It’s the group shot of the Evenflo seats, the middle top two seats. They’ve got the Maestro style cup holders but the headwings looks like the SecureKid 100. I think it’d be a nice change for the Maestro if they did, I’m noticing DD2’s shoulders are getting a little squished as she gets taller.
@Martha G – Yes,the Snugli harnessed booster is based on the SecureKid 400 but has premium temperature-regulating fabrics and memory foam.
@Felicia – the SureRide is supposed to be shipping sometime in mid-Dec so it should be available in a few weeks!
When will the SureRide/Titan 65 be released this would be perfect for a backup seat for my little girl!
Is the camo Snugli the same as a SecureKid 400?
@IRISHMAMA3 – not sure which photo you’re looking at but you might be seeing the new Chase which is based on the Maestro but has a different head wing design (and is only rated to 40 lbs with harness).
@AMANDA – you’re right that they cannot use the load leg during 213 compliance testing. The seat must be able to pass without it. But if it can do that – it can be sold here with that feature! I’m a big fan of the load leg so I’m really excited and hopeful that it all works out!
I’m interested in this load leg. I thought I heard that foot props cannot pass for US testing because the sled doesn’t have a bottom where your feet would go?
Anyways the aton 2 looks awesome.
Did Evenflo change the shape of the Maestro headwings? It looks more square.
@Kathryn – as far as I know, the top harness slot on the Sure Ride is still 19″ tall.
Is the top slot on the Sure Ride/Titan still going to be 19″? My 2 years and 7 months old son outgrew our backup seat, a AOE by torso height forward facing and weight rear facing. I keep hoping that this seat will materialize and we can buy a new backup that will last a long time. As it is I have a feeling we might be buying Frontiers to replace our True Fits before he is 4.
@Maggie – I totally agree! The twin setup with the dual Atons looked really awesome!
@Brandy – The Snugli branded seats are really, really nice! And I’ll join you in saying “sayonara” to the z-shaped handles! It wasn’t such a bad idea – it just took up too much room in the vehicles.
@BBartlettnfld – That Snugli “All-In-One” fashion is called “Starburst”. I really liked that one too!
Love that evenflo “Snugli” brand seat with the black/white polka dots motif. What seat is that?
Wow evenflo has really steped up there game. Can’t wait to hear more about the snugli, and bye bye z-shaped handles =)
shut.the.front.door! I need to have b/g twins so i can do the city select stroller w/ the b/p atons! That looks SLICK! =o)
and ok – i just really need to have another baby in an gender/number so i can buy an aton :o)~
