Dh and I were born in 1980 and 1979 respectively and we both had car seats as babies that we remember. Dh's grandmother held him on the way home from the hospital, though!
I remember the seat I had as a baby. It rf'd until 6 months or so and then ff for another year or two. After that I was in some sort of booster seat where the belt fed through the padded bar thing in front that lifted up and down to get in and out. I was out of that by kindergarten for sure. I remember I liked sitting in the middle with the lap only belt because the lap/shoulder combo on the side dug into my abdomen and neck.
