ETA - It's here! See post #7 - thoughts?

It should be here on Wed (love diapers.com and their super fast shipping).

Hoping it works better in our Dakota than the PWSGL she's been riding in.

That's all :)

The red and black because it was on sale for $75. DH was already complaining about getting another seat so I went with what was most cost effective :p

(and I figured I could always order a different cover later, especially if they decide to make the tan/green one)

We have a red/black Vivo, so gorgeous!

I'm a little disappointed in the seat depth/leg support though. It's ok for my (almost)6 yr old, but my 8 yr old looks like a monster in it :p

I :love: my Vivo for my 1/06 DD too - it fits her beautifully, even when she falls asleep. The seat depth I think might be an issue in the future, but I'll just get a foam cooler or something :eek:. So long as I dont give up the great fit!

Well, it just came. Didn't open it yet but it looks like the Manuf date is 8/2010 :thumbsdown:

Not sure if I want to keep it being almost a year and a half old already. On the other hand it was on sale and by the time it expires DD will be 10 & DS will be almost 9.

Thoughts?

How much of a sale.? That would help me decide.

Did you order from Amazon by chance?

I'm only wondering because I got a NBD Vivo that was an open box return (everything in plastic, tags attached, etc). It had a Amazon return printout in the box still with the original buyer's info :eek: and 'reason for return' being that it was already a year and a half old - pretty sure it has an 8/2010 DOM too. I was super excited that it was *only* a year and a half old, since I got it for half of retail.

Maybe you could return it to Amazon and wait for it to show up on NBD :whistling:

ETA: nevermind, just re-read the original post that it was from diapers.com

Yes - diapers.com (so free return shipping if I decide to send it back).

But it looks like it was only sent to them in Dec 2011, there's a shipping label/info sticker on it from Recaro to Quidsi, Inc (Diapers.com parent company apparently from a google search) dated 12-6-11.

So maybe Recaro has a backlog of red Vivo's they're only now getting rid of?

ETA - this has definitely never been opened before (I haven't opened it yet but no cut tape/re-tape or anything like that.

No, I wasn't saying yours was a return, just that I bought mine AS a return, and the original owner's reason for return was the same as yours.

A few pictures (in the house, when DH gets home we'll try it in his truck).

I can see how this is great for sleepers - those headwings are very supportive!
