The photos some of you have asked for... Group shots

[classicseats]

Ok, I have finally been able to access a CD of photos I have. A group shot was requested by some and here they are, as many as I could fit. This isn't all of them! I need help!

[Stretchy Glue]

that is so cool. Thanks for sharing!

[skylinphoto]

Wow! So neat to look at!
That is quite the collection!

As I said, that's not all of them!

[Michi]

Wow - I think that's the most brown vinyl I've ever seen in one place at at time!:p

Thanks for sharing - that's an awesome collection! :)

[lorismurph]

WOW! I think (pretty sure) the black vinyl with the metal clip on the shield is just like the one my Mom had when I was born (30+ years ago). That's amazing! And, it's amazing we all survived after riding in those things! Sometimes I wonder why we didn't get hurt but now we have to be so careful in the car to protect our little ones. What's changed???

[Jennifer mom to my 7]

Oh, is that a circa 1990 evenflo joyride? I had one of them! And I would know that ultara pattern anywhere! I bet others used it though...circa 1996 or so?

[2mykids]

So neat, thanks for sharing!

I have a question about the brown vinyl seat....... :p Let me be more specific, LOL.
Third picture, bottom left hand corner. It looks like it doesn't have a harness. Where would the seatbelt be routed in that one?

[melniemi]

wow:thumbsup:

Do you mean the really old basic seat with the tubular arm rest? If so, it had a basic shuolder strap that raps around the child?

Yeah, you need help. Help finding more seats! ;)

[christineka]

You need to open a museum!

[Maedze]

holy cow :ROTFLMAO:

[Kecia]

Next time Antiques Roadshow is in your area you should take your collection in. I bet they've never seen anything like that before. LOL! Thanks for sharing. I think it's totally cool.

[classicseats]

Yeah, you need help. Help finding more seats! ;)

There are some out there that I want to add but can never find. And it's getting harder year by year.

[classicseats]

and a small group.. some old and new together.

[Murphy's Law]

Very cool! Those are all so amazing to see. But as my dh would say - better at your house than mine!

Thanks so much for sharing!

You should let us know what you're looking for. You might be (sadly) surprised what turns up at seat checks sometimes.

Wow, look how shallow that GM seat is! (The white plastic shell seat.) Hard to imagine that being comfortable for anyone.

LOL, I'm pretty sure that's the seat my twin sisters had. They were born in 1971.

[raelynn]

Very cool, you've got a neat collection! Thanks for sharing photos!

[strollerfreak]

Hey I've got one of those 3pt Century Infant seats out in my shed...I bought it at a garage sale last summer for a whole Dollar. :rolleyes:

Please ignore the blinking chestclip...I was having too much fun playing with it...LOL

[Pingbns]

Wow I wnder what they are worth? i bet you are the only one who does this that I've seen. talk about an antique seat freak:p

[all together ooky]

Thanks for the pics! You've got yourself quite a collection.
It's amazing how much carseats have changed.

[carlsoc2]

Attached is a pic of me in that seat (or one very similar) 35-ish years ago. It seems that there was a set of shoulder straps that came up over the back of the seat (probably anchored to the tubular metal frame behind the seat pad and maybe removable or were taken off the OP's seat at some point?) and then the lap belt of the vehicle was routed through loops on the end of the shoulder straps.

So neat, thanks for sharing!

So cool! Thanks for posting!

[canadiangie]

Do I see a brown vinyl Evenflo Medallion in that last pic you added??

I had no idea those even existed in brown vinyl!


Amazing collection... way too cool. :thumbsup:


ETA: just showed your pics to Dh and he says your attic (?) is awesome. He says that you're wasting it on car seats, LOL. ;) (he'd use it for Lego)

[ketchupqueen]

I second opening a museum! You would of course have to have a pictoral of modern safety features too and show how much they've improved. ;) But imagine getting to meet all of us when we come to see it on vacation! ;) :D

I think the shots are very artistic, btw, very well laid out and lit.

I second that!

DH wants to know how many kids you have.

[waterbaby]

Very cool! I'm trying to imagine what that room smells like with all those seats in there, lol.

[jsmom]

Thanks for sharing your pictures!

[miraclebabies]

I want to come over and play.... that would be like heaven for me, there are alot of them in the pic that bring back memories... My little cousins had alot of them, my aunt had 5 kids and each of them had different seats and I think you own each one of them.. Way to cool

[Kat_Momof3]

that's just a gorgeous collection of seats!!

had to rep for it!

[Judi]

Thanks...for making me feel justa little more normal.

[Defrost]

I still say my '85 booster would fit in perfectly... :whistle: ;)

Thanks for sharing! I love it, its just FUN. :D

[irishmama3]

LOL, one of those looks like the car seat I had when I was little! My mom was telling me about a seat she had for my oldest sister, it was considered the most advanced seat available. She said it just hooked onto the car's seat back, and had a lap belt, and it was designed to slide down and forward in a crash to protect the baby. Most people didn't even use car seats then. Car seats sure have changed.

Oh, no, that was leather!!!! Faaaaancy... :thumbsup:

It's a room above my garage...

No kids!

Like I said, it's a room above my garage. It doesn't smell like pee, poo, or puke!

It doesn't make me feel any more normal!

[Judi]

You aren't normal. Here, we think you are awesome! Waaay better than normal.

I don't think ClassicSeats would accept anything made this decade in HIS collection. Too new. Although, if you grabbed one of everything off CL, in 10 years when they were classics, you wouldn't have a hard time finding them. :whistle:

[zeo2ski]

Wow, look how shallow that GM seat is! (The white plastic shell seat.) Hard to imagine that being comfortable for anyone.



That's the seat we rode in! But the vinyl was brown to match the station wagon...and the seat only left just last year when they finally decided to scrap the car.

[Judi]

I don't think ClassicSeats would accept anything made this decade in her collection. Too new

ahem

[stephie1012]

okay that white seat looks like a bathtub seat!

[Judi]

Yep, I have one like that, similar, from 1967.

[aaminnky]

Wow, that's an amazing collection! Thanks for sharing.

[classicseats]

Thanks for all the positive comments!

[brooklynsmommy]

Classic is a guy....

[Pixels]

Oops, sorry! So used to typing "her" on this board.

[classicseats]

Oops, sorry! So used to typing "her" on this board.

That's ok, I would say the guys are outnumbered here 99.9% to .1%. Plus how many guys have a collection of old carseats?

[New grandma]

Wow, what a collection. Have you counted how many different models you have? Several brought back memories from my kids (DOB:1977,1979,1982,1985, and 1987)

[xursusmaritimusx]

im pretty sure i see the exact car seat my sister and i rode in.

3rd picture, 2nd row, 1st seat. that was it!!!



what a great collection!
