Pictures of my MA in HOUNDSTOOTH.

Here are a couple more pictures. You know I have to say it is darker than it looks in the first batch of pictures I posted. It is not quite as dark as the Britax pictures though.

Lets see if these help you.

The previous picture was inside of the garage with the garage door opened and plenty of light.

Here is one with the car pulled out to the driveway and the door open (ok - that was probably obvious)

Hope these help. I think I will also post one with the Peg Perego car seat which is silver so you see the contrast.

Thanks a million! You are great for taking the pic. It does look a lot darker there and more like what I have been envisioning. Ugh, I don't know if mine has shipped yet so I don't know if I should just get the new blues. Well, I like the way it looks in your car and I like the color in this last pic.

ETA: OK, I think I like it. I think the pics you took show that it isn't baby blue. It is a bit lighter than I imagine but I think it will work.

Thanks again for going through the hassle of lugging it to the car and taking photos for me. That was so sweet of you.

Ok last one. Notice the lint my DS has left in the seat :) ?

No problem! I am just like you. I think everything and I hate to choose colors so this would have been helpful. I am kind of glad now that I did not have it because I would have questioned it myself non stop. I thought also the Houndstooth would be really dark and it is not quite as dark... but it is really, really nice and I LOVE it. I cannot keep something I am not happy with because it bugs me to death and I do really like it. I am glad I did not choose the news blues for two reasons. A - This fabric matches my dark interior much better. The news blues would have jumped out a bit. B- I know I am getting the newest car seat possible because these are the latest models manufactured on Jan 2004.

Anyway... good luck choosing. It is kind of nice that now the big thing is not sitting in the middle of the "empty" formal living room anymore :)

The last picture gives you a really good idea too.. beacause you can see the difference between the viaggio and the marathon. It blends so well with my car ... I just love it. :) Gosh listen to me... I feel like a Britax spoke woman.

BTW My plan B if I hated the houndstooth was to bet a Britax cover in News Blues (heheheheh!)

Those were exactly my two reasons for going with the Houndstooth as well. And, I'm glad someone else is as obsessive about such "silly" things as carseat fabric. DH is probably just laughing and rolling his eyes at this point!

Again, No problem! It was nice to help :)

hahahahahah... my DH is so sick of me. I want to cry sometimes I get so nervous choosing. I died over the stroller too.... now I am obsessing about the highchair. My specialty is to buy three at BRU bring them home and analize them to death and then return the loosers. :) heheheheh

Thank you so much for posting these pictures!!! It is so hard to tell what color it actually is from a little square swatch on a website! I must say that it seems to be quite a bit lighter than I thought. How plush is it? Have you seen the Faux Paw IRL and is it comparable? I am the one who got the Maverick and it is NOT plush at all. Thank you again!
