WOO-HOO!!!!

I was so hoping the X-Fix would stay available! (And the LATCH Guides. Yes, I can't stop harping on them. I :love: them.) The Aton, well, it's an awesome infant seat (though I have no love for infant seats. ;) )

I really hope this is true!!!

I love my Aton, and it is the first seat DH can easily install correctly!

Until I hear from the company, I'm skeptical. The Aton, especially, is such a great seat that I'd like to see stick around, but, yeah, I'm skeptical.

If it's a press release shouldn't CarseatBlog have received one? Who's this random dude getting it?

I don't know how information is passed or who it is passed to first. But I do know that at work (Buy Buy Baby) we have received no information that the seat would not continue to be sold. It is still active in our computer system for reordering.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Interesting...

I can say that I personally spoke with their rep regarding the discontinuation. But I never saw a press release that officially "put it in writing". We definitely have not received any info to the contrary. Could they have changed their minds? I'm skeptical but it's possible. <fingers crossed>

We'll update as soon as we're able to confirm or deny this rumor.

I am trying to confirm this with the main Cybex representatives this morning. Of course, one is already at ABC Kids and has a vacation email so I'll try to call later. I will say it is curious that there was never an official press release and the only other place I can find that reported the news is magic beans.

This came in this morning's email from ThinkPR, the public relations firm for Cybex. Still waiting for confirmation from the people at Regal Lager:

CYBEX TO CONTINUE SELLING THE ATON AND SOLUTION X-FIX IN THE U.S. MARKET

New York, NY (September 19, 2011) - Regal Lager, the U.S. distributor for CYBEX, recently announced that they will no longer sell the CYBEX Aton and Solution X-fix within the U.S.; It is important to reiterate CYBEX’s commitment to the U.S., let consumers know that we are currently working with Regal Lager to find a solution which will guarantee the continued sale of CYBEX car seats within the U.S. market. This is not a quality or safety issue nor will it have any impact on the sales and distribution of CYBEX strollers and baby carriers. The CYBEX range of strollers and baby carriers will continue to be sold throughout the U.S.
