Apparently it was a mistake :-( cause a friend called for me to get one and the price has already gone back up. Boo hoo. I would have loved one for my new baby. Oh well.

Ya'll got a great bargain...life is good! WEEEEE.

I think I got one of the last ones - I went to show my husband after I ordered it and they were gone. Thanks so much.

you guys don't think it was a mistake? I have this weird feeling I'm going to get an email that the order was cancelled!

Stormster....I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if they'll have to honor the price on the orders that were already placed?

Surely they would have to!! I mean I can see cutting back orders on say 10 or more. But not on 2 and 1 and what not.

I just googled "target britax $42" and there were tons of coupons sites and mommy sites posting about this today, so we weren't the first to pop on over tonight. If it was an error they should honor the price as it was listed. It's not like you/we bought it at full price and there was an error after the fact in processing or something. This was listed with pricing, details of savings. etc. I've seen other sites have "blow out" sales like this before so I'll assume that's what it was....until they send me an email saying otherwise!!

I'm guessing they'll honor it and if it was an error some poor person in charge of updating pricing online will be getting a memo or 2 to say the least

It could have definitely been an error, but if it was, I would think that they would still have to honor it. Oh well, we'll see!!!

Crap, I missed it. That's the very carseat I was planning to buy. Darnit. Guess I'll just have to wait and buy it later at the regular chunky price.

We ordered one about a month ago at the full price and got, get this....a horse instead!!! Yep, a huge box arrived and there was one of those springy jumping horses inside! The packing label/order had our name on it and the car seat was listed, but they put a horse in the box! I called to complain and the lady had a sweet southern accent. When I told her we got the horse, she sort of yelped, "Oh my!" I laughed and said, "Well, it's not a real horse!" She said, "Gosh, I shore hope not 'cause that'd be an awful mess to clean up." I guess the accent is what got me, but I was laughing for days afterwards! Anyway...she sent out the carseat ASAP and told me she'd sent a return label for the horse. 4 weeks later Mr. Ed is still in the basement! I guess we'll just save it til DD is a little older... Target.com seems to have some issues!

It was an error and there are conflicting things saying they will not be honored, some saying they will be honored, etc. I am not holding my breath and I think we will get cancellation emails within 2 days.

Unfortunatly several people I know ordered many, and I mean MANY! Some people ordered like 7 to 10 of them of course making Target REALLY catch on sooner. If anything they may honor the 1st one ordered but not the more or one.

I am sad and gonna hope they honor them. At least honor ONE of them per person who ordered.

I didn't even think much about it not being honored. I think they have to. I only ordered 1, but afterwards thought I should have ordered more. I will be so mad if they do not honor it.

I ordered one of those cowmooflauge (she has a western theme) for my niece. I could'n't believe the price. I hope they honor it.
