Okay... for those who don't know me, I'm a regular from the babycenter carseat board and have had contact with Russ Berger from early on in the life of the Radian.
Well, I have probably harrassed the guy to tears over the Radian, the Monterey, and between the two, given his email address to SOOO many (which I got from my orginal questions/complaints about the trouble people originally had with the Radian so that I could send him picks and videos of those problems)
ANYWAY....
So I approached him with my thought that the Monterey should also be available as JUST the base (similar to the turbobooster... how they sell it with AND without the back)
And he says my "homework assignment" is to figure out how much it should cost.
Obviously I want to be fair... and I'm coming to all the boards I'm a member of (finally joined this one) and asking for your thoughts.
if you were in the market for a backless booster... (your child was too tall for the highback monterey, your car wouldn't work with a highback, you needed to fit 3 in a row, whatever reason)... keeping in mind that the Moneterey's base measures the same widths as the cosco backlesses (which are GREAT for 3 across... so narrow) at 15 3/4" wide at the widest, but are deeper than other boosters at 14" deep, and it's latch compatible, how much would be fair??
I was thinking somewhere around 40-50 dollars.
But tell me what you guys think.
the highback version is going to be 129
the clek olli (only other latch compatible backless) retails for 90 dollars.
