Saw this on the Target Clearance thread at FW and went on the hunt. The markdown had only occurred in 1 of the 3 Targets that I checked tonight & the other 2 were still at 50%. I'm guessing that those stores will go 75% very soon as they all had at least 6 of these...... Originally $169.99, now $42.48 (75%) or $84.96 (50%).

The store I found mine at was University Parkway in Winston-Salem, NC. Don't bother going there trying to find one.........When I got to the register with mine after 15 minutes of clearance cruising all the remaining travel systems at this location were on a flatbed cart at the registers. Evidently, somebody needed some Ebay material........

All I can say is if you need a travel system and are going to have a girl, this is the best deal you'll find. Definitely for girls only though.........this is the pinkest thing I've ever seen.......

Also lots of baby stuff at 30% to keep an eye on for future clearance..........

Enjoy & good luck!

Your Mileage May Vary. In other words, your store may or may not have done the final markdown.

Thnaks, I need to see if our local target has one! With 4 grandkids on the way, I am sure it will be used!

Great deal, but I am genetically incapable of having girl babies, little man would look good in pink though......

It took about 3 weeks for my closest local store to finally clearance theirs but they finally did. If anybody was looking for these but they were still 50% at your store, take another look. My store finally went 75%......

Just wanted to post that my sister in law bought this travel system (when it was full price btw-sucker!). Anyway, she got it b/c DS has a Graco snugride carseat and we love it and she knew how to use it already. However, when the baby was born and they got the seat out to use, it is NOT the same snugride as all the rest. If you're familiar with the snugride, it has a strap at the crotch area that you pull to tighten the shoulder straps after they're on the baby. It also has a metal button under a flap near this strap that you push to loosen the straps for easier entry. This particular travel system does NOT have that strap. The only way to tighten or loosen the shoulder straps is AROUND BACK of the seat, which is a HUGE pain, especially with a baby in the seat already. They returned the carseat and went to Babies Us and bought another one (all the ones at BRU have the strap to tighten). Target said that Graco makes different versions of the snugride and that theirs just don't have that featuer which is why they are cheaper. So, just beware. It would probably be fine for infrequent use, but if this is going to be your main seat OR if you're already used to a regular snugride, you'll be disappointed. Personally, I don't think Graco should package 2 different versions and call them both snugride when they are SO VERY different.

Couldn't read this post without at least posting what we have just found out about this Alano travel system over the past few weeks. Oh, and if you do get it and are happy with it, it is GORGEOUS! The pink is adorable.

I've been waiting for this to go 75% because I am having a girl. But, I won't bother...we already have a snugride from when my son was a baby. Thanks for the heads up!
