Is Britax going to release new covers?

Question in the title. The girly cover selection for the 70 models is kind of lame. :eek:

Does anyone know if anything cute and girly is coming out anytime soon?? :D

I'm sure they will but who knows how soon? They generally release a new batch of covers one or two times a year for each of the more popular models; the 70 models just came out so I'd imagine they will evaluate how everything is selling and take that into consideration when planning new cover releases.

They need a place for cover suggestions or like we do polls to vote for new covers that we'd actually use. It would also be cool to bring back some of more cute and fun covers they had like the "handful" and "faux paws" for some of the new ones.

When they do release new covers, can you call and buy just one of those new covers from them? Or do you have to wait for them to post the one you want in their parts store online?

Cover fashions, even more than other features, are largely decided by the buyers from the big retailers, like BRU/TRU, Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc. The manufacturers produce a very large number of concepts, most of which are rejected by the buyers. Sometimes the buyers don't like any ideas or samples provided, in which case it is back to the drawing board. The best sellers are almost always neutrals like black, grey and tan, presumably because people buy them to match their vehicle interiors. So, the buyers tend to insist on those boring types of fashions and the cycle continues.

Retail buyers also indirectly determine other things. For example, they may give better shelf space to products that have wider age/weight ranges or those with higher margins (ie made in China) and can influence other design choices too.

This isn't only for child safety seats, but also for strollers and various other products. So, especially with fashions, it's probably not the manufacturer that is mostly to blame if you find the choices to be boring or lack boy/girl or celebrity fashions.
