Canada?

They could still stand to discontinue the Cosco high back booster, right?

Yea, I'd think with it having 14"-ish top slots and a minimum age of 2, how can they not discontinue it? That would be a realllllly short lifespan of usage for a ton of kids. Also, reading about the new side impact stuff coming up, I'd seriously have my doubts that it would pass. I could be totally off base though. I wouldn't feel comfortable having my son ride outboard in it though. At all.

Technically, they said their *convertibles* would have a minimum FF age of 2, right? The high back doesn't qualify. I hope they don't try to use that loophole.

Ahh okay. Well that would suck...
