Today Buy Buy Baby (the store I work at) had a Vendor Expo. In addition to Chicco, Fisher-Price, and other vendors, Brian from Britax was there. I cornered him (I should have been working 
) to ask him some questions. Here is what he told me.
First and foremost they are coming out with more BOYISH covers. He couldn't tell me exactly what they are going to look like (since his meeting with the fashion buyers is next week) but we can expect more covers soon.
Next the Decathlon has/is being pulled from stores and will be revamped and re-released as the Decathlon Click-n-Safe. This seat will be limited to selective retailers. Expect this as late as April 2009.
The Boulevard Click-n-Safe will be released more widespread as early as October of this year. It is on a 90 trial run at Babies r Us and once that ends it will be released with more cover choices, including a Cowmooflage (ala the Diplomat).
The Frontier is going to come out with more covers shortly.
He told me that Britax believes that the Boulevard sales will be higher than the Marathon in the coming Quarters. SIP is important to alot of parents.
There are no plans to discontinue the Regent. The Frontier was supposed to replace the Monarch.
The Companion is being Discontined and they will be releasing a new travel system at some point in 2009.
Alot of stuff is going to come out during ABC in September (?). He said to look out for the new items then. Otherwise he said their line is rather complete at the moment.
All in all it was fun to meet all the vendors. I also got to meet HEVY and her adorable daugther. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I only worked to 12pm (had to pick up my kiddos!).
