In the early 1970's General Motors introduced a white rear facing infant seat and a white forward facing child car seat. Does anyone have any photos of these seats? I used both for my children and would love to have pictures of these to show my kids today.

I rode in one! Sorry, no pics but I'm sure the classic seats poster does.

Google "GM love car seat" and click on the "images" tab. You'll find lots of pics.

Man... Why can't seats still be $13 and $30?!

My brother and I both rode in the RF one. It was handed down to us by my aunt. People thought my mom was crazy for putting us in seats.

Click to expand...

They were called the GM Infant Love Seat and the GM Child Love Seat.

The owner's manual for my 1979 Pontiac Bonneville has pictures and descriptions of both seats, if I can find it I'll scan the pages and post.

Member 'classicseats' has a blog, the GM is really... white. Easy to bleach down after a mishap, I guess? http://www.pinterest.com/vintageseats/vintage-car-seats/

I rode in a Teddy Tot. Heck, it was better than what was required by law (NOTHING!) at that time. My parents did the best they could. It just looks so... safe.

Here is the child love seat... Blue one is new with the box and paperwork. The first white one is mint in the box, the second one is pretty used. I do not have the infant seat model but I am always looking. Had a few years ago. Wish I never got rid of them now. See my pinterest page for more seats.
