Athena · Aug 2, 2014

Anyone else get the email about this? I hadn't heard about anything new coming out.

Sneaky Britax

"I'll make your journeys happier WHEREVER you go." What could that be? Strollers and car seats don't go everywhere ... or am I taking it too literally.

Maybe a better redesigned baby carrier? That last clue seems to point to that.

Keeanh · Aug 2, 2014

It better be good. Like their answer to the 4Ever or something. If it's a new copy of a Baby Jogger stroller, I'm going to be annoyed

I'll also be annoyed if they've copied a Tula or something. I love that the good carrier market it almost exclusively WAH moms or small companies owned by moms.

That's what I'm thinking too. I guess we'll see!

I don't think the baby carrier market is big enough. To use the term "game changer" they must think this will be a BIG DEAL to the mainstream parent. I don't think they'd throw away this kind of build-up on a carrier or even a stroller. They don't have an all-terrain or jogging stroller, so I suppose that's a possibility. But I'm placing my bet on a 4-in-1 car seat.

There's at least one popular baby carrier company that actually labels it's carrier as "game changer" on the box, so it's not too much of a stretch! Lol

No but Britax owns BOB so they kinda do. I don't know that a fancy jogger is really a game changer

Maybe something like that new car seat/stroller all in one combo?

got the same email. here's to hoping for a foonf-ish seat. rigid latch would be easy for everyone to use

That's what I think it is. Hopefully a taller shell as well!

What have been names and categories Britax has been registering lately?

safeinthecar · Aug 3, 2014

Maybe they bought the patent for the Doona infant seat with wheels?

Frenchgirl · Aug 3, 2014

A backpack baby carrier?

They let Concourse and Palisade expire in the car seat category.

They registered a logo of a head with arms up in April 2014.

Nothing else for unused trademarks, unless they are registered under something other than Britax.

The only other thing that jumped out at me... They registered "Britax BOB" in 2013 but check out the description:

How about a seat that detects when a child is in it, combined with knowing when the vehicle isn't running/moving, and/or interior temp gets too high.

All of which alert parents/drivers by text, email, phone, etc...

Don't know how something that's not a significant innovation re: safety could really be a "game-changer".

Swanky fabric? Really??

nataliem257 · Aug 3, 2014

It would almost have to be something brand new, a seat that we haven't even thought of yet. Maybe a 4 in 1, maybe something else. Whatever it is has to be pretty big, the didn't even do this when click tight was released.

The First Years already tried that with the IAlert, and IME, it didn't work well. At all.

I could have sworn I saw a video in my fb feed recently referring to game changer and britax and it was some mom of one who was super thrilled with the click tight on the frontier because it is sooooooo hard to lean into a car seat to install it.
