Mia Moda Certo vs. Viva

Can anyone tell me the difference other than the name? I see the Viva was recalled, but I'm seeing the Certo available for shipping May 2010. The Kaleidoscope cover seems to be exactly the same for both seats.

I owned the Viva, (still have it in the garage actually) and by looking at the pictures the Certo looks exactly the same. Looks like they fixed the two recall issues and didnt change anything else. I really loved the Viva.

They probably changed the name because the recall was so massive, they want a clean slate reputation-wise.

I'd heard they weren't out completely. There aren't any noticeable design changes in the stock photos I'm seeing (well, two new covers). Hopefully they've worked out the rest.

It's hard to say. When I checked last week, neither website of the companies listed the Certo. Personally, I'd be reluctant to buy anything that isn't officially listed as a product on a reputable manufacturer website, or at least listed as "coming soon" or something. Hopefully more information will be available soon.
