I was going through some old photos today, putting together a small album of photos of my niece Carrie to show her over the years (today is her 20th birthday!) I came across two of her with some old car seats! Anyone have a clue as to what kind they are?

Carrie at 2 weeks old:

Carrie at 9 months in a seat that her older brother used. Did seats have expiration dates back then? I know my mother had this seat in her truck back in 1985 when my nephew was about 2. I remember her driving us to my high school (he was in the pre-school class in my high school's child development program!) and Geoff rode in this seat! It's huge!

I'm guessing the infant seat is an Evenflo Joyride. My cousin had that same seat.

I had one for my 19 year old, that I also used for my 13 year old.

Now this is funny: you had the same car seat that my niece did and DH and I had the same sofa that is in your picture! He picked it and I have to say, I was not very fond of it and was so happy when we finally got rid of it when we sold our old house and moved!!

Here it is in a few styles. I have the one on the right. It's in my album.

This is great! I see my nephew's seat there on the left! Hard to believe he fit in that seat. He's 27 now, just bought his first house and is now learning how to fly!! I remember that I was the one who was in charge of installing his seat in my mom's truck. I was 16 at the time. Too bad I don't have a pic of him in that seat!

Yep, she was born 8/2/90! Just after midnight! I remember her mom was just ready to have her but she was working on a baby blanket for her. My brother told her she wouldn't come out until she finished it. He was right; soon after she completed it, she went into labor!

She lives in California and is a college student. She was the first daughter I always wanted but never had!
