I think I saw this at my Walmart today. I just remember thinking I didn't recognize it and I was wondering what it was. It was in stock, but not on display out of the box. I meant to write it down and the girls sidetracked me. I'm gonna go back and check tomorrow to see if it was this.

I know! I was seriously pondering it myself but I was too embarassed to tell dh that I was running to Walmart at 8:30 to look at a carseat. I already ran errands all day. Plus I'm now drinking a glass of champagne (leftover from the New Year's party dh and I had with ourselves at 9 pm lastnight). I'll be checking this thread to see if anyone reports back from Walmart, lol.

Looks like a nice seat! I'm curious to hear more about it once people actually start getting them.

I've been thinking of what to get to replace DDs Scenera (her spare seat) since she's nearly outgrown it. I didn't want to put the money down for a Marathon since the seat doesn't get a whole lot of use and it needs to install well in a variety of cars without headrests so the Radian and Apex were out. The Nautilus looks like it might fit the bill! DD will probably have officially outgrown the Scenera by the time she's three, so I'm alright with her FF.

Hmmm...I like the looks of this. I may have to go to Walmart as well, just to see if it's there. It would be interesting to see how my tall 3 year old fits in it....:thumbsup:

I'm going to WM this morning. Fingers crossed that they have it. This would be an awesome awesome carpool seat- it would fit every kid I drive!

Yes! Buy it and let us know how it is!! My Wal Mart doesn't even have the Triumph Advance yet so I'm not holding out any hope that we'll get it soon. But it would work good for Taylor - and turn into a booster...hmmm...maybe?

I called my local Walmart & asked.... The stores around me are setting up their new modules THIS WEEK.... so basically, either they get it this week or they dont get it.

*Crossed Fingers*

I have decided I want 2 of them.... even though I only "need" one.

Alas, it was not in our most local WalMart, but it did prompt me to call WalMart Home Office and start the ball rolling to light a fire under their arses to get the EfTA and the Graco Nautilus in local stores.
I'm supposed to get a return call in a couple business days to see what can be done.:rolleyes:

ETA: I should note that the baby dept store manager responsible for the car seats said that they have a new modular to put out in the next few days, and that it (the GN) *might* be on there, but that she doesn't *know* until they open the modular.:rolleyes:

I just went to WM yesterday (before I read this), but did not see this. They didn't even have any Uptowns. :(

Another poster on the other thead said she called Graco & was told that it should b in all Walmarts by the end of Febuary.

Now... is that ALL walmarts or just SuperWalmarts... or just select walmarts?

I have several walmarts near by. I went to the one with the 'good' car seats, even though its the sketchiest of all of them. LOL. I talked to the department head and unfortunately she hasn't heard of it and they do not have any new modular as of right now.

For those who have seen it, has it been at regular or super walmarts? I know there seams to be a huge difference in the baby merchandise between our super and regular walmarts.

I ventured out in the frigid cold to see this seat at my local super walmart (even though I don't need a seat, lol). No luck. They did have a new booster - cosco pronto 29.95, the protek on clearnace for $20, a new pink scenera, but a very limited selection.

I will try the next town tomorrow- my friend just got a clearnace dora lbb and a princess hbb. Her kids have been out of seats for years, but it appears she is finally listening to me alittle.

In telling my other friend how happy I was that she finally got seats, I shared a few more stories (she has received all the links, videos - she just thought that the convenience and idependence of the seatbelt was better/easier for her child - she moved her petite not quite 3 yr old into a booster at 2.75 and 27#, close enough, you know:thumbsdown: She wants to see the new seat too, so maybe I can finally get her little one back in a harness.

I checked my WM and no deal. I have a contact who works in that section though, and she said she'd call me if they get any in. Get this - they've got a GAP in the booster section, and she said it's for incoming stock but she doesn't know what! It could be just more TBs or something, or it could be something entirely new.

I think if they get them in I'm going to buy one, take pics and measurements, and then return it. :D
