[MySillyKids]

omg. I WANT! (in like a half a year)

[NannyMom]

Is it bad that I like the black/grey more than the pretty colors? Brian.... you won't be getting the black/grey that was "leaked" to the board? The colors are the only think stopping me from placing an order right this very second lol

I didn't see the one that was leaked, but the Chandler looks a bit gray / black to me. I'm trying to get hi res images so I can see for sure. These are the only 2 that I've seen released so far.

Chandler looks like a pale blue and black too me.

You're not coming up in a Google Search of the My Ride 65. I believe you're the first to put it on sale. How do you get up higher in google searches?

I just put it online about 20-25 mins ago .. give it a couple days and it will percolate up in Google. Can't Guarantee where it will land, but google will pick the page up in the next couple of days.

This goes up to 40lbs rf!! Is anyone else this excited!?!?

[4boysmom]

man I had temporary amnesia bout those darn cup holders!

[melniemi]

Thanks for the pics!! I love the girly one. I wish it had been available 2.5 years ago when my dd1 outgrew her ma rfing. She still asks to sit backwards but is now 42#s If dd2 ever gains weight or baby5 is a big chunker, we'll need one of these

Um, wow $159.99?? I have to say that I think that's really great! I know a lot of people were disappointed in this seat when the first pics were leaked, but I really think this fits a niche in the affordable convertible market. There are a LOT of really heavy babies that get turned around before a year and honestly, I think that is just as important to address as the issue of designing seats that will RF older children. I hope that people will see that sticker that says RF to 40lbs right on the strap cover and actually digest that info.

I thought the Chandler was just the same as the leaked one but with different lighting. But I put the pics side by side (I never closed a couple of the leaked pics on my desktop...I've been staring at it and trying to fall in love, lol. Hasn't happened yet) and there are differences. The shoulder strap covers are gray on the leaked, black on the chandler. Same with the flap that covers the harness adjuster. The leaked one also has a "Graco" patch-label on the front of the seat, and the airbag warning in the shoulder area. Not sure if they edit that out for stock photos though. Other than that they look the same, but the gray is a lot darker on the leaked which could or could not just be the lighting.

I'm so glad this seat is coming--if it's really here by June I should be safe, DS goes between 32 and 34 lbs but this week stayed around 32. Here's hoping!

Most people don't realize that kids are safer rear facing. What about the Swedish!? They have like a 1% death rate among children in accidents because they are all RF

I recently checked my cousins seat and she had already turned him around at 10 months! I told her NO WAY!

It's hard to tell from the picture, but how tall is the seat shell? It doesn't look that tall. How tall are the highest slots? (Not sure if anyone knows yet, just thinking outloud)
If it's as tall as the MA, or taller, and has a high enough shell and can fit 3 across, I might get one of these instead of a MA. I'm not getting a new seat until about September.

It was measured about an inch shorter than the MA. But the pics with a child in the seats made it look like the child had more room above his head in the My Ride than in the MA. I think the cup holders make it wider, so not sure how it would do in your 3 across. The top slots are just shy of 17 inches.

Bryan... thank you!! You have been such an awesome guy for giving us info on the board... don't think it's gone unnoticed!

Yeah it was kinda weird that way....but it really did look like it gave more room than a MA so it should be adequate to get most kiddos to 3 or so height wise which is 100x better than their last convertible!

Yeah, it will probably be too wide for me. I cant have anything wider than the MA. Thats ok though, I will be able to get ds RF long enough in the MA.

No problem at all. I knew there were a lot of people interested in this seat on the board so wanted to get the word out. Plus, I heard about the seat from you guys first!

Oh, my, my heart is fluttering...I hope Leah's short enough to get another 6-9 months out of it

Put books on her head. That's what I intend to do with my 2 year old to keep her short!

I will be buying at least one of these when the comfort sport I have had since DS's birth expires. I love the girly one. Good thing the seat is for a girl .
