Seats you wish would be manufactured again

christineka · Nov 18, 2009

I now have a britax bodyguard. I love the seat a whole lot. It has sip, accommodates a super tall torso (about 21.5 inches) and has the skinniest seat. I have the seat adjusted out for dd, but it still only takes up about 13.5 inches. It is awesome. I'm so sad that this seat will expire in a few years. I wish britax would bring it back.

Does anyone else desire old seats to be produced again?

Fisher-Price Safe Embrace convertible, LOVE this seat! If I hadn't gotten into a crash mine would just now be expiring.

The stay in view is SOOOOOOO great for 3 in a row, someone needs to make something like it again. Ditto on the star riser.

You all know my love of the FP convertible seat with the over head shield. Don't recall it's name. I loved that seat. There was nothing ever that was easier to buckle a kid into. Yes, it had a few issues, but I didn't know it at the time.

FPSV/Starriser Comfy booster, for all those people with scraped knuckles trying to do 3 across with Turbos.

christineka · Nov 18, 2009

FYI I used to have a fisher price booster. The bodyguard is thinner

I got rid of the fp booster because my dds had outgrown the seat with their 18 inch torsos. I hear the starriser was taller, but it still has almost no sip.

I've never seen the laptop in person, but it sounds like a great solution to the lap-only belts.

The old style Parkway. I like it way better than the SG. :crying:

I second the Stay in View and the Embrace, by FP. I had both of those and loved them.

I wish that Britax would offer the old leopard print seat cover I had on my dd's Roundabout. I would buy it in every seat possible.

I'm saddened to see the Regent phased out of production.

Britax Laptop, Britax Starriser Comfy, and/or Fisher Price Safe Voyage Booster (and I don't care what name they want to call it or which brand they put it under... it could be under DOREL for all I care... for any of these)

now, after lap-only belts are TOTALLY phased out I wouldn't be AS upset about the laptop as I currently still am... but I still like it for the city folk, as it fits in a large stroller basket or is light enough to toss in a bag (they should have made one for it and a carry strap like Clek does for the Olli) and tote along with you and then use in a cab.

Heck, I've even figured out how it could be made latch-compatible!

And of course, I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the bodyguard because I would have loved to have a booster with lockoffs... by the time I knew about it and wanted it, they had already moved on and there was no point... I needed something wider.

I would LOVE if the Laptop was made again, I could so use it!

MoreLatte · Nov 18, 2009

Well, back in the day when my oldest DD(14) was a baby, I thought the FP T-shield convertible was the cream of the crop!! I loved the retractable harness. We had three of them!

I also had the FP safe embrace convertible and liked it ok, but wasn't in-love with it. That was at least 12 yrs ago, before I really knew much about safety features and focused mostly on style and convenience

So I'm curious, what did everyone love about the safe embrace? I do remember that it had lock-offs, but not sure what else made it appealing.

How? Have you told Britax? We want it back!

That's the type of seat I rode in as a kid. My parents LOVED it, but I was a car seat screamer so it wasn't used very long.

It had metal lock offs which were very sturdy, much more then the plastic britax ones. It was easy to install, I actually can't think of a car it was hard to install in. It had awesome wide polyester straps. I'm too lazy to go downstairs to measure but I think they were around 2 1/2 inches wide. The harness slots were color coded so parents could get it right. 2 Blue for rear-facing and red for forward facing. It has nice wide sides much wider then anything out at the time and anything out now. I can totally see how it would protect better in a side impact crash,
