Need help identifying discontinued seats - Measurements/Data forum

MomToEliEm · Aug 15, 2012

There have been a lot of new seats released lately, which is making the measurements/data forums a lot larger. The convertible seat list now spans 2 pages which isn't always obvious that people need to click on "page 2" to see all the seats. It was suggested to move discontinued seats into a "Discontinued Seats" subfolder.

I am aware of some of the seats that are discontinued, but not sure on all of them. Would y'all mind helping me to identify which seats are no longer produced and sold? Just reply here with the seat name and I will move it.

Here are links to each of the folders where the seats are listed. Some seats have already been moved so that is why you may not see all the ones you might have seen previously.

Convertible Seats list
Combination/Forward Facing Only Harnessed Seats list
Booster Seats list

Graco SafeSeat Step 1
Britax Companion
Combi Centre
Evenflo Embrace (22 lb version) (I think!)

Britax Diplomat 40
Evenflo Triumph (40lb harness version)
Safety 1st Uptown
Sunshine Kids Radian

These are still available as "Classic" versions from Target though, right?
Britax Advocate CS 65
Britax Boulevard 65
Britax Marathon 65

Looks like Evenflo still makes the 22 pound version as I found it at Sears and Walmart online as well as the Evenflo site. They label it as the Evenflo Embrace Mini.

Britax Advocate CS 65
Britax Boulevard 65
Britax Marathon 65

The Britax site shows a Classic for the roundabout and the marathon but none of the others so I moved them to the discontinued folder as well as added "classic" to the titles for the ones still around.

Thanks for your help in going through the lists!

The Chart Air one, the manual link goes to the manual for the OnSide Air and those are different seats... I found the Chart Air one for you http://www.safety1st.com/usa/esp/DJGFiles/ProductDocuments/4358-5592 Chart Air 65.pdf

and it's 5-40lbs RF not 4-40. HTH! Thanks for keeping all these up... I can't imagine not having them!

Thanks! I got it corrected.

How do you - or do you - plan to handle differences in Canadian seats? With our new regs there are now some differences in instructions, most notably with infant seats and handle positions. Since you were mucking around with stuff anywhere just thought I'd throw that out there.

MomToEliEm · Aug 15, 2012

I am mostly focusing on USA instructions, but if someone tells me the differences, I don't mind adding the info for those specific fields with a note on which is us and which is Canadian

I need to do a mass update for expiration dates as I know many changed recently.

The Evenflo Chase/Express as we know it has been discontinued. There is a new seat based on the Maestro with the Chase name. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=228514

The Symphony is also being discontinued or already has been. Recaro Como, Signo and Young Sport are gone. Trendz Eurosport is gone.

I noticed there are not entries for the Evenflo Titan 65, SecureKid 100 and Recaro Euro.

All Evenflo seats have a 4 year minimum for booster mode now.

I pulled up the Amp on the evenflo site and it states 3 years minimum http://www.evenflo.com/product.aspx?id=377&pfid=4731. Some of their other dedicated boosters also list age 3. Do you know if the 4 year minimum only applies to combination seats or all seats?

It's for all seats. It was in the Evenflo webinar. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=222730 Summary post 3.

The Generations is going too, right?

I thought it was the Momentum, not the Symphony that was discontinued?

I think the Combi Dakota is gone, and is the X-Fix available in the US anymore?

And thank you for doing this! I thought I was going crazy the other day when I couldn't find the True Fit on the list, it took me forever to realize it was on page 2.

EmmaCPST · Aug 16, 2012

Also the 22 pound version of the Shuttle is gone.

And I dunno if it's even possible to keep up with Dorel's ever changing names, but there is a 65 pound AOE now with taller top slots called the Alpha Elite, plus the Aquos and the Able which I think are both on the Chart platform? And there is an Eddie Bauer version of the Scenera 40 called the Sport. Oh, and the Maxi Cosi Prezi, and I believe the Priori is gone isn't it?

Yes, the Generations is going/gone.

You might be right about that. Hmmm. Maybe it says in the Evenflo update thread I linked earlier.

Thanks for everyone's help on this. I am working on getting everything edited, moved, or added though it is taking a little while. I just wish some of these manufacturers would stick to one name for seat and for others not to try to use the same name for different seats. It sure makes things confusing.

Feel free to pass along info on all these new seats as well as edits for existing seats.

Also, I was thinking I bet if you did a role call of what seats you're missing measurements for - people around here would take them for you.

You are awesome for maintaining the whole thing - I refer to it all the time!
