So, I'm leaving Sat. to go visit my sister in Loudon County Virginia (she lives in Ashburn). I'll be doing a little sightseeing (including downtown DC) but would like to do some "carseat sightseeing". There are several seats I've always wanted to see in person that just aren't sold in Iowa! I'd love to see the Clek boosters, Safeguard Go/Childseat, Radian XT, Monterrey, Orbit system (LOL), Recaro (any of their seats), of course the My Ride, Roundabout 50 (haven't made it here yet, as of 8 days ago), Advocate (just to see the weird "pillows"), I can't think of any other seats right now! I wouldn't mind seeing some cool strollers too! Does anyone know of any stores that carry all/most of those seats?
Thanks for indulging me!
I live in NOVA--but in Fairfax County--1 county over from Loudoun, so the stores I go to are a few minutes away from you--just avoid rush hour!!!
The seats that I've seen, which you listed are:
Clek boosters--pretty sure they have at least 1-2 styles at Buy Buy Baby in Springfield
Radian XT--yes, Buy Buy Baby in Springfield
Monterey--yes, Buy Buy Baby in Springfield
Orbit system--yes, Buy Buy Baby in Springfield (maybe BRU in Chantilly, too?)
My Ride--yes, BRU in Chantilly
Roundabout 50--haven't seen it yet, but it may be at BRU by now
Advocate--I *think* it's at Buy Buy Baby in Springfield
Unless otherwise noted, these seats are NOT at our local BRU stores. For instance, BRU used to carry SK seats, and had the Radians in-store, but do not any more--and thus also don't have the Monterey. Also, Buy Buy Baby used to carry Recaro in-store, but now does not.
There is also a big baby store in Manassas...but the name is eluding me right now--it's a boutique place, and may have other items. HTH!
