No clue but had to comment on how adorable you, those sunglasses, that seat are (were) lol!! We had ugly brown leather / metal looking contraptions and I was born in '85.. they were likely handed down and probably expired lol!

 

[KaysKidz]

An expired seat w/after market cover. My dd was born in '90, and they did not have seats w/metal bases anymore. I bet that seat was at least 10yrs old when you were in it!

Thanks . I found another picture of my brother in a seat that looked like this but it was baby blue carpet looking material & it had straps. He is 2 yrs younger than me so I am thinking maybe this was a custom made cover? I will have to ask my mom later.

Do you know what it was called? & they had aftermarket covers back then? Lol

Yep, they did. I had one for DD...and aftermarket headrests too! That one looks homemade though...

P.S. Not sure on the name of the seat though. It's not a Strolee....I can tell you that. LOL

Check the album of the member classicseats. He has all sorts of them.

Someone could have made the covers. I gotta say that one is way cuter than the black/brown vinyl they typically were.

First pic on the left looks like yours based on the shape of the OHS.

Yep it does look like it! Did they have chest clips like that though? That one looks like a 5 pt w/ a shield.

 

[KaysKidz]

They had 5 pt harnesses, even back in the '70's. Yours is missing, or just not in use.

The one in his pic doesn't go with that seat. That's a Century chest clip, and they did not have clips like that. They were seat belt material with a snap on them.

Ok that makes sense

Was there a weight limit for the harness? & then it turned into a booster?

 

[lovemy2kidstw]

Ok I found a seat identification guide & it looks like an Evenflo Kantwet One Step. It says manufactured beginning in 1987. I was born in 88 so that would make sense

Darn! I knew that! I had that seat for one of my kids. It was originally blue corderoy.

I was born in 87 and I had a Century T shield that had the metal frame. I know the seat was purchased in March 87.

Yes, it had a weight limit, but I don't recall what they were. And no, it did not turn into a booster. Century was around in '87, so maybe that is the right chest clip if that seat was really from '87, though I'm having a hard time imagining that. In looking back at my dd's Evenflo seat (bought in '90) it was NOTHING like the one pictured. I just can't believe there would only be 3yrs between them.

This was my dd's seat in 1990. Well, this was a newer version, but the shell was the same. Hers didn't have the adjustable shield and the cover was different.

Yes! That is the color it is in the picture of my brother in it!!

I can believe they were that different! Just look at how much car seats have changed from 2009-2012. I'm assuming, that since I was bigger & didn't need the straps to hold me up, then they thought the shield would protect me :/

 

[lovemy2kidstw]

Ok I talked to my mom & she said that it was blue cordurouy & my grandma made the cover. She said I hated the straps & would pull my arms out of them & put them behind by back. I believe it, I was a little turd, lol. She couldn't believe that I figured out what seat it was.
