Just picked up this one. 1986 Evenflo Kantwet One Step. More brown vinyl and chrome. When you kids complain about their seat, show them this one!

I had this seat for my oldest in 1992! I even gave it a fake sheepskin cover, after I had bought it at a garage sale :eek:. Oh the horrors...

Josh's One-Step had a yellow gingham aftermarket slipcover. Otherwise, that looks like it! His was a 1989 though.

His wasn't even that fancy :)

Just a single layer of yellow gingham with elastic around the edge to keep it on and presumably to keep the kidlet from leaving skin on the seat. No added padding or anything.

The things we do when we don't know better!

I saw one of those in use about two years ago. I was so horrified. The child was about five, the back of the carseat came up to about the bottom of his neck, and it was seat-belted in the car with just the overhead shield pulled down in front of him (no harness!)

The oddest part (to me) was that I watched the dad pick him up from the most expensive, exclusive private school in town, driving a very well-maintained older BMW. I almost wonder if he didn't use that seat because it "matched" his car? :confused:
