I've been stalking this seat, and the release has gotten pushed back a number of times, but it's now listed as instock at Amazon, and you can buy it on the learning curve website!

I'm curious to see if the seat belt fit will be the same, or have they changed the belt path on this new one?
Plus, its short so no I won't be getting one.

Possibly. It would be easier to travel with than the Monterey and I will be travelling a bit this summer (bleh, but that's a different story). I do like LATCH for boosters, even though I know it isn't a safety feature. My daughter's torso has grown about 1.25" between ages 5 and 8 (she sprouted legs!) and she still technically fits in a Nautilus harness so I don't think she'll outgrow this booster before she's ready for a backless, so even if it's on the shorter side it may work for us.

Thanks for letting us know it's instock! I've been waiting to see if it would finally be released or delayed again.

I might be getting it as a spare for my mom's car (I want to have my mom as an emergency contact for when DD starts Kindergarten in September, so she'll need a seat in her car). I'm considering a Maestro or a Vivo as well. I like that B570 can be LATCHed, so that I don't have to worry about it being a potential projectile in my mom's car, since whichever seat that will be in there won't be used on any sort of regular basis.

I wish this had been in stock a few weeks ago. I'd rather have one of these for travel than the Turbo I ended up buying.

I'm thinking about it. I'd like to see one in person or at least some IRL pics first. From what I've read, it may suit my dd's stockier frame better than some seats. I like that it folds for travel and that it isn't as massive as the Monterey.

Oh. I also need them to release it in a girly cover. Per dd's request.

:thumbsupr at the very least something not all black. That looks so hot and uncomfortable!

Yup. Texas is SO not the state for an all black seat, lol.

I don't even require pink. Aqua or purple would be awesome. Heck, I'd prefer something cute that was NOT pink!

I like the bumblebee black and yellow. If we do get it husband will appreciate having a gender-neutral seat in his car.

I'm not sure whether to make you feel compelled to buy it because it's got a designated belt path for the lapbelt and seemed taller in real life than the old ones, or let you believe it's still short and unlikely to fit to save you having to buy one...

Either way, it doesn't blow my hair back

If they ever release a different cover (Black covers and New Mexico do NOT mix!), I'll definately buy one. I really like the Compass B540 that we have now.

one of the sites which has it, has a black/red cover supposedly on sale, but I've never seen any other mention...I'm wondering if regular compass booster covers woulod fit on it? Cuz compass has a huge variety of covers, and dd has made "pink" a requirement for her booster, sigh.

I wonder if it's as wide as the other Compass seats? If so, it probably wouldn't be a good fit for us, which is too bad as it looks like a nice seat.

How tall? I read 19" and I don't love that, but with an 8yo who fits in a Turbo by height, I don't need super-tall.
