So does Bugaboo still make Peg Perego adapters?

So I came across this picture of Rachel Zoe using her brand new Bugaboo and Peg Perego Primo Viaggio car seat on the frame with the car seat adapters. It looks like a 2011 model from what I can tell. Yet most of the stores say "For use with 2009 or earlier models" when it comes to the Bugaboo/Peg adapters. So are they making new ones now? For a while it was only "2006 or earlier". Anyone know?

Mimijumi

Mimijumi is not your average baby bottle. Created in 2008 by Dr. Frank Drummond (an American psychiatrist) and Lukas Scherrer (a Swiss designer), Mimijumi is the second project the duo has worked on. The first was a simple cell phone, the Bazile, made for elderly users. Their next project: Babies. After reading a number of complaints from new parents concerning the look of a bottle and the materials used to make it, the pair decided to design a bottle using a Swiss nylon that was free of phthalate, estrogen and BPA. Then came the perfect silicone for a skin-like nipple in Germany. Finally last year saw the birth of the Very Hungry 8-ounce bottle, which has done very well in trendy stores around the USA. Boutiques such as Petit Tresor, Lester Harry's and Village Maternity all carry Mimijumi. Their new 4-ounce bottle that just hit stores.
