Subject:Infant Carseat Recommendations?
From:David Bogle
Date:Mon, 27 Sep 1999 23:36:35 -0400

Dear all,

I've looked back at some of the posts regarding child carseat
installations.  Nobody has recommended a particular seat.  I know they
change from year to year and now US Gov is requiring new cars to have a
tether anchorage.  New seats will have the tether, but these are only
for front-facing seats, I believe.

I need to get an infant seat (rear-facing) with removeable seat/base for
the fixed-back middle seat of my westy which has only lapbelts.  Anybody
know which current-market carseats would fit well?

It sounds like each seat has it's peculiararities regarding fitment.
The best method is to try one so I thought I'd ask the list which ones
you've tried.

I still need grey and black westy headrests.  This may be what I use for
a tether anchor someday.
