Brooke? There is no Brooke in the US.
Bravo, Matrix, Galaxy, and Reese. Does this mean Canada is getting a girly Nauti???

Sorry, I just bought a Brooke MA cover on Swap.
Reece & Bravo. I should have just cut & pasted from the email. Like this: "I know only that Reese,and Bravo are being considered."
Just trying to be h.e.l.p.f.u.l. Sheesh.

Mixed feelings about this. Super excited that we are getting some definitive dates, but that $229 is brutal. Honestly, for $70 I'd rather buy a Frontier. It doesn't change the fact that we'll end up with a Frontier and a GN anyways, cause Riley is heavy-set and Rayn is a beanpole, but still. I was hoping for at least $199 and a girly cover. Oh what a dreamer I am. I'll never be satisfied! Thanks for the updates ladies. I have a friend in the market for a new combo seat for her tall skinny DS, and I think I'll tell her to get the GN instead.

What I find more annoying is that a lot of the more recent new seats in Canada have come pretty close to comparable pricing - the TF is $10 more in Canada, the EFTA is pretty much the same price. Radian there's a $20 difference?
I'm sure TRU/BRU I'm sure will have sales though, and I'm guessing sales will drop it to the $200 mark. Heck, we've seen the MA $50 off a couple of times in the last year, so I'm sure that a seat from Graco will be on sale periodically.
I'm actually considering this - DD's MA could be used RFing for two years for Kid 2.0 before it expires, so I could just have my folks bring a GN when they visit us in February. Wish the covers were a little more fashionable, though ... is there anyway that Britax doesn't spoil us?

WOW! It sucks that your seats are SO much more expensive than our seats! It also sucks that you do not have as much of a choice as we do! I certainly hope that it is a little closer to the $200 mark for all of your sakes!
However I also hope that you get it soon!

Meh, Britax only has the Grey and the Tan patterns available in Canada. Not really anymore exciting than the Nautilus covers IMO. Although if they had the red or pink, then that would be exciting.

We're getting closer all the time to having the same selection of seats as you guys do. Not the Regent - I doubt that one will ever be here, but the TF, Radian's, MA, BLVD, Diplomat, RA, Frontier, EFTA, Apex are all available here. (And of course the 3i1n seats and the comfortsport.) Infant seats we have the keyfit now too, so there's not really that much of a difference between what's available in the US vs. Canada. A year ago the gap was much wider, but we have gotten a lot of new seats in the last year and there has been a ton of positive change. :thumbsup:
But I agree with you - it sucks that we pay so much more for many seats in comparison to you guys. And it puzzles me because some companies are able to price their seats at close to the same as the price the seats sell in the US. So if some companies can do it, why can't others?
:yeahthat:

That's a good point. My kid's original MA cover was microdot tan - our fave out of the oh-so-exciting denim, houndstooth, beige, and brown collection offered in 2004.
I really shouldn't buy anything until we have more info about whether we're more likely to move to Houston in the next six years, or back to Canada.
Just making sure that everyone knows that there's a girl-ish Nauti in the works: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3190397
Does anyone know if Graco has ever had cover choices for their other seats that were available in the US but not in Canada?

Yes, they have comfortsports in the US with grily covers and very few of them (if any) are available here in Canada.

According to the TRU website, you can preorder the Nautilus now, and it'll be released 3/01/2009. I bet they're all sitting in a warehouse right now.
$229 is spendy...ouch. I wonder if Walmart will have a less expensive model, like it does with some other seats?

Last I looked they weren't in the TRU warehouse yet, and you can count on TRU shipping them out right away if they have their stock in sooner than March 1st. :thumbsup:
For the record, the cost of the seat from Graco is more than what the current US MSRP is - though Graco has also indicated that the US price will be going up. Perhaps we'll feel a little better about the price once the US one increases.

The Nautilus is on the floor in our store now !! It's gorgeous.
DH stopped by yesterday to give me keys and I jad to show him.
It's pricey, but not as bas as buying another Radian would be for us. And it's a beautiful seat.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we might get them at our store in the next couple weeks. I haven't checked the computer in over a week, so apparently missed the arrival. I won't complain about that one.
I'm buying one the first time it goes on sale. I love that we get our discount on sale items now.
