The naked car seat thread......

Judi just posted a picture of an evenflo triumpth advanced and I had no idea it had foam everywhere. You guys also might remember that I freaked out a bit when a wizard came to a check and only had foam on the headrest. I had no idea it was supposed to be that way.

I was thining it would be fun and educational to do a whole thread of naked car seats!

I was going to take some pictures of my seats but I'm going to wait, someone might already have some pictures on their computer. lol

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

I have a request, please. The inside seating area of a naked Signo and Como. I'd like to see how the lap belts are anchored (or if the harness is one long piece). Thanks!

Naked seats . . . giggle. There's something so, IDK, creepy about it .
