Combi
She couldn't comment.
No comment, lol. She did say in her presentation though and Combi's out of Japan and they are very concerned about things being small b/c of the smallness of the cars so I'm not sure we'll be seeing any bigger seats from them personally.
YES! You can call Combi and they are sending out the foam pieces that come w/ the Zeus, kind of like noodles but not round. You can then use this in the seat bite to help w/ forward movement. A temp solution can be shelf liner under the seat and in front of the foot portion of the seat as well. They will send this as well if you ask.
She said this was mentioned to them earlier and they are trying to find something that works w/out having to redo the mold for the seat.
Vera posted on that thread (she's the one here) so she knows about it.
Vera from Combi said they had done something like this in the past and it was a disaster of sorts. She did say they were working on putting videos on You Tube and just made a FB page as well.
Yes, the 2 covers will be interchangable. She said the dimensions of the seat are not changing. She said she has a gray one, but it might be a prototype and will check on the colors for the Flash.
Britax
3rd or 4th Qaurter. She said they keep trying to discontinue it but stores won't let them!
She said keep telling Britax! They have a facebook page or you can e-mail them, but when they've done parent research in the past, those boy covers aren't considered important so they don't make them. She said tell them nicely though, don't criticize as that's not going to get you very far.
She said they are working on some changes now to the PW SG but she wasn't sure if making it taller was one of the plans. So if you need that super tall booster, you might just have to break down and get the FR85.
The new LATCH anchors are the new no-handed LATCH anchors. You used to have switch the sides the anchors were on going from ffing to rfing etc, and now you can use them on either side at any time. It was a measure to simplify things for parents. This was something I saw often for parents coming in w/ ffing Britax seats.
Rear-face tether for the Coccoro?

HWH or erf seat from Combi?

any sort of RF stabilizer, KWIM?

I'd like a sunshade accessory for the Coccoro.

Any plans on fixing the misuse in the Coccoro video?

Does either company plan to make a 'quick start' dvd that parents can just stick in the computer/dvd player and WATCH a correct install with latch and seatbelt so that people who don't bother with the owner's manual because it's got 'too many warnings' or whatever can see how to CORRECTLY install their seats without asking for too much attention from them?

I only have a few questions not covered already, for Combi: will the 2nd generation (2010 model) Coccoro covers be compatible with the older Coccoros? And, do they plan to release the Coccoro Flash in any color but tan?
Yes, the 2 covers will be interchangable. She said the dimensions of the seat are not changing. She said she has a gray one, but it might be a prototype and will check on the colors for the Flash.

boy and girl colors/patterns would be great. Thanks!
