What a surprise to me to stumble across this vintage crash test web page from CR...back in 1972 of all years! Shows crash tests for several seats produced at the time including a Strolee #590 which I've been hunting for as a collectable item.

Looking at the photos, it sends chills down my spine thinking how many parents had their children riding in these "safety" seats back then, most unaware the seats wouldn't hold up well in an accident situation. Sad to think about the unfortunate children who experienced first hand just how unprotected they actually were in a crash.
