Check your tracking status on Target. Saw some posts on SD about people's orders disappearing off the site. Just went to check mine and it was gone too.

Well, for those that might actually need these, we have two and our kids have liked them all along the way. Our son at 3 1/2 is still using his in our main car, and our 1 year old daughter has used it for months now and is very happy. This is truly a great seat to cover everything from 4-6 months or so on up until the kids are ready for a backless booster.

Just go notice of mispricing from Target. Order cancelled

Yeah, mine got cancelled, I'm bummed. I needed another car seat. We're always swapping our 1 Britax between our cars on the weekends and when one of us has to pick up the baby from daycare. It's a pain in the rear, but not worth paying $250 for a 2nd seat.

Actually, it was probably all the moms on the parenting forums I visit who CALLED Target to verify the price and demanded to know why theirs hadn't shipped already...15 minutes after they placed the order. Morons.

My graphite orders got canceled but I have one cow pattern one that was $59.99 (but ugly) that is still alive - but I haven't been charged and it'll probably be canceled too.

got the dreaded email -canceled.

I also own one and love it!
Plus free shipping and no tax.

This is interesting as Target has no legal right to cancel the orders. An offer was made (their ad), we accepted by placing an order and they accepted by sending a confirmation. They have some language buried about not responsible for errors but it is not part of the ordering and confirmation process.

I have asked for their Corporate contact info as well as their in-house attorney.

Anyone up for a class action suit?
