Got my 2012 SR35! Lots of pics!

I agree with Trudy that I think the only change is the colour of the recline foot.

Interestingly, my 2009 DOM seat has a silver foot too.

Either way, Graco, if you're reading, could you help a girl out here and give one straight answer on this. I called your Elfe reps and was told there have been no changes to either the 32 or 35 for 2012. Really? None?!

I know! How could they not tell them that there have been changes to 2012 seats? Even if they didn't tell them what the changes were yet, but at least so they wouldn't be saying, "NOTHING has changed". Ya nothing except for the new anti-rebound pieces added to the foot area, the cover shape changing to fit those pieces, the new insert that allows the seat to start at 4#, the handle position being only allowed in position "A" in the vehicle now, and all the changes to the manual to address the 2-piece body insert, lower weight, and handle position. :roll eyes:

Maybe all the Canadian SR35's have always had a colour-matched foot? I know my SS had a red foot and the pics of the bases I'm finding for the U.S. have a red foot...or they could have changed them all to be colour matched at some point and the internet pics are just old.

It looks exactly the same as the Sr32 base in my closet.

Our base for the non-2012-compliant SR35 had a red foot IIRC. But who knows, it's been awhile...

As for the SR32 and SR35 comments, I find it amusing because I'm 99% sure there won't even be a SR32 - why rate to a lower weight when they've already modified the 35lb weight one and so many other seats are 35lb limits... now?

I checked the model # on my base and it's 1810511. The model # for a silver base on Graco.net is 1762876 http://www.graco.net/e/item.asp?code=13196&s=0330DDA I'm thinking they changed the model # to indicate those certified to 2012 standards, even if they are the same base.
