These are less impressive.

Evenflo Titan, 05 model with a RF weight limit of 30lbs.


Evenflo Chase, I believe 05 model as well.

Re: The naked car seat thread......

wow, so just plastic and foam, huh? Do you think the plastic is metal reinforced? They all look so similar when naked...

Re: The naked car seat thread......

Well, the Radian definitely has a steel frame but it's pretty unique in that regard.

Re: The naked car seat thread......

Most carseats are pretty much plastic and foam, with a few metal parts. The Radian has a steel frame, and the Nautilus is reinforced by metal, but AFAIK those are the only two like that.

Re: The naked car seat thread......

More MA and FPSVD/DC comparison pics:

MA 2007. Both the MA & BV have the metal latch bars and bottom grey foam like this.




FPSVD 2007. Both the FPSVD and DC have bottom grey foam like this with no latch bars.



FPSVD has two layers of 3/4" grey foam at the top.

Re: The naked car seat thread......

So I havent seen a Concord Ultimax on here and thought I'd strip mine down for you guys.

Here is is complete

Back view:

Seat and base separate:

Seat stripped and headrest up:

Stripped plus the infant foam wedge insert:


If theres anything you dont see that you want to, let me know.

Edit: Sorry it looks so grungy, it doesnt look so bad in person. I swear I've washed it but that light pink is a stain magnet.
