Default TF Premier $189 on diapers.com

**I originally posted this on the coupon forum but haven't received any replies.**

It's the pink polka dotty pattern. Is this the best price you've seen? My twins aren't due until September so I don't know if I should snag it now since it seems like a killer deal. Also, any feedback on this fabric choice? Too hot/sweaty or just right? TIA!

I wouldn't buy a convertible seat yet. For twins, you definitely definitely want infant seats, preferably the higher limit seats. My twin girls are tall, and I think that we'll still get another 4-6 months out of our Safeseats. If you're able to use the infant buckets for 18 months, that means that these seats would be 1.5-2 years old before you'd use them. They expire in 6 years (I think) so you would have wasted 1/3 of their useful life.

Spend your time now shopping around for infant seats instead - I got our safeseats on albeebaby for $80 each last year!

I just got a TF Premier from BRU with a coupon for $159.99. But if i were you, I would wait until your little one is growing out of the infant seat. Then you can see which seats fits your baby and your car the best.

Thanks ladies. I've got the infant seats from my first born & his cousin so I'm all set there. I didn't see the TF Premier on BRU, just the original. Is it an in-store only item? I'm assuming you used the 20% off coupon.

FWIW, I didn't use a bucket at all with Harper, and I wish I had never messed with one with Ava. I went straight to a radian, but the TFP was in the running too. From what I've read a NB will fit just fine in it. The only reason I went with the radian is because I already had one.

Yeah, but twins are a whole different ball game. I didn't use a bucket for long at all with DS2 but they were essential with my twins.

Keep in mind too that there are quite a few redesigned seats coming out (Britax convertibles, Coccoro). I'd wait if possible unless you get an amazing deal (like the $50 RA50 or even the $130 BLVDs), because you'll probably be able to find the other deals later and maybe even get a more updated seat(s)...

These are all good points. Just when I think I've narrowed it down to the best seat on the market, another rolls in. I thought that the consensus was that the TF was all around a better deal than the Britax, especially w/ the ARB. I'll have to look into Coccoro.

I got it on line using a coupon and got free shipping. It had a code in the fine print and I typed it in. My DD really LOVES her True Fit Premier. She always used to cry on the way home from daycare, but now she is happy and quiet in her seat.
