When did Chicco make a convertible seat?

I was at the post office today and the car parked next to me had an interesting seat in it. It was installed FF (center) but I distincly saw a lable on the side that referenced RF, so it must have been a convertible.

It looked old. Had beige straps and a blue cover, which struck me as funny. I think it had a 5 pt harness (definitely no OHS). And I saw silver metal clips/brackets attached to the outside of the seat near where the child's knees would fall. They looked like the seat belt would thread through them when RF - they sort of looked like 1/2 of an old-style chest clip (paperclip style).

I couldn't spend much time examining it because there was another woman sitting in her car in front of me and I would have looked like a freak (more like the carseat geek that I really am ;-). But I think I saw half of a Chicco label on the cover. The pictorial doesn't mention a Chicco convertible. I couldn't tell if there was a chest clip, but maybe it was European? Anyone recall such a seat?

Not that this really matters for anything, I'm just being curious.

It actually sounds like the old Fisher Price Safe Embrace convertible. We had one, and it really was a good convertible car seat. It was good for eight years, so its possible that the seat was not expired yet.

Good catch, I didn't pay much attention past the "I thought I saw a chicco label". I just reread it and I think you're right on the money. Those paperclip things are the built in rf lock offs.
