Help - Evenflo Mystery Seat

I've got an Evenflo highback booster seat in my trunk (it is ours.)
It is a 40# harnessed booster.

It has the same chest clip as the Chase does.

It is NOT expired, has somewhere between 2 and 4 years left to my recollection.

It has the Evenflo logo stickered on its plastic shell (down at the "base".)

It looks very similar to Coscos highback harnessed booster seat, but this seat has three height positions and a much higher top slot than Coscos.

I can't recall perfectly, but I think it has the harness adjust ON the harness, like the Chase does.

(The seat is in my trunk and it is snowing, so I don't want to go get it. BUT, I've looked at the seat before to find a product name and didn't find one. I'll go get it if I HAVE to...)

Evenflo Express?

Looks like a Chase without the armrests.

I'm not sure, but here's the link to the pictorial, you should be able to find it on there.

Ah, I think it could be the Express.

I looked all through the pictorial and didn't find it.

It is NOT a Generations (should've stated that earlier.)

See, it looks almost identical to Coscos version:

The Express is going to have slots about 2.5" taller than the Cosco HBB.
If this is your seat, how did you get it without knowing what it was?

It's probably one of the clones of the Chase. It went by a lot of names including the Express, Vision, Chase, Traditions.

Sounds like my Express. I adored it (for some reason I loved the adjuster) and used it until and, um, slightly past (<30 days) its expiry last year. (It was literally the month before I found this board, lol!) Of course, since it only harnessed to 40lbs and I'd now RF any child that size, I wouldn't use it... but I loved it nonetheless.

I would guess that there are plenty of people driving around out there with seats that they don't know the actual names! I was given two seats by in laws, and they have no idea what the "names" of the seats were. Granted, a SnugRide was pretty easy to identify, but they were only able to tell me it was a 'Graco baby car seat.'

Most of us wouldn't take a seat from someone without knowing its entire history, though. Some of us wouldn't take a seat from someone (to use) even knowing its history (unless brand new in box as a gift.) We would just prefer to buy new, for peace of mind. Most of us are geeky enough we would then remember the name. Some of us, of course, came to the obssession AFTER buying seats several years before, so we may not remember the full name at this point.

Yep. We had a "vision". It's all the same seat, just different padding and extras, some had armrests, some had cupholder, some had better covers, etc.

Ours was an express. LOL. I actually liked the seat for my inlaw's vehicle, and it had a 47lb limit here which was nice.

Ah, love those Canadian limits! I had a beloved Platinum Cargo I could have used a lot longer with my short torsoed granddaughter!

It's always surprised me that carseats have all of these fancy names, yet, except for Britax covers, none of them say the actual names on the seat! Once people throw the box away and lose the manual, they have no idea what it was called.

When I talk to my grown kids about their kids' seats (all of them bought by me ) I have to say "the blue one" or "the one with flowers on it".

with my first child i had a britax seat i bought online from target and he stayed rf in it since i had no idea it was also a ff seat didn't know it was a marathon
friends asked me all time when ethan was little when he was going ff i always told them when they bought me a new seat had a bucket before that and he still fit so i waited for the first car seat check on base brought new seat
they installed it for me and i must have gotten confused at that point since
they said it had to in rf just assumed that's the only way
i wish people received more carseat info even just on proper use
it a good thing his seat was stolen since i thought it went rf til 65lbs
i love this board and feel welcome all the time
