With all of the talk about the Compass/Learning Curve seats, I thought I would mention that the last time we were at the RC2 Outlet Store (October, I think? Its on our way to my parents' house), I noticed that they did have car seats. If I remember correctly, I saw a lot of Compass boosters. Not sure how good the manufacture dates were or what models they were though -- we weren't in the market for a seat and noticed them as we were leaving -- much later than planned as usual. They also have John Deere, Thomas, Bob the Builder, First Years, and Lamaze products. We have shopped there a lot for Thomas stuff, as our DS is a big train buff and into Thomas. The prices are often good -- comparable to the stores or less, sometimes much less. We always see a good deal on something and spend way too much. Good thing we usually have limited car space! The store is located in Dyersville, IA. If you look on a map where Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin all come together, you will see Dubuque, IA. Dyersville is about 30 minutes west of Dubuque on Highway 20. It is also home to the National Farm Toy Museum (DS is also into tractors, especially John Deere) and the Field of Dreams (remember the movie -- the ball fields are still there, mostly). Anyway, here's the website for the RC2 Outlet Store -- you can't order online, but in the store, they say you can call and order over the phone if they have what you are looking for.
