Why in the world is the Momentum being phased out??

If anything, I'd think the Symphony would be booted since there are so many similar-specced ones out there. The Momentum had a lot [of headroom] going for it (yes, its wide-ish)...what gives?? or is the new Titan 65 supposed to add a *lot* more RF time than the Symphony?

I think the Momentum is too much like the Triumph 65.

hmmmmmmmmm good to know. Although, I too wonder why the momentum. It gives 1/2" higher slots than the symphony FF and it's only 1/2" shorter when RF. :shrug: Maybe it's because it doesn't turn into a booster like the others? I really liked it and have been contemplating it for my son in the next few months. I guess my decision has been made for me.

I like the momentum better than the triumph, I hate those knobs. I like the symphony too, but more for ffing than rfing because it sits lower.

Supposedly the Triumph is getting a slight harness-mechanism adjustment: http://carseatblog.com/17742/lifesavers-conference-2012-wrap-up/ (sorry, url isn't pasting in to link it directly).

Generally they discontinue seats that don't sell as well.

I wish they would have gotten rid of the Triumph 65 instead because the knobs are a pain.

I love the Symphony! The Momentum looks like a more padded EFTA to me, but I've never seen one IRL.

I will cry if they ever discontinue the Triumph! At least if they did so while I still have kids in car seats.

The knobs are changing. I suppose they thought they'd just make the triumph better?

The knobs will still be knobs. They'll still stick in contoured seats.

I have that problem with the knobs the red part that loosens the harness sticks into the seat so that sometimes to loosen the harness I have to uninstall the seat I hate the knobs.

Momentum has a ton of height-room for RF growth. More than the Triumph. and a LOT more than the Symphony.

Pics in order: Symphony, Triumph, Radian, Momentum (all taken on same day- bear in mind only the Radian was installed in the car). DS was 35 months and ~14" torso I believe and probably 23" seated height.
