View Full Version : Cheap Britax seats: $101 Roundabout, $115 Frontier (must stalk)

Editing to not confuse anyone who hasn't followed from the beginning. Roundabouts are still available for $101 shipped here (http://www.wayfair.com/return_sales_items.php?clid=435). Frontiers and Parkways appear on the same page for brief moments here and there and if you stalk the page you might see/get one.



There are some really nice prices on Britax seats on Wayfair.com (http://www.wayfair.com/return_sales_items.php?clid=435). Is this a reputable site? I haven't checked out shipping or anything yet though. Take a look if you need a Frontier, Parkway or Roundabout.

I think CSN is perfectly fine and it looks like they have changed to wayfair, so I would be fine purchasing there. Good prices!

Some strollers too - http://www.wayfair.com/return_sales_items.php?clid=406 but I don't really know if these are good prices.

Thank you, thank you, about to buy a Frontier for $115.

I've bought strollers and a Tripp Trapp from their returns section and all the items were brand new in the box still. I did get a Maclaren that looked gently used from them once.

During the summer they were selling lots and lots of Sunshine Kids seats and people on car-seat.org were reporting that they were new in the box and most hadn't even been opened.

Wow! Wonder what the manufacture dates are on these seats.

ETA: Would anyone else be a little wary of buying a returned car seat?

So glad to hear this! I just bought a Tripp Trapp and am really hoping it is in great shape. For the price, I couldn't resist!

Mine was brand new in the box, as was the baby set I got from there for $30 too. They only had white last time, which wasn't my first choice, so I'm debating if I should order another and sell the white...

ETA (after some research): these are returns, final sale and there is no shipping or tax (to NJ). Might be worth it to get a Frontier 85 for $115 shipped...

Thanks for the link! I just got a Frontier 85 as well...now to see if they come through with it or if there was only the one. :/

I got the Frontier in red about 2 hours ago. At first it wasn't there, then I checked again a few minutes later and there was 1 available. It says once you add it to your cart it stays for 30 minutes then it's released so maybe keep checking back.

Snow mom
11-05-2011, 09:34 PM
Over :crying: they are 196.xx now

This particular cover has been $196 all day which is why they are still there. As PP said, they hold the item for 30 minutes once it's added to a cart. It seems their inventory system might actually be set up to handle the huge amount of traffic they probably received today. Suddenly wayfair is all over the various boards.

Is buying a returned car seat risky at all? I saw the Frontier deal but hesitated because of that. Just curious what others think. Would have loved to get one for that great price.

legaleagle
11-07-2011, 02:10 PM
I would hesitate in some instances but in this case, I believe there is simply no way that they suddenly received 15 returned roundabouts at once. I think these are simply clearance, probably to make way for the new covers. I know a lot of people have reported ordered returns/clearance stuff from wayfair and it was obviously unopened.

AnnieW625

Wow, just posted about a $49 Evenflo Tribute for DD2 in the car seat forum, but now a $101 RA55 might be a good deal too:)

Hard to resist, really - you'd probably more than make up the difference with resale, if you wanted to.

I read on car-seat.org that these are in fact all new - apparently someone cancelled a huge order after they had already arrived at the wayfair warehouse which is why they're clearing them out so quickly!

After madly refreshing all day, I just got a red rock frontier for $112! And the ra55 I ordered this afternoon already shipped. I hope I like the red rock, I have no idea what kind of fabric it is. But I guess even if I buy a new cover, it'll still be cheaper than even a good sale on these.

Are you looking at the page of all clearance car seats? It's just showing the frontier onyx and the 2 ra patterns at the moment, but various other frontiers have been popping up randomly. I've had quite a few where they pop up but can't be added to the cart too.

That's the page I was refreshing. There were usually 3 items but then a few Frontier 85s came in stock for $115. I quickly added one to my cart (it said that there were 5 available of that pattern) and by the time I checked out, all of them were gone. Keep refreshing and hopefully you'll get one.

I finally got a Maui Blue. I should have just ordered when there were a bunch in stock on the first day. Now I've stayed up way past my bedtime. I missed about 8 different seats that popped up and I was too slow so glad to finally be done refreshing. Of the colors they had this was my preference but I really wish they would have had cowmoo or livia.

so what did you pay for the maui blue?

Snow mom
11-08-2011, 11:34 AM
so what did you pay for the maui blue?

$115.50 but you get 3% back from the wayfair rewards program and I went through ebates for 2.5% (I believe Mr. Rebates is 3% but I don't use them often enough for it to be worth the extra).

by refreshing do you mean leaving that pg. and then re-entering or leaving the web-site entirely and going back in? can you tell i really want one of these, i called them the first day because i had it in my cart and was finishing the transaction and some how it got taken, there were none left at that time.

Snow mom
11-08-2011, 11:48 AM
where did you see this on there web-site? is it on the pg. that i keep seeing the three carseats, one being the frontier for $196.00? or is it on the page with all the britax seats.

It's on the page with the three carseats. You basically have to refresh constantly and hope that one pops up. There are a lot of people trying though so you have to be really quick. If one pops up it isn't added to your cart until you click add to cart, scroll down on that next page (which explains these are non-returnable and possibly returns) and click accept. Then it's added to your cart assuming you are the first to manage this sequence.

to refresh do you leave the web-site entirely or just that page? and when do you think is the best time of day to do this? i have been doing it off and on for the last day or two and i keep seeing the same carseats but i have not stayed up late to check.

Yup, it actually said there were 5 in stock too. I guess you just have to be really really fast.

A couple people on car-seat.org have gotten theirs, totally NIB. Wayfair is definitely a legit site, I've ordered all kinds of stuff (light fixtures, baby stuff, cooking stuff, etc) from them over the years

AnnieW625

Yes, it says that for all of them since it's from their clearance section, but apparently what happened is someone placed a huge order and cancelled after wayfair had already gotten them in their warehouse. Everyone who has actually received theirs has reported that they were NIB and had DOM within the last couple months.

Since it looks like this thread is still active, can someone weigh in on whether this is a great enough deal that I should jump on it even though my DC is not until May/June 2012? I would be purchasing the Roundabout, so it would be the DC's second carseat, presumably not put into use until probably around 12/12, at the earliest. I already have a Frontier 85 to use (DS currently usig) after that which still has plenty of years of life on it!

TIA!!

Do you already have a convertible seat that won't expire until your DC2 can forward face or turn 2 (since the frontier isn't rated for under 2 year olds)? If you don't have a convertible, and you don't have super super tall kids and plan to rf past 2.5 (which even my 99%+ DS should reach), I think this is still a really good deal even if you're losing a year of life on it. $102/6 years is only $17/year.

No, I don't think it's a smoking deal on the RA (certainly not enough to waste two years of the life of a 6 year expiry seat.) I bought a RA50 (this was before the RA55 so not a phase out seat) at Target for $49. That's the type of deal that's worth jumping on. Not only is the price not smoking which is why they are staying in stock, but seats might change between now and when you actually need it.

If you don't have a convertible, and you don't have super super tall kids and plan to rf past 2.5 (which even my 99%+ DS should reach), I think this is still a really good deal even if you're losing a year of life on it. $102/6 years is only $17/year.

No, DS's old convertible was tossed a while back as it expired, and since yes, the Frontier can't be the second seat, I would be getting the Roundabout as the in between seat.

(certainly not enough to waste two years of the life of a 6 year expiry seat.)

Right, but she'd be losing ~1 year on a 7 year seat (most people have been report 9/11 DOM). The next gen britaxes have a 7 year expiration, I don't know if the "classic marathon/roundabout" that Target sells is still 6 years.

Adding: This is not to say that you can't find deals on other very nice convertibles for the same price or less - I know you can find the graco myride for this price or a bit more fairly frequently. But if you want a new gen britax (and I love mine and dislike my old blvd - I also have a truefit, coccoro and radians, so no stranger to car seats), this is a really good deal, IMO. FWIW, babycheapskate lists the buy price on this at $160.

Ah, I didn't realize the newer models are 7 year expiry. Then I agree that if you tend to move your LOs out of the bucket quickly someone with a spring baby is missing one year from a 7 year seat. Since the LO will likely outgrow the seat before it expires I'll revise my position and say this "might" be worth jumping on if you are okay with the cover choice (now just onyx although some stalking might bring other choices.)

I bought one Frontier 85 already and am hoping to score a second. Has anyone seen them pop up recently or are they all gone? The one I ordered came today and it is definitely brand new.

ETA: Just checked the DOM - it's 09/2011. Yeah!

I've periodically been looking but haven't seen any pop up today... in fact, doesn't seem to be anything much new on Clearance generally, unfortunately (but good for my wallet!).

Great that the one you got is brand new! :) Mine should be coming tomorrow.

Thanks, Snow Mom and Legaleagle, I decided to wait. Since the deal is good but not awesome, I figure another one will probably come across in hte next year. Thanks again for your input!

They seem to be more or less gone now, but on car-seat.org people are reporting DOM on the RA55 from early 2011 (as early as Jan 2011). It seems the frontiers are all summer or later but the RA55 aren't quite as recent.

I really wish Wayfair would've put a limit on the number of seats one could buy. Someone on car-seat.org bought 6 seats, (and I only read the last 7 pages of the 27 page post) and for some reason that just makes me ill, and sad at the same time. People bought these just to sell. And to think that there are famines who couldn't afford these seats new that could've afforded a $115 Frontier.

My RA55 should be at my house so I will report back with my DOM.

I agree. A lot of the posts there kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I swear someone bought 10 seats!

That's great!!! And that took a LOT of perserverance today, b/c I sporadically stalked (out of curiosity) and nothing was ever popping up.

I just got the email notification of shipment with a fedex tracking number. YIPPEEE!!!

DS2's Frontier 85 in Red Rock (red canyon?) came today! Brand spanking new in a still 100% sealed box with sealed bag, etc. Manufacture Date was September 19, 2011. :)

Technically Brennan can stay rear facing because his BLVD goes to 35 lbs. But it's beginning to get really cold here an we're wearing thicker clothing (no coats in the car though!) and heavier shoes and Brennan is teetering at 34 lbs right now (3 years 5.5 months). Advice/opinions anyone?

Personally, I'd turn him at 3.5 and 34lbs, just so you don't have to worry about remembering to weigh him frequently, esp with winter clothes/boots/etc to consider.

Yes, I think so too. We just did the same thing with DS once he hit 34 lbs. - clothes and shoes add at least a pound.

Great! There's still hope. I stalked yesterday and never saw anything pop up - you must have quick reflexes!

I am so happy with the one FR85 I got that I want another one!

I was stalking and saw this pop up and was so excited but when I tried to add it to the cart it was unavailable. You must have been a little faster than me! Anyway, seeing it made me refresh my screen for like 2 hours after hoping for another one but nothing came up. I was so ready to get off of my computer last night!

I saw this too but it wasn't a good deal. It was only marked down $20 from the retail price, so it wouldn't surprise me if it comes available again.

I am so late to this. The site is showing $196 for the Frontier, is that a good price? Or do I have to go into the mission of stalking all day too?

The good price is $115 for the Frontier. You will need to stalk, although the deals are now few and far between. One popped up last night, but I'm not sure any others have become available since then.

I think the deal is pretty much dead at this point. :(
They had a quantity of seats to sell and they were posted on Sunday (at least that's when I put one in my cart and then took it out because I realized I didn't need it). So, at this point, you'd be hard pressed to find one. It's possible one may pop up, but I personally wouldn't hold my breath (or waste time checking the site constantly), because at this point, it would probably be a returned seat that would pop up...

HTH
