I wonder if this is what I saw in Mexico last winter.

I have LOVED the FP seats that have been out in the past. The original group-- the Safe Embrace Infant, Safe Embrace Convertible, Safe Embrace II Convertible, Stay in View Infant, and Grow with Me-- were my favorites (the Safe Embrace booster was meh for me). I loved those seats.
I would be THRILLED if FP brought those seats back to the US market.

Yes, I loved the Safe Embrace convertible! I had two and hated it when they expired!
I also liked the Safe Voyage Deluxe except for the covers. Ick.
Uh, what's wrong with the Team Tex designs?
FP was really cutting edge. I wish they didn't stop designing and making seats.
The safe embrace was massively wide, and short in the harness, but it was color coded, had eps foam, and built in lock offs.
They had a higher weight harness seat.
Then the stay in view. What a concept. Build in the mirror so it's not a projectile. And they took off the handle, so it was nice and narrow.

well, I'm excited about all except the harnessed booster... the nania airway and the babytrend seat have shown us this is not a design that makes for easy installs or an easy to use seat.
It looks like Nania (or their parent company) is the one behind this generation of Fisher price branded seats, not Britax this time.
the weight limits suggest they aren't going to be available here and the store it says they are sold at are a british store.

Yeah, I had a Safe Embrace convertible, a Grow with Me harnessed booster, a Stay in View and a Safe Embrace booster back in the day and they were all really great seats for their time. They also made one of, if not the first, higher weight harness seat. The name is escaping me, but I remember a lady in my tech class (my cert is long expired) had 2 of them and we had fun playing. They installed with a long belt path and went up to 60lbs.
I wish they would bring some of those designs back with modern weight limits. I was all excited when I saw the title...not like I have kids to really ride in them anyway though!

The Futura 20/60! I loved that seat, too! I had the overhead shield/tray one, which wasn't as awesome as the five-point one, but it was still cool. Scatterbunny had the five-point one (I think...).

I knew it started with an F...I don't think I would have remembered Futura though. It was a cool seat....kind of Radian-ish in a way with the low profile.

Are these new to the UK? or been around for awhile?
I almost really loved my Safe Embrace. I got it shortly after they first came out. Loved it until DD could play with the harness release lever strap, and the lever would stay up, and she'd lean a bit and her harness would be completely loose. They had a recall on it and I hate to wait over a month for replacement parts, in the meantime my kid could get completely loose in her seat with minimal effort and once I replaced the harness release mechanism, a couple months later it started doing the SAME thing. I talked to FP and they told me that was impossible as they'd fixed it. So I threw the seat in the trash and bought my Century NextStep DX.

So I threw the seat in the trash and bought my Century NextStep DX.I love, love, loved my Stay in Views!!! I also was super pleased w/the Britax made for FP knock off of the Decathlon and the booster. Mine both just expired. Used well by many, many kids!!
And I would buy another seat like the SIV in a heartbeat, if I had another babe.
