These are my cousins. I know you said like 80's or so but... Sarah's sitting in the seat and she's 9 now. I know that Anna (the head from the side) rode in it first and I think they'd bought it used at that point too but I'm not sure... Anyone know what the seat is and when it was made maybe?? This was probably 7 years ago... actually I'm pretty sure. I know she was 2 so yeah. So... 2002? lol Wow...

I thought it had said Century on it but I'm not positive at all... I think you would know best. I remember in 1997 or 1996 when they bought it used I got paid to clean it out (I was 12) along with a boat load of stuff my aunt had bought at garage sales. lol I had no idea!

ETA: the frame was all metal, the bottom half like swung back and forth between upright and reclined.

It's hard to be sure from that photo. I'm taking an educated guess? But your description sounds like a One Step.

Before it was Evenflo, the One Step was marketed by Kantwet - maybe that's what you're remembering?

I had one of those for Josh in 1996. It was manufactured in 1988 IIRC though. (before I knew better).

Did the harness attach to the bottom of the shield and adjust from there?

Wow! These pictures are a fun "blast from the past" for me.:) I don't think we have any photos of our son in a car seat, but believe we do of our daughter in her Century seat, taken back in 1987. I'll have to dig it out of our family photos and post it here. Keep these enjoyable pics coming!:thumbsup:

These are late 80s European seats (Germany) (i'm the older kid)

FWIW Germany has always had a good booster law--all my life there I remeber riding in one, and even when I visited up until when I was 12 I had to use one.

Ok, I feel old! I was babysitting kids who were using these seats at the time....

I do remember a family I babysat for in the early 80's. They didn't use carseats or seatbelts and the 2 or 3 year old literally fell out of the car while they were driving. She was fine but I was appalled that she wasn't at least in a seatbelt!

i will have to ask my dad if he has any pictures of us in them, all of us born in the 70's . i know my oldest brother didn't have a infant seat, i know my 2nd oldest ( '74 i think) my mom special ordered a brand new rf infant safety seat from GM and the nurses when she left the hospital were appalled she was going to use THAT thing with the baby instead of holding him in the car...
i know we all pretty much rode in seats i think till i was about 3?? i do remember being in one!! i remember some kinda booster seat?? it maybe had a huge plastic bar that came over my lap... not like a shield seat though...when i think about it i picture an igloo... lol
