Evenflo Secure Kid 100??

This:

It says $64, 20-40 lbs and up to 43 inches tall harnessed, use as booster up to 100 lbs (I think) after....it looks just like the 300 and 400...I can't find it on Evenflo.com.

If they made it go to 50 lbs, I'd order one right now!

Did they actually make a new seat or is it a misprint??

Interesting. I'm tempted to buy it just to see.

BUT my nearly 4 yr old already weighs about 37-38 lbs...and I don't think I want to booster him right at 40 lbs, b/c he'll be there before 5 yrs old I'm sure. Although, I do think he'd ride well in a booster and we'd have no problems on short trips.

So what are you supposed to do if your kid hits 40 lbs and 43.3" at different times? 43.3" WTF?

It wasn't mentioned in the Evenflo webinar a few weeks ago. But if it is, IF you have a lightweight kid, it'd be ok. Who makes a 40 pound forward facing seat anymore?

It was mentioned on car-seat blog from life savers. It's replacing the Chase and only available at Walmart iirc.

New Chase model (based on the Maestro) will replace the existing Chase model and will be sold at Walmart. 22-40 lbs only with 5-pt harness

I get really excited when I see more and more budget friendly seats being put in the market. Wished it harnessed to 50# but.... it's a start!

What I don't understand is why its priced the same as a maestro but #10 less harnessed. It's the same shell.

Hmmmm....maybe it's the region the Maestro is sold? Here, the Maestro is around $80 in stores. One was found at my local TRU on clearance for $75. But you are right. The Maestro can be purchased for the same price online.

Yeah, I don't get it. It seems like a nice enough seat but I think any combination seat made these days should have at least a 50 pound weight limit, if not more.

Does it make a good booster at least? I know that is the big issue with the Maestro.

It is based on the Maestro shell but they stripped some of the reinforcements that enabled the Maestro to be rated to 50 lbs - that's why this one only goes to 40 lbs. Wal-Mart insists on ridiculously low price points so manufacturers have to do whatever they can to meet Wally's demands (if they want to keep their product on the shelf). That's the reason this seat will only be available at Wal-Mart.

ETA: the MSRP on the Maestro is $79-85. You can often find it cheaper on sale but the Maestro is a higher priced seat.

Are the slots the same? At least it makes a decent booster, better than the Chase.

Yes, harness slot heights are the same and yes it should offer better belt fit in booster mode than the Chase. So it's progress - even by Wally's standards.

This seat just showed up in Canada, being carried by Canadian Tire, with a regular price of $90 and a sale price of $67.49. A harnessed seat with that height at that price is unheard of here. Even if it does only harness to 40lbs it's a very affordable option for a kid of the right build.

I saw this at Target today. Plain SecureKid. No number. Clearance repackaged for $91. Goes to 65 lbs though.

I don't expect my youngest to hit 40 lbs until 6ish it would be a great spare for when she turns FF.

:yeahthatlove: to both of those. I'm going to go play with it tomorrow. Hopefully it installs easily in DH's truck and the tether is long enough. I might get it for a spare since Alice would love a purple seat.

You can order a tether extender from Evenflo. I don't remember what they cost, but it attaches to the tether on your seat...adding a good 2 ft to it.
