There are a few pics of it on their FB page! Not sure if the link will work, but I will give it a try! It will be shipping in a few weeks!

Very interesting! I hope I don't get crucified for saying this but the shape almost makes me think of a cheap version of the Foonf lol!

I wonder how far it can be used RFing- with the head rest up??

I wonder if Brus will be carrying it? Can't wait to check it out and for someone here to order one.

Jessica61624 · Apr 28, 2012

Hopefully the turbo isn't far behind! J really like it.

Syllieann · Apr 28, 2012

It's cute. I hope it can be used rf w/ headrest above shell.

I hope it isn't real heavy. I'd love to have a convertible for Chase that would be easy to move in and out of the car. For example, right now I have the FR85 and the Argos installed because my most frequent riders are Nour and Zain. However, on Monday, I am picking Ethan and Chase up from daycare and they are spending two days with us, so now I need to take the Argos out and put one of the convertibles in for Chase. I loathe moving the RXT beast in and out, plus I have to move the harness down again. I do have the TFP, but it's kind of big too. I can't wait to see this one "in person." If it is as easy to install as the MR and Argos (especially since I think it has the nicer LATCH connectors), I just might want this!

It looks really nice! And narrower than their other seats, I just might get that seat to work in my husband's car

agave · Apr 28, 2012

I'd trade in one of my Radians for that if it's more upright than the Myride FF I need that cup holder

If you look at most of the pictures, it looks almost like a MA. The headrest says 8 positions, so I'm wondering if you can use it RFing with head above shell, but in headrest? That would be good for tall kids if so. Looks like a nice seat.

lol... but I think that's one of the GOOD things about it... if it goes as tall as the foonf... because one of the big pluses for the foonf in my eyes is how the base and other design features make it be one of those seats that LOOKS like it should take up a lot more room than it DOES. AND it's narrow...

so if this seat can go as tall (or close to as tall) as the foonf and be like it with the narrow thing and taking up less space, then great! because not many can afford the foonf price.

Now what might get one of us crucified (not on here, but maybe by graco) is that I think this looks like (except the base can't be switched out, I assume) the smart seat SHOULD have been... forget trying to make it an all in one seat (not that they didn't do a decent job, but to also make it switch bases, something had to go to make it lighter and more user friendly and do one job really really well instead of doing all 3 jobs okay)

And again, if it's like the foonf in all the ways I hope, then I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see rigid latch (and clek, if you are listening, we also want a set for rearfacing!) because city parents in cabs (well, the ones that have latch) or hired cars (more the hired cars... I can see beyonce springing for the foonf down the line) could so benefit from the ease of it.

Good point. I really really REALLY like the SmartSeat. The concept of a convertible with a base (that doesn't come at Orbit prices) is genius. But it didn't really NEED to become a booster and it was way huge... I have zero hopes of this seat fitting a newborn though. Graco is better at taller slots than shorter.

But overall it looks like a contender! Um...bring on the colors Graco!

does this RF to 45?

I think it's 40

Phineasmama · Apr 28, 2012

I just assumed it would be 40 as well. I feel like we would have heard something about it if Graco were coming out with a 45 lb seat.

Phineasmama · Apr 29, 2012

FYI they've posted the specs from Graco. Doesn't really answer my questions about how long it will be used RFing but it's something.

bfmarini · Apr 29, 2012

I've put the Graco Size4Me 70 Branson up on our site with the current specifications from Graco. If there is any additional information you'd like to see, post the questions here or on our Facebook and I'll get the answers asap.

The seat is scheduled to start shipping 5/15 ....

msg221 · Apr 29, 2012

Going by the approximate width measurement, it's an inch narrower than the TFP, but it doesn't have sides that stick out like the TFP, so I really hope it will work better for a 3 across so maybe I could leave it in all the time instead of playing musical seats. I also like the lower profile. It doesn't sit up too high.

Phineasmama · Apr 29, 2012

I like the look of it, I really do! But I'm a little bit confused WHY they made this seat. I feel like they don't need 3 convertibles, and that this and the MyRide are kind of similar. Or is this going to replace the Smart Seat?

msg221 · Apr 29, 2012

Doesn't this have a no re-thread harness? That right there makes me like it better than the MR. And as I mentioned before, it has a lower profile, two crotch buckle positions and maybe it will not be so reclined when FF. I hope BRU will be carrying it so I can play with it and maybe try it in my car!
