You're in good company here if you are interested in child passenger safety!
We have some members who collect antique/retro seats, and others who have just been "around" long enough o) to have seen many seats that we now probably consider "retro."I remember my first few carseats. They were definitely "retro" compared to today's standards (though "modern" compared to the seats our collectors here have)! There was the Century SmartFit Plus, the Century SmartMove, the Century 2000, the Century Encore, the Graco Quest, the Eddie Bauer Overhead Shield, the Evenflo Ultara V, the Evenflo Medallion, the Evenflo On My Way, and a variety of others. Ah, those seats of the mid-to-late 90's! (I was a nanny, which is why I had SO many seats-- lots of kids!)

Wow...I remember my sister sitting in one of those seats with the bar that comes down over the front!
I noticed that some of the links you posted go to sites where these seats are for sale? Please tell me they're for collectors or movie props or something and aren't being sold for actual use?!

I have a feeling the seat isn't actually available. Some of those seats are from 1995-1999.
