Rescued this seat from the side of the road. It is an Onboard 35. It has a DOM of 5/09. It was disgustingly dirty but I cleaned it all up (even put the harness in the wash) and it will be used as a demo seat for the car seat portion of our Baby Basics program at work (no actual baby's will be in this seat, just dolls). It came out sparkly clean (I have before pics if anyone is interested) and Gavin loved it.


ETA: The grimy before pics of the seat are in post #12.


I will start out by saying this does not look like that big of a seat after using an SS1 with Gavin but, um, Gavin almost fit in it and he outgrew his SS1 at around 10mo!

Gavin weighs in at 34.5lbs fully clothed and he is about 38" tall.

Seat tilted upright.

The harness slots weren't even that far down behind his shoulders!

And him loving the crazy ride I was giving him in the seat.

And for size reference here is Gavin in one of his classic MA's:

The legrooms not bad at all but he did keep his legs curled up the entire time he was in it. Can you tell he's still ERF.

You might keep an eye on your CL to make sure someone didn't leave it by accident. One of the girls on Stroller Swap left her stroller by accident beside the road, otherwise I wouldn't think about someone leaving on accident. It looks to be well cared for!

Nope, it was on top of a pile of trash and it was disgustingly dirty. I took it completely apart, threw the cover, canopy, and harness (it will not be used with a real baby) in the washer, and I scrubbed the seat down. That's why it looks well cared for.

It really is a deceptively huge seat.

Ew! I'm hoping the yuck is from sitting in the trash and not when a bambino was in there. Ick. I can't believe how he fits in that seat. And I can't believe how big he looks. Slow down kiddo!
