Perfect! It looks like it is in really good shape, and it's pretty cheap on CL.

Did you pick it up? There wasn't much difference in the design from the intro till 2011. In 2007 they added more recline which is the most important change IMO. Comparing a 2010 to a 2008 (or 9?) the harness is slightly less annoying and the means of holding up the canopy are different. Since I never bother tucking up the canopy that doesn't matter to me, and the harness annoyance is not a huge deal. But I feel like pink/brown was a more recent color so I am assuming it is newer.

Have you ever seen the green one?? I have only ever seen one in person and it was faded HORRIBLY... I guess that is why they DC'ed it...

I think it may be a 2006 model actually.

No, I haven't picked it up yet. I am still kind of on the fence, I guess. I have two boys and a girl, so I think I am just a little conflicted about the pink. And I have a thing for the Mesa Orange. :rotflmao:

I am 99% sure that pink wasn't available until 2007 or later.

Ooops, I think it saw that the chocolate/pink was manufactured in 2006, but was the 2007 model.

Sorry about that, the previous poster is correct.

I love the orange, too. Not a fan of the pink. I just snagged a used orange one on CL and I am :yay:

It's not orange, but did you see there's a red and cream one listed for less than the pink now too. No idea what year it is though.

The brown/pink was definitely NOT available for the 2006 model. IIRC, it was first available after the "full" recline was introduced, 2007 or newer.

Bubbaray is totally right, according to the wayback machine...in Jul 2006 bob revs were citrus green, mesa orange & navy.

I have the aqua & brown and it was purchased in early 2008.

ETA: I'd love to see one of those green ones in person.

I saw a green one once, it was faded to like lime sherbert. Or maybe more pistchio. Very odd looking. Eye catching but odd. (actually if you use bumgenius diapers it looked a lot like grasshopper) I almost said to the lady omg you have a citrus green bob but didn't want to look like a lunatic. but i should have...

Sorry for the confusion, a friend of mine said she thought hers was a 2006, then she said no, I think it was made in 2006. I didn't mean to excite anyone :(

This website said "released in 2006"

I think the bottom line is that it isn't a 2006 model, so it would have the full recline, etc...
