The Evenflo chase lx dunagan at Walmart says that the harness limit is 40 pounds. Online (on evenflos site) says both 40 and 65 pounds in the description. I haven't kept up on changes and new seats so I am confused. It would be awesome if they are 65 pounds now. One of my daycare kids needs a new seat. She is 3yo and is still in a comfortsport. she actually still fit until about a month ago. I have been reminding her mom, but you know.... She is petite and mom will keep her harnessed as long as the seat lasts. She will nor rear face her so I am just going for an affordable option for her.

Thanks!!

Evenflo's website clearly states a 65 pound harness rating. I asked on evenflo's facebook page if that was correct. (I hope so!)

It also says birth to booster. We know that's wrong!

Wow... that's a big oops (the birth to booster part.) (Well, and the 40/65 discrepancy.)

I also see 40lbs. Nothing about 65lbs. So weird.

Methinks someone needs to put on their proofreading glasses in the Evenflo office (Remember how long it took them to update their page that the Tribute was 35lbs RF?)

Unless I am just very tired this morning, it appears that they have changed the description now and only show the 40 pounds. I really hope that there weren't too many parents who saw that and will use the seat to 65 pounds.

Thanks for the help ladies. I think I might still recommend the seat for her. She is very petite and will probably be under 40 pounds until she is 6. I might suggest the Maestro, but knowing her mom, it is better to suggest one that is at the store right up the road. LOL

Another good low cost option would be the Maestro.

The SecureKid 100 is another good low cost option http://www.walmart.com/ip/Evenflo-SecureKid-100-Booster-Car-Seat-Olivia/20656843 and while it won't last long as a booster, it's definitely a better booster than the Chase.

The new Chase is the SecureKid 100. That's not an official name (it's not on Evenflo's site, and according to the reps at KIM it was leaked and improperly used). But Walmart has it. So I see your Walmart link, and raise you an Evenflo (which took me two tries to type out properly). http://www.evenflo.com/product.aspx?id=421&pfid=6166

That's real shady of them to see my facebook comment (I'm sure they did.), change the info on the website, and not even acknowledge that they made a mistake and have ow fixed it.

That's not at all uncommon, though. We hear all the time of people leaving notes that something is not right. They may also have heard of it through several people, and rather than figure out who said what when and who was first they just fix it and move on.

I know they read facebook! They answered me just the other day about the tribute changing the rfing weight limit. They could at least acknowledge my post about the chase harness limit, saying "Sorry that was an error. The chase lx has a harness weight limit of 22-40 pounds and then converts to booster for 40-110 pounds."
