It's official. Strawberry Shake, Hazelnut, and Cool Mint are discontinued.

:thumbsdown:

I was going to order one, but all their colors are out.

They said the Chestnut, Carrot Cake, and Licorice would be in by (hopefully) the end of this week, but the other two colors - Keylime and Cherry Pie - won't be in until *at the earliest* end of August, and it'll likely be mid-September.

Oh, and they aren't making a purple.

Come on, Eggplant?!

I did have a thread about this too.

So bummed about purple, but I really want Carrot Cake now.

Purple would be adorable!

If they wanted to stick to the "dessert" theme, they could call it "Blackberry Cobbler" or something. Blackberries are a purplish color.

Our they should make a limited edition white color, with permission to dye.

You need to pitch that to the reps!!!! Like use Dylon dye or something to customize your own color or make a tie dye CCO. I know Dylon is recommended for cloth diapers.

OOH! Brilliant! It could be called marshmallow. Or meringue.

Somebody did post a picture of a white CCO from another country I believe. It was pretty, but I cannot imagine how gross it would get. I love the dye idea.

Isn't there a Japanese version of the CCO? Off to Google!! I'd love to get my hands on a dyable seat cover...for ANY seat.

I vote the purple be called Grape Popsicle.

It's a summer cover for maxi cosi seats.

So are the colors that they are hoping to be in by the end of the week going to be the new models or just more of the old models?

I'd imagine the old. On FB, they said the new ones will be out in mid-September.

Kac · Aug 3, 2011

Oh sorry, I thought it was a CCO.

BabyKaykes · Aug 3, 2011

Am I the only one who thinks Combi is lying when they say no new covers?

monica-m · Aug 3, 2011

I hope they are lying.

Ditto.

Kac · Aug 3, 2011

I hope, but I almost bought a Carrot Cake today and will be very sad if I buy one before and then purple appears.

I really think they're telling the truth. I don't get why they'd discontinue what I thought were popular colors and then bring in new ones.

I just spoke with a Combi Rep ...
