I know the on my way (last made in 2000?) had a white shell. Have any newer model seats had a white shell?

The OLDER On My Ways had a white shell. By the time they stopped making them, I believe the On My Ways all had navy shells.

So, if it is an on my way, its going to be really old? Is there any other ones that had white shells?

I don't remember any embrace or discovery that did, so yeah, it is probably 2000 or 1990's.

I might do some research to find out if there is a safe kids' organization in the area that sells seats for a discount. Often people use ancient car seats because they don't have the money to buy new- or they are just too cheap to buy new. Speaking of, maybe a program discovery might have a white shell. I remember that the coalition I did checks with had a couple with covers that looked like my old on my way cover, but they had 5 point harnesses and doms of 2008 or 2007? Does the seat in question have a 3 point harness?

I had a Discovery in 1998 that had a white shell. It was a 3 pt harness with the paperclip chest clip.

Cute baby

Our donation seats *might* have a white shell. Either that or grey. So I'm no help.

I meant the newer ones. Sorry!





Does look like the Evenflo First Choice 5 was made until atleast last year, and it has white plastic.

I had a 3 point Discovery for DD in 2005 before I knew anything about car seats. It had a white shell and bright blue harness.

It has a five-point harness, with a paper clip style chest clip. The sticker on the handle is white with red lettering and a red arrow. It looks faded and torn

If it has a 5 point harness, it may just be a program seat. I think evenflo was making 3 point harnesses until 2008.

ETA- According to the pictorial, Evenflo started making 5 point harnesses for infant seats in 2007, so the seat should not be expired yet.

Yay!! Im so glad its not expired!! They just adopted her from their niece and I know they dont want anything to happen to her. I just wanted to make sure it wasnt expired along with the aftermarket products.
