HOW is it that people still do this?? GRR. i grabbed them before some poor unsuspecting urm.. person.. did, so i get to have carseat destroying fun!!!! YAY!! anyone want to come over and help me??

the naked seat is a breverra, exp date 2006
i didnt check the dates on the other two.

Not Nifty...Grand!

LOL, yeah, it was a Grand Cargo, could be adjusted from the front and the back--like a rear adjust snugride-- to account for any sized houdini-children (unlike the Chase with the terminal ends and the 'choke a little kid with the on-harness adjuster dealie).

So I had all those seats at around the same time, talk about a flashback!

wildeyes · May 6, 2009

so whats the other one?? the one with the clip belt holders? or whatever they are.. i am not up to date on my carseat speak anymore LOL.

joolsplus3 · May 6, 2009

Oh, the other one is the Cherished Cargo, I'm pretty sure (that's really the one I had two of, and was mad the plaids didn't match...).

Shoulderbelt guides, I think you mean?

Maedze · May 6, 2009

I don't think the other one is a cherished. Didn't the Cherished only have rear adjusters?

joolsplus3 · May 6, 2009

Oh no, I was absolutely obsessed with these seats, researched them for hours, it's definitely a Cherished, I HAD to have it, bought two. Actually, nearly had to throttle my dh when he came home with an Eddie Bauer HBB because 'the guy at kmart said it's the same'. lol! There's some other named one that was rear adjust, though...off to check the pictorial...

Ah hah, the Treasured had the rear adjust

mcomommy · May 6, 2009

Wow, ick lol

christineka · May 6, 2009

The rear adjusting cargo was the Treasured. I had it because it was only $60. It was a pain in the patootie, especially when it was spring time and dd sometimes wore her big, puffy coat, and sometimes didn't. (Yes, I now know that coats need to be removed for car seats.)

Maedze · May 6, 2009

The Treasured, not the Cherished :doh:

Amaris · May 6, 2009

We had the one that was front adjust (either treasured or cherished) for M in 02 before we knew about erf.

wildeyes · May 6, 2009

well i will have dh peek at the labels before he takes them to work and put them in the compactor. gotta settle this once and for all LOL

Yep, it's important ot know if you are treasured or cherished, you know!

joolsplus3 · May 6, 2009

That's Bitsy in it, slightly before age two...a year before I bought her MA to RF her again...

(and yeah, that's a Century clip, and yeah, it was before Graco bought Century...so it was baaaad to use the wrong chest clip, but ugh, I couldn't stand that one-piece thing that came with it originally, it made the straps all twisty! So that's why it says Century on the chest clip, lol).

Victorious4 · May 6, 2009

I. Hate. Breverras. They're evil. Well, for installing for use with harness, but, to be fair, it made a decent booster at the time. Still, I hatehatehate them

I can't see a picture?

joolsplus3 · May 6, 2009

Sheesh, the one time I get a picture to work, someone can't see it anyway.

Click on my screenname and the right of the page has my album, it's in there...the blue eyed cutie on her way to the hairdresser for a bang trim in the ugly plaid seat, lol.

zeo2ski · May 6, 2009

I can't see your pic here either Jools, but I clicked the album and man she was a cute toddler!

I make DH pick up the gross ones, lol.

I hate them too.. They were the ONLY seat that I could not properly install in my Ford Focus. Actually, I did get it installed, but it ended up twisting the shoulder belt in the buckle about 3 seperate times before I finally got installed properly. I was so glad that stupid seat wasn't mine and i never had to use it again.

Exactly! I hated it even before I found this forum. After I learned so much here & had had a hands-on seatcheck, I attemped to install DD's older half-sister's Breverra in various cars without any success. I took great pleasure in watching biodad put it through the table saw when it expired

& I do so wish I'd had a camera then for a picture of that, sigh....

I was surprised that I was the only tech to raise a hand as having attempted to install this vile seat

p) before at one of the workshops of the regional NHTSA conference a couple yrs ago

Once upon a time they were so frighteningly popular locally! Perhaps the other techs were used to doing seatchecks through low-income distribution program & only ever installed the same seats (Gracos, I think)

lookie what i grabbed from the side of the road
