It was only $10!

Oh, and it's expired too...in all honesty though, yes I did buy it off CL, yes it has a DOM of 1998, and yes it was NIB. I plan on using it as a teaching seat because of the harness adjuster system in the back...much easier than lugging a fricken AOE around.

Look how much room Reiker still has to grow in this thing though!!! I mean he's on the bottom slots and has tons of room at 13 months old.

That is great, who needs a SS1 w/ that?! Congrats on #5, you are going to be one busy mama. I had a dream last night that I saw someone w/ a pink FP SIV and I was like wow, that's expired. lol

Awwww - it's a FPSE-i!!!

Second fave infant seat after the FP-SIV.

And yeah - it would give the SS1 a run for it's money heighwise. But it's top weight was 22#. Oh - and it didn't have a base or a front adjustor either.

Which for my kids would last them until they are about, oh 18 months old...LOL.

Nope, no base, but it does have those beautiful FP built in metal lockoffs...oh I miss those, I really, really do.

The adjuster in the back isn't that bad to do though, I was actually surprised. :twocents:

I don't remember the adjustor - I had one briefly when I was pg with Ry but never used it.

And yes - the lock-offs were awesome.

Heightwise it was ALMOST as tall as the FPSE convertible.

ETA - CONGRATS!!!

*sniff*

I miss mine! It was the only IO seat I ever owned that I actually loved to use. (I loved the SIV too, but I never owned it because I couldn't justify buying it when I had a perfectly good FPSE-i to love)

Congrats on the awesome deal Mel! I used a FPSEi briefly when DS2 outgrew the SIV at 4 months old and I wasn't ready to ditch the carrier just yet. Now that I think about it, you have a picture of him in that seat on your preemie page, don't you?

It really was a niche seat. I couldn't imagine using it with a newborn but it was fantastic for an older child who was still under the wt limit. I perfected my baseless install technique using that seat for about 5 weeks
