Everyone needs a good OHS seat in their collection, right?? DS was freaked out when I lowered the shield over his head & DH rolled his eyes & asked what on earth I was going to do with it Play with it, of course...silly man!

I obtained this DOM 04/04/2005 Evenflo Tribute (note the Graco chest clip) at a check this weekend. Seat came in untethered with a FFing 25lb 13 month old in a HUGE puffy winter coat Little girl left RFing in a brand new Scenera with her light sweater & a blanket over top of the harness:thumbsup:

Note: Picture shows misuse. This seat will not be used in a vehicle.

I think the chest clip needs to be moved up. Looks a little low. And tighten the straps. Then you'll be good to go. NOT!!!!

Well really, I think the chest clip is way too high and the straps are too tight.

I saw it. I'm just trying to make sure people know I'm kidding in case someone who really doesn't know much about seats sees this.

It looks to be in good shape, actually. Glad that little girl left so much safer.

Of course! I'd rather my child smack his noggin directly on the plastic than on the half centimeter thick padding

It's in excellent shape for a seat that's 5 years old. The cover isn't faded, dirty, ripped anything. Looks like it probably wasn't used very much or else was very well taken care of. The parents obtained it on a local CL-type site so we don't know the history.

Or everything was ripped off before it was listed for sale and thrown in the laundry.

I love your DS' face - "You've got to be kidding me!"
