Two years old!!!!

So I ordered a BabyTrend Flexloc from Walmart.com. Had it shipped to my house because it was cheaper than driving an hour round trip to pick it up. So I got it on Tuesday and for some strange reason just today looked at the DOM. 7-12-2008. Um, really? Granted, it was $79.00 but I could find it about $10 more other places so I don't think that's that big of a discount.

And the base is totally different. I played with one at a local store (didn't buy that one because it was part of a travel system) and the base was the main reason I wanted it. But the base I got was drastically different shaped than the newer one. When did they change the base?

Needless to say, it's going back. I didn't use it beyond installing it so if they resell it it's fine. But I'm not going to keep a seat that only has 4 years left when I can get one almost the same price with more time to use it. I know some of you don't approve of returning seats but I feel ripped off. If it had been cheaper that would be different.

How frustrating that they are sending such old seats. I am sure that seat is still good, but should have more of a discount on it since it is older.

I have never played with the Flexloc so I wasn't are of two different bases. Keep looking and hopefully you will find a better deal on a newer seat.

I've installed and returned seats. I tried the fit of both a TB and a vivo in my car by installing and then returning. (One didn't fit and one I decided I didn't really need but was glad to know it fit).
