At this year’s ABC Kids Expo we had the pleasure of seeing many innovative upcoming products. Most of the product info we were allowed to share with our readers immediately but we also saw (and heard about) lots of cool new things that the manufacturers asked us not to share until we were given the green light to do so.
Thankfully, the gag order on some of the new Harmony Juvenile products has been lifted and while there are still other new Harmony products that we can’t talk about yet, here’s what we can share:

I am trying to order the Harmony folding booster seats but have not been able to find anyone who has them in stock. Any ideas? I need 4 of them.
Any updates or further opinions on the folding travel booster? Looks like it might be a good option for us… Thanks!
Thanks Kecia, I has missed it!
I really like the folding booster… not the tallest, I know… but definitely tall enough to get almost all kids to where they are ready to use a backless booster on trips…. I just love how compact and perfect rectangle it folds into… even if it does require more steps than the other (first years) folding booster on the market.
also, it looks nice and narrow like the other harmony boosters for easy 3-across.
I think it’d be great for city parents who don’t use a car that often to cart around for kids who are old enough for a booster but not ready for a backless, people who travel a lot, or a spare seat because it would be so easily stored when needed.
FANTASTIC price point for what it is, too
not sure how I’ll feel about the harnessed seat when used as a booster with no pics with kids in it as one yet here… but at least as a harnessed seat, it looks like it should be awesome!
Sorry guys but that’s all the info we had from the show. Check the links to the Harmony website to see if there is additional info.
I’ll try to find out if Defender is going to Canada.
That looks WAY better for a 3-across than the Maestro! If only it wasn’t only at the Evil League of Evil where I refuse to shop. WAH!
PLEASE tell us if Canada is expected to get the Defender too?
Pretty neato looking seats 🙂
What’s the weight and width of the Defender? It might be a nice travel option for us if we need another harnessed seat.
What is the top belt guide measurement for booster mode?
It’s listed: 18.25″ top harness slots
Or are you asking about something else?
Harness height?
