These are in the catalog, but not supposed to be in store till 3/31 or so... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=28879806

Anyway, I'm super disappointed that the LATCH still comes threaded in the FF position :( They seriously need to make it as painless as possible for people to keep their newborns or fresh-out-of-the-infant-seat kids rearfacing, and this ain't it (it's fairly involved to change the LATCH from RF-FF-RF, and I get loads of very irked customers who can't figure this seat out for this reason). Also, still only one crotch strap position. It's really way too deep for newborns... nice for older kids, so not the worst problem, but is it really so hard to slice up the shell and test a shallower position?
It IS super duper cushy, can't beat the massive cushiness :). And the buckle pockets are super nifty, it's just a little slit on the side of the seat to park them.

I checked the LATCH label on the side... 40 pounds limit with LATCH. I couldn't find it in the manual, either because I wasn't reading close enough or because it was not highlighted (though they do say to tighten the harness and use the chest clip right because kids can be STRANGLED, I saw THAT, for sure, lol).
The label on the old seat says 48 pounds max for LATCH, it was in the same place (on the side of the seat, under the belt path).

Anyway, I sold one today, because the guy sent his wife and kid on an air flight and sure enough, they checked their old Symphony and the baggage guys broke it and he needed a replacement immediately. He did love the new cupholders, at least, lol.

Which buckle are they using? I was told they were going back to the IMMI buckle on the Symphony but not sure if that's what they actually did.

I have given them your feedback on the LATCH strap issue in the past but now I'm going to nag them about it until they do something or adequately justify why it comes out of the box that way. :p
