Changes in car seat limits and design across versions and model years
Have the limits or design of a car seat model changed between versions or model years?
Evenflo Shyft DualRide: Newer side-impact models are rated to 30 lb while original models were rated to 35 lb; the newer headrest has more robust headwings and added energy-absorbing foam, and height is usually outgrown before weight. Britax B-Safe Gen2: The second generation adds about an inch more seating width and a soft knit fabric, with tagless branding so nothing rubs on the baby. WAYB Pico: Limits and manuals differ by manufacture date, so the label on the seat and its matching manual should be trusted over older reviews. Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat: A review of the pre-2025 seat says seats sold today differ because of the 2025 FMVSS update, so buyers should check current labels rather than rely on older review limits.

Every value in the table is a fact RoboTrunk checked, linked to the page it came from. A dash means no checked fact fills that cell. Prices and stock change, so this page prints neither: each product name links to its RoboTrunk page, which shows them live.

About the recall notices above: each matches a model named in a regulator's notice, as the index stood on 2026-09-25. This listing is the brand and model a regulator's notice names. Two AI models judged it so independently. It does not mean the unit on sale is from an affected batch, that the store knew, or that the product is illegal where the store sells it; a US recall does not bind an Australian store. The notice may cover only some serial numbers or dates of manufacture, which a listing does not show. RoboTrunk never limits or blocks a purchase over a notice; read the notice and decide.
This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents. The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not the seller and never holds the money. Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store, then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card. Where the rest of this site is: - /agent/story.md is what RoboTrunk is and how it works, in full. - /agent/tools.json is every tool, its arguments and its answers. - /agent/merchants is every store you can buy from through RoboTrunk. - /products/ucp is every store's indexed products. - /products/search is one search across every store, in plain words.
