Infant safety carrier and Child safety seat
I was paging through my manual tonight and read that GM produced these car seats. Does anyone have one or a picture of them? Sounds odd that the car manufacturer would make a child seat, but then again there wasn't Babies R Us back in the day...

Re: Infant safety carrier and Child safety seat
Might be cool to see what they looked like, but I doubt they would be acceptable by today's standards. Here in Cali my brother in law was told by a highway patrol that car seats over 3 years old aren't accepted by state law. They prolly wouldn't bother people about it but my BIL was driving like a jack a$$ with his 3 year old in the truck (you should have heard how my wife ripped her bro a new one about that!) and the officer was writing him up for anything he could find. My parents were telling me about the seats they had when I was a kid (I'm 28 now), and I saw some pictures and they weren't anywhere near advanced as the ones we have today. Hell, back when these trucks were made seat belts were a new innovation.

Re: Infant safety carrier and Child safety seat
Yeah for sure...I'm definitely not gonna go put my 2 month old in one, but i'd be cool see one.
The manual went on to say that as soon as the child can sit up by themselves they should be placed on a cusion and belted using the factory lap belts so that he can see out the window. Also, if the child must STAND, he should stand behind the drivers seat as to not be thrown forward in a crash. Ha, times have changed!

Re: Infant safety carrier and Child safety seat
lol my dad sat on the glovebox of our 53 chevy belair when he was a kid, and bent it, still bent too!
He said they used to be climing all over the back seats playing while driving down the road lol. Times have changed...
