that the crotch buckle on the Maestro is the exact same buckle that Graco has switched to??

Graco's buckles are gray and the Evenflo buckles are black but they are the exact same buckle :p

Did Evenflo change their buckles in the last 1.5 years? I have a Maestro with a DOM of, I think, 10/10 (bought last January) and it has the same crotch buckle as my 08 EFTA, both of which are really easy to use. I hope mine don't poop out!

I'm off to look up stock photos to see if I can notice a difference...

I knew. snowbird25ca mentioned it in a thread awhile back.

I like the new buckle on my SR35; it's great. I only felt the need to mention this as someone above had said it was hard to use. Mine is very easy to use and I have not broken a fingernail with it yet, while on the old one I broke several pushing down on the button. LOL I also like how the tongues click in with a definitive "yes I am secured in!". (and if yours doesn't talk to you...you're holding it wrong ;))

I was just playing with my friends MR65 that was just bought a few months ago, and the new buckle on those are AWFUL! I just told her she should call Graco and ask for the old style one and see if they'd send it to her.

But... she brought up a good point that her wild child wouldn't be able to unbuckle himself and she'd rather it be a PITA for her then risk it be too easy for him to figure out!
