Is this a unique seat?

I saw this infant seat at target as part of a baby jogger travel system. Does anyone know if it's really made by baby jogger or if it's kind of a copy of some other seat?
They seem to call it the "city go."
They said it was to 35 lbs or 32 inches but I have to say it looked smaller than some of the other infant buckets displayed nearby that go to 30-35 lbs.

The click-ins at the side, for the stroller, look like a higher-end one but I can't think of which one it is off the top of my head. It will come to me eventually! LOL I did a seat with those click-ins a while back for a client.

From their press release:

"The Vue Lite travel system marks the debut of the City GO infant car seat. Baby Jogger partnered in development of the City GO with a leading car seat manufacturer with over 10 years of experience and millions of units sold."

I'm trying to look at the trademarks they used to see who the "leading manufacturer" might be. If anyone has an eye for ID-ing seats it might be easier though

Part of it reminds me of a keyfit. Which car seat manufacturers have over ten years of experience, but not say fifteen or twenty (since they said ten)?

I looked all over the seat and bottom, but not under the cover or anything. I thought I might find someone else's trademark.
But I used to have the fisher price safe voyage deluxe convertible that was basically a britax marathon shell, and that didn't say "Britax" anywhere, I don't think.

It looks like the maxi cosi Mico to me. I have no idea how long maxi cosi has been making car seats here but it doesn't seem like it's been that long...

I saw a pic of the Urbini Petal (haven't seen one IRL) and it has the same-looking area where you could thread the lap belt through for the baseless installation.

I thought Maxi Cosi Mico, too. So, it makes sense if it's from a Dorel company.

So does the base. I wondered if the Petal was somehow related to Dorel seats. I saw it in person and couldn't believe it didn't have Dorel stamped on it anywhere. And that Baby Jogger seat is definitely a twin of the Urbini Petal.

The base reminds me of the On Board.

It has to be Goodbaby... They are on a huge growth track. They bought/created Urbini, Evenflo, cybex just in the last year. They are/were a supplier for maxi cosi, so they definitely have the mold for that style.

I was wondering the same thing. I spotted it on a Vue in Target a few weeks ago. I have a couple of pregnant friends and love the Vue, so I was hoping it was a decent seat.

I've found a couple references to graco contracting out to Goodbaby, so that would make sense.

Unless the deal didn't go threw or something.
