Need Feb/March 2008 MA ASAP - Car Seat.Org - Carseat, Vehicle & Child Passenger Safety Forums

razmajaz · 03-17-2008, 12:58 PM

I need one of these today/tommorrow. (We leave on a unexpected trip Wed. AM) Yikes, I know! MIGHT be willing to pay extra S&H for the right deal. Any suggestions?

I have already called: BRU & Target in the area and they do not have any 2008 MAs.

You can probably get a Feb/March DOM from BabyCatalog (or similar stores), but you would have to pay quite a bit for overnight shipping. Is there a reason that it has to be 2008? You could probably pick up a late 2007 one from BRU. If you are worried about the 33 vs 35 RF limit, there is no garauntee that you would get a 35# one. You would have to call the various websites to see what they have in stock.

Yeah, it is the 35# RF weight limit that I am most concerned about. But, at this point, I think I am just going to have to go with the other one, since I need one so soon. I'm bummed, but still excited for him to start riding in a new MA!

I got a MA from Albeebaby, it's either Feb or Mar 2008 (sorry, can't remember right now)....but it is a 33 lb rf limit. They were very nice about checking DOM
when I emailed them, but when I tried to find out (over the phone) about the
rf weight limit the person I spoke with knew nothing about car seats.
Maybe you could email them with both questions? The one I got was
http://www.albeebaby.com/br20macocars12.html (pay no attention to the 30lb rf limit it say there....)

What's the simplest way to tell whether a seat is 33 or 35 lb, then?
DOM?
User Guide incl in the box?

I'm shopping for a MA, too.

The Bjorns · 03-20-2008, 01:36 PM

The seats all have stickers on them to indicate the weight limits.

barnfield · 03-20-2008, 01:49 PM

Sticker on the seat itself or on the box?

In other words, if I call Albeebaby (or other seller) can they tell by looking at the box whether it is 33 or 35?

2wild · 03-21-2008, 01:03 PM

Just checked my box, it only has DOM...so unless they know when Britax
started making the 35 lb-ers, then no. Maybe you could call Britax and ask
what DOM to look for, then ask Albeebaby? Or maybe there is someone at
Albeebaby who might know. I suspect the closeout MA I got has something to
do with it being 33lb rf - maybe the last of the breed?

libranbutterfly · 03-21-2008, 05:19 PM

I thought they also changed the box design? Don't quote me on that though. DOM is the best best I think. i'd say closeou3t MAs are definately 33 lbs.

2wild · 03-21-2008, 08:30 PM

Someone just posted on another thread that they got the same seat
(brownstone 2008 from albeebaby for $209) and it is a 35 pounder. FWIW
