They are great! I'm curious... What are the top slot measurements on those, for sake of comparison to today's seats?
As always, thanks for posting!
I just went through your Pinterest, sending pictures to my mom. She thinks I had a Bobby Mac, but not with the shield. It was a handmedown from the babysitter who had several children (all born in the 1970s).
Which makes me wonder, did they have recommendations not to use secondhand seats back then? Like now, where you're told with an unknown history you shouldn't use it. Also, were there expiration dates on the older seats?
Hmm. I'll have to find old pictures - I remember looking at them a while ago and meaning to come here to ask you, actually, and never got around to it. Mom doesn't remember a shield. I wonder if we have it wrong (must find pictures!), or they used the seat wrong. Hmm.I don't remember hearing about expiration dates or history of seats back then. I'm sure there are members here who know a little bit more about that? The bobby mac had to be used with the shield FF. There was one bobby mac that didn't have a shield, the bobby mac super, but that wasn't released until the early '80's. Many seats had metal frame so plastics degrading wasn't an issue.
