I hope I am posting this in the right area. I found some pictures of car seats that I used as a baby and thought I'd share them. Can you imagine what our kid's will think looking back on the seats we used for them when they're older considering how far we've come since the 80's?.

Here's my infant seat. It's not the greatest picture because of my scanner but the straps are under the blanket.

This is the seat my parents moved me into next after market cover and all. I was about 8 or 9 months old here.

LOL! My mom still has a booster that she used for us kids in the 80's it was actually advanced. It had a rear tether point that attached to a red harness to be used with a lapbelt. I don't think she has the harness but I know she has the booster as it works great as a booster for the table.

You sure were a cute baby. I don't think I blame your parents for putting an aftermarket cover on that one carseat. I don't think I would want to sit on vinyl padding on a carseat, especially in the summer.

you're lucky to have picture of you in seats. when we went home for christmas i looked through every picture album hoping to find a picture of me or my sisters in a carseat but alas i found none :(
somehow, even though i was 5 at the time i remember that my sisters were in what had to have been the century 2000 ste t-shield, i vivdly remember the cover being like a terry cloth

No doubt! One of my 1st memories is of a school field trip when I was in PreK -- it was a private school, so all the kids from every grade (through 8th) fit in 2 passenger vans.... I just remember sitting there the whole ride, crying that they forgot my big beach towel: my little thighs were BURNING & sticking to my yucky vinyl shield booster :eek::crying:

The brown vinyl one is just like the one my sister had when she was a baby. She was born in '84...
