I gotta say, the mental imagery this brings makes the woot almost worth it...

Yank, Waaah! Yank.... Waaah! Yank, SPRONG! *SMACK* as snatchers head hits the rear-door window, knocking him unconscious.

This is a serious waste of time. Couldn't Amazon do their own daily deals and leave a good thing alone? Sirius GPP.

Bravo! The "brb" catapults this post from a mere chuckle to a ROFL worthy level.

Reviewers here recommend that you have a vehicle with a latching system if you purchase this seat.

When the Big o' Cosmos popped up, I happened to be perfectly prepared to drop it in my cart. Since it was already set as an order of three, one was added to my order and I entered all my info. I said I was paying via PayPal and clicked the big yellow button. Just like everything else I've ever ordered from woot.

Unfortunately, the order was "processing" for quite some time, then I received an error message about the server. I tried refreshing and checking my PayPal. No dice.

When I contacted PayPal they said there was an attempt to make payment but the request timed out and the site lost contact with the requesting site.

Will contacting woot allow me to get my purchase honored, or have I just been screwed by the server gods? Anyone have experience with this problem?

Neg. SBTSG. Deal.

You're screwed. You're only allowed one.

most modern cars feature LATCH.

It would appear Michigan is Wooting heavily. Nice to see they're trying to repopulate the state after the economy falling out the bottom.

I ordered one, have a baby on the way and the car seats we have had since expired. Good price for a decent car seat, and I'll order a extra base from WMT.

I mean it was described as "3 Random Craps - $3.00" so I only tried to buy one.

This should be posted on the MTV site. I guess the really cool gadget we want is on there and we are stuck with the teen mom special.... Awesome. PASS.

And you'd think the top buyer would be Alaska...

Only $10 more for the base AND the seat. Just in case you drop the first one. Or lose it.

They should make a new Woot page for kids stuff! That would be kinda cool....

You can only buy one. It used to be that you could be one, two or three like all the other items. But to many people only clicked I Want One and complained.

I wonder how many folks who would be interested in this stuff are hanging out at kids.woot, not paying attention over here.

Come to think of it, I wonder why there IS a kids.woot.

Short Answer: no

Oh sweet, I'm in Michigan. So... uhh... any ladies out there?

Haha just kidding. :P

ok. But you're still screwed. Sorry.

Too bad this isn't a convertible car seat. I need one :-(

That and we still can't afford to pay full price for our car seats.

When paying with Paypal you have to have available funds in your Paypal account. It will not pull from your checking account. I learned this the hard way too.

Good one for baby rug rats.

bring on dem monkeys!!!!!

I have had the same model for 3 years now with no complaints. I've been looking to pick up an extra base to keep in another car and found them for $39.99. $10 extra for the seat made this a no-brainer.

We also have a stroller designed to carry the seat. It's definitely worth it to get the stroller to go with the seat.

It occurs to me that I'm now one of probably very few people who have ever said, "Honey, I wooted another car seat".

Can you tell me a good place to get the extra base for less than forty?

walmart 39.54

I was ordering the Big Orphaned Cetacea when I pushed the button the server just froze.

This would be good for bringing frozen turkeys or watermelons home from the grocery store.

That has never been the case for any woot purchases for me. Probably because I have my card number listed first, with the account number as backup.

flintoid wrote:Can you tell me a good place to get the extra base for less than forty?

Wal mart 39.54. It's under $40 but barely.

Hey Woot!

There are nerds present. Putting up things like this might give them ideas. One of them is sure to add a motor to this and kill somebody.

flintoid wrote:Can you tell me a good place to get the extra base for less than forty?

There is none. Amazon, Babies R Us, Target, Walmart, every where I've looked they are all $40. Might as well buy the seat and sell just the seat on craigslist.

Welcome to being screwed by the over-taxed servers. You missed out on Crap. On the bright side, most of them are actually crappy. Better luck next time.

Got this yesterday and happy with it, but haven't used it yet (baby due in July!).

BUT, filled out the registration card and realized the seat was manufactured in early 2007! It's FOUR YEARS old.
I mean, it's new, but still...

The base was made in late 2010.
