Target Carseat Aisle Redesign

I was at Target last week and they redid the carseat aisle. Half the seats are on display like 10 feet in the air! It is a lot of the rarer seats, too. (I.e ones I want to look at and try). They have a lot more seats, but man I hate the redesign. I don't know how you can try the seats other than getting a staff member and even then it would be a pain to get them down IF you even can. (They are angled, so I assume secured somehow)

Anyone elses switch? I usually don't buy seats there, but I do like to try them there since it is close.

Yup. They have them at our Target now too. It's cool to be able to see the seats, but I'm not sure what good it is when they're so high up. It would be nice if they had them lower just to try out. They did have a Radian RXT on display though. It was separate from the seats higher up.

I feel claustrophobic with the new design, even though it is neat to see those seats!

I have bought most of our seats from Target on clearance. :eek:

I love/hate it too. The thing I dislike the most is the fact that even the "accessible" seats are now zip tied to the shelf. How am I supposed to play with car seats I'm never going to buy now???

(Shockingly, I've only ever bought 2 car seats at Target. A Sureride that lives at the IL's, and a Kidfit that I returned when I realized it required buckling when unoccupied.)

I didn't realize the lower seats are zip tied! Ugh. That is ridiculous. I like the new selection, but really pointless and not promoting safety if you cannot try them.

I agree it feels very closed in with the seats so high. It made the aisle darker, too.

I know. What's the point of having them on display if you can't check them out. We should get on their FB page and let them know!

The lower ones aren't zip tied at any of the stores I've been at around here. And when I was at Target this evening, the Radian (up high) looked a little disheveled, so I am guessing you can ask for the seats to be brought down.

I kind of like the enclosed feeling, actually. It makes me feel less "on-display" as I am playing with seats.

Mine has been redesigned, and so have the ones at a few others I've gone too. They weren't zip tied here. I took th extend2fit down from the shelf to play with.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who made happy noises when you saw all them fancy seats. My friend was with me and just laughed...

"Oh my gosh! They sell RECAROS?!"
"This seat is like a super speciality seat!" (Radian)
"And this seat is crap."

Should have read up here before posting the same thing in Shopping...whoops. Anyway, that Orbit and Phil & Ted's looked nice, even 5 feet above my head, lol.

That new aisle slowed down my quick trip!
But yes, I want to play with the seats first. Then decide to buy.
