Anyone know any details on this? Darren, Kecia et al.....I don't mean to steal any thunder but I'm IMPATIENT!!!!!! It looks so small....I'm interested to hear some details!!!!

At first glance, it resembles the orbit toddler to me.

Can't wait to hear more info. But if it's as expensive as their infant seats, this will be a seat I admire from a distance.

To me it looks like a cross between the Orbit toddler and the classic Britax seats. It does look short. Hopefully it is taller than it looks.

I agree, it looks very very short, like the Cocorro.

 

[Chila88]

I thought Cocorro right away too. But perhaps the headreast counts toward shell height? Then it could be larger then it looks as the headrest is all the way down in that pic.

Oh, that does look short.

It appears to have 2 seperate latch straps that tighten individually on each side like a Britax (the tan seat to the r of the brown one has an adjuster strap on the left side of the seat, and we can see the adjuster strap on the right side of the brown one). Why aren't more seats like this? I find it makes install sooooo much easier.

There are seats like that out. Kinda a new thing.

It also has the new IMMI latch connectors like the new Britax's so that you don't have to switch the connectors from RF to FF.

QuassEE is writing up a blog about it, but I don't know when she will be done, sorry!

Recaro does the whole separate latch tightening thing too.

Recaro does the whole separate latch tightening thing too.

I'm in Canada so I've never actually had my hands on a Recaro Maybe some day!

Yeah, it looks like a Coccoro but without the cuteness and charm.

Based on the Primo Viaggio, I'm wondering if it will be overpriced and hard to install.

 

[TXDani]

I was looking at their Italian catalog (trying to find new patterns offered) and in that it showed a convertible but it was like the orbit in that it installed on a base.

Nicole~ hurry up with that review...I am going to start stalking you for your PP knowledge!

 

[SafeDad]

Keep in mind that it is a prototype, the soft goods could change considerably before it is released, even if the hardware is mostly done (and I don't know that it is since I didn't visit Peg).

Very Orbit-y...

In other news that leather Monterey makes me want to break into a sweat

 

[QuassEE]

I suspect we'll have some more photos and information on it mid-week in the blog

It's in queue. Not my best work, but it's there.. I didn't have a lot to work with!

It looks similar to this: http://global.pegperego.com/babyproducts-catalog/2010/Viaggio1+Duo-Fix

Judging on the picture in the video they show with the kid FF at 12-15 months (and very loose straps) with only 3 inches above his head, I think this new convertible has a similar shell to the CCO and roundabout and will be outgrown by most kids RF by age 2.
