    Car Seat ID Bugging Me

    OK...now I know one of you sharp eyed Car Seat group members knows the answer. On a TV commercial of recent months there was a car seat shown that I thought was styled kind of neat like a sports car seat. At least from the couple brief appearances in the commercial it looked sporty to me. I...

    Would look pretty much like this one from the 1971 Montgomery Wards catalog: This exact one would be great to find, but the one I really have my heart set on finding is a step up from this one. A step up because it had both upright and reclining positions and the seat and backrest pads were...

    For The Classic Car Seat Collectors

    Thought you might enjoy seeing these images from the 1969 and 1971 Montgomery Ward catalogs. Interesting to note that the Fall/Winter 1969 catalog (top image) still offered the old style *umbrella hook" car seat that fits over the bench seat back, whereas by Spring/Summer 1971 they were no...
