Recaro
touches base with news about their new car seats. Recaro had planned to launch
an infant car seat and convertible seat in early 2007; here are the updated
release dates:

—Our infant shell,
the RECARO Picco, is now slated to launch in
November
—Our $219 Convertible seat, the
RECARO Como will be in-store the first week of
June
—Our $259 Convertible seat, the RECARO
Signo will be in-store the first week of
July
—Our new High Back Booster will be in
store the second week of June and is offered in Microfiber for $99 and fabric
for $89. The RECARO Vivo sells at the $99 price point with the Vivo Lite
at $89.
—The RECARO Young Style will be
discontinued in August due to the launch of the Vivo however the Young Sport and
Start will stay in production
—We are also
working on a higher end High Back Booster for $129 which will not launch in 2007
as I currently have it planned.


We have launched our first large retailer
in-store already this year. The Young Sport landed on shelves in Sears in
February. We are also looking at floor launch of a majority of our product
line-up in Babies ?R? Us in the next few months as product becomes
available.. Sales are growing at a strong rate on Target.com and Sears.com
so I look forward to launching on-line with Babies ?R? Us in the
next few weeks and JC Penney before Mother?s
Day.

The
Convertibles (Como and Signo) are looking to hold a weight range of 5-70 pounds
while the Vivo high back booster has a weight range of 30-100 pounds. We
are also testing the Vivo at 105 pounds but have not finalized if we will market
the 105 pound weight or not until I see some further test results.
