That looks like the same pattern wal-mart has. I wonder if they will get the others? I plan to buy this seat in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait!

That's great other places are starting to carry it! I'm so happy I finally have one on the way from WM too!

Is this Matrix? Scroll down and look at the item number- it ends in MTX.

Hmmm, it does have a different model number than the other one, but the only difference in the cover I saw was the gray looks a little lighter on the Amazon one.

Yeah, if that is truly the only diff I'd rather have the WM one. The dark grey would stay cleaner looking. Wonder if Graco can tell us. I'm tempted to preorder from Amazon but I'd hate to have to pay to ship that heavy thing back.

GREAT!!!

I have been waiting for this carseat to be available at Walmart again, I placed an order this morning and its scheduled to arrive Feb 8th - Feb 11th.. HOWEVER... I had to pay the shipping and tax on it. (there arent any Walmarts near me)
Now Amazon has it and since Im an Amazon Prime member... I get the 2 day shipping for FREE and dont have to pay the tax. The only drawback is that I wont receive it until probably the 1st week in March.

Do I really need to have this carseat sooner than later and pay for the additional $32????

What to do???

It IS Matrix! At least I assume it is. I asked if the one on Amazon was Matrix and if so, if there was a diff in fabric because they look the same. She answered that the Matrix is the same material, just a slightly diff shade of gray. So I guess I'll order that one- free shipping and no tax. I won't have to return it- I'll love it right? I feel like besides the Regent, I don't have much of a choice for reharnessing my tiny 6 yo. I am not waiting til March or who knows when for the True Fit, and the Frontier is still a dream as far as I'm concerned.

ITA with you...these are the exact reasons we bought the GN now. Not many other choices available for our second seat. My DS is huge...only 4yo (for 2 weeks) 44lbs. and 44" tall with a 17"+ torso. When I reinstalled our GN after letting it air out, he needed the top harness slot after all. (Originally I thought second to top) I'm keeping it though because I can't afford another SG for hubby's car. UGH! I hope the Britax dream is going to be all that everyone is saying and more! :thumbsup:

Whoah, that's a long torso. I think my 6 yo's is about 15.5, so she should be good for a while in the Nautilus. I have another dd to pass it down to also. It seems like a lot of parents with stringbean or long torsoed kids are having seat trouble. I know for me, she is mature enough for a booster but is so skinny that it just doesn't seem the safest. If she was the same height and maturity, but huskier, I'd feel fine about her being in a booster.
