Hmmm, the booster is not THAT bad. The lap belt looks like it's on his lap and it has a nice harness. Could be tighter.

Wow! That is so interesting. That is the year my DH was born (June 83). I was born in Jan 84. I wonder if I had one of those? I will have to ask my dad tomorrow.

I had a 1989 version of the One Step (first ad) for Josh (born 1996). Complete with the yellow gingham cover also shown on this page.

LOL, that cover helped to prevent shock from too hot or too of a cold seat. :thumbsup:

I believe I have a few of those covers somewhere? I found seats with the covers still on already.

We had the molded plastic booster. I have vivid memories of the lovely color and weird texture.

My little brother and I had the plastic boosters. Sometimes we only used them as seats in the cargo area of the station wagon.

I can't believe one dd was born 2 yrs after these seats came out and the next dd has a Regent.

Kept his chubby baby legs from sticking to the vinyl too! :thumbsup: (joking)

Oh the things I've learned in the last 12 years!


The church I attended as a teen had a bunch of the boosters w/ harness on the first page. They were still using them in the daycare van in the early 90's.

Things were really brown back then, weren't they? (Well, except for the yellow.)

I really like that yellow cover. Reminds me of Vera Bradley stuff. Maybe Britax needs to make some cool "Vera Bradley" covers lol! I'd buy one.

I used to have that safe-t-rider booster! I rode in it from the age of 9-??.. It was okay. Not the most comfy thing.. SUPER heavy though. And since there weren't shoulder belts in the back seat of our station wagon, I used just the lap belt.. And the real reason I even had it was so I could see out of the window and stop complaining.. LOL.
Mine didn't have a harness though..

I am thoroughly impressed with that Safe-T-Rider and harness from 20 - 65 lbs.
