I have seen mention of annual sale. Anyone know when this generally is?

There are two. The last week of February and then again in September.

It has been the second week of September the past two years. What seat are you planning to purchase? If you don't need it for a newborn, definitely wait. Britax seats expire 6 years from DOM. There's no point having a convertible hanging out in your garage if you aren't going to use it until the baby is older.

What is the % off? Is this sale from Britax or retailers?

joolsplus3 · 03-14-2008, 12:45 PM

Britax has to allow the retailers to sell at lower prices. Best deals this last week were Roundabouts for 149, A Marathon for 184, Regent for 199. There's always at least one seat on sale at www.albeebaby.com though (Marathon for 229, usually, just depends on if there's a less popular cover option that doesn't sell as well, then it's cheaper).

Thanks for the info! Do you remember where you saw the regent for 199? Also, know of any deals on the Boulevard - Shannon?

The regents were $199 at several online retailers and 209 at the rest. The onyx cover was usually $199.
The boulvevards I noticed during the last sale were right about $240, I was buying one so I didn't pay close attention to if certain covers were cheaper.

Uggg; I can't believe I missed a boulevard for 240 and regent for 199

I am so bummed!!!

I just became aware last week that I should be ERF my 1yr DD and harnessing my 4.5yr DS. I have been doing a ton of reading on this site and trying to scope out the best prices. 2 Britax seats are alot of money; so i'm trying to get a good deal!

Glad you've been doing your research! Have you looked at the Evenflo Triumph Advance? It's a great seat, and for a kid who is longer rather than heavier it'll last longer than a Mararthon. It starts at $130 and goes to $170. It rear faces to 35 pounds and forward to 50.

The Graco Nautilus has top slots just an inch shorter than the Regent. 19" top slots, 65 pound harness limit, 100 pounds as a booster (both high back and low back) and is $150. It's also easy to install in just about everything, FAA approved, and has an awesome cupholder. :-)

Those are wonderful options even if budget wasn't a concern. I'd happily put Piper in either. And I've been tempted by both.
