So, I have one in my hot little hands! I called Dorel for more info and have a little more to share.

I have not taken the time to play with the installation of the seat.
My package material calls my front adjust Comfy Carry seat:
- Comfy Carry Elite
- it has a front harness adjuster (the rep wasn't clear, but I believe that is what constitutes it as "elite")
- My manual mentioned something about a recline foot on select models. My Comfy Carry Elite does NOT have a recline foot. I called Dorel and was told that the Comfy Carry Elite PLUS will have a recline foot and that will be the only difference between the two seats (the recline foot). ETA is March 2011 for the Plus model.
- I am not sure if the basic Comfy Carry will have a PLUS version or not (if it did - that would be a back harness adjuster with a base that has a recline foot)
I'm not certain of the retail breakdown prices between the Comfy Carry, Comfy Carry Elite and Comfy Carry Elite PLUS.

Comments:
- There is only a marked line on the shell to determine angle of seat
- use of a pool noodle or tightly rolled towel is allowed when seat is installed without the base and with the base *as long as the recline foot is NOT in use*
- I don't have a preemie training doll to test with - but I believe it will fit a tiny baby very well and hope that the shorter buckle position and length will not ride too high on the smallest of the babies (I know the length of the buckle on the Graco Snugride 30 has posed some questions regarding this)
- Added:There are instructions for buckle adjustment for smaller babies... it is the same adustment allowed by OnBoard infant seats!
