How old is that Roundabout? There's one at Piper's school. I think it's probably what, 2003? 2002? Getting there, but I don't know for sure.

They switched from blue to the white base by August of 2000 so is expired. Not sure of when the animal print cover was out though. Starting in the end of 2000, it had the white base which was more rounded then today's base. In the fall of 2002, they switched to the newer base which is used today.

Oh goodness. I haven't peeked into the car (honest, I haven't) to look at the base. I've just seen the blue shell as I've been buckling Piper.

Ok, where was the sticker with the DOM in that day and age? The seat is clean and looks good, so I would assume the sticker is still on it. Is it up by the shoulder where they are now?

I never had a blue shelled RA, but on my 2002 RA with the older base style, the white mfg date sticker is located just under the instruction stickers on the side of the seat (not sure if it was the left or right side). Maybe they had the sticker in the same place on the older blue RA. It wasn't hidden under the cover like today's stickers.

My RA was May '01 and the sticker was on the side. Easy to see when snooping through the window. :whistle:

I.Haven't.Snooped.Through.The.Window! LOL But I will!! Of course Piper is out today, she may have chicken pox so she may be out until next week, but I'll see it again. I've seen it before. I'll bring my camera (zoom feature) and see if I can spot it, then leave my card.

That exact seat was available when I bought DD's first RA (blue base, red lockoffs, denim cover :love:), made in 1999.

LOL on the camera zoom!

Hope Piper's feeling better- are you hoping for pox?

I *was* hoping for pox. For three years I tried to expose her. She was mildly exposed once (sat next to a girl in art class who ended up with it, but it was a mild case and she never coughed on Piper), then I got her vaccinated before school, and then she was exposed after her vax when two girls in her class had it. So I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Luckily they're pretty mild, just around her neck right now, and she has a doctor's appointment in an hour to see exactly what they are. But they're looking and acting like pox.

Thanks! I'm going to check out that seat the next time I'm there. I don't know whose car it is (I'm getting to know cars). If that is a nine year old Britax, though, I can send them the link to the 10 year old Britax and it'll be far more accurate probably than sending it to people who have a six year old one day Britax.
