CA findings

Has anyone else noticed with their CA naked, that it appears that they knew from day one the newer models would have a base? mine are both DOM jul 09. Both have the cut outs where the bases would attach on the newer models. So the shell is apparently the same as in newer models, just with added base. So if they did this knowing they were adding a base why not just do it from day one! I do not get Dorel!

I think it's more that the shell itself is actually the shell they used on their 50 lb alpha omegas, which do have bases, so the cutouts were already there. I'm honestly not sure why they decided to put the base back on...I'm thinking parents must like it, because techs certainly don't. I think probably marketing "ooh, our seat ha a recline feature" played into it.

I'm kind of glad they have the baseless option since it's less expensive. Mine installs nice and upright for and older child without the base and if I wanted some recline I'd rather get a $3 pool noodle than pay an extra $50 or so for the base. But I'm just cheap like that ;) I got mine after they'd been around for a while so the price had gone down alot though. I probably would care more if I'd paid as much as or more than the model with the base costs now.
