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??
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.
