Car Seat in 98 Pontiac POLL ADDED

[Misfitdolly]

These are either 3 different seats or 1 and 3 are the same seat with different covers. none are bare bones seats, they all have a cover on them. I believe they are all 3 Eddie Bauer brand but 2 is a different model, it has armrests build into the seat like this one [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009WIBGO/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0006N8YSQ&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=017VE94WQ6KRK1DB56NM"]Amazon.com: Eddie Bauer Vantage Highback Booster, Blue: Baby[/ame]
but 1 and 3 do not.
On some models the harness strap padding is removable, they just wrap around the harness and velcro in place but on the Eddie Bauer seat I had (they are very bad car seats btw) the straps were sewn on but if you took the whole harness off of the seat you could slide them off the top and potentially put a different colored pad on it.
I just noticed that the harness straps themselves appear to be grey on seat 3 and black on seat 1. It is possible to change the harness straps but I doubt someone would go to the trouble to change everything on the seat including the harness straps. If you had another seat to swap out the cover and the harness straps wouldn't you just swap the seats? IMO these pictures show 3 different seats.

Bumpin' to get some opinion on the 3 photos.. Different/same?

I think that they are 3 different seats.

#1 seems more black with very little accents of dark grey
Very wide and puffy

#2 seems black with more accents of light grey also wide and puffy

#3 Different altogether. Much thinner base is light grey or taupe, accents
seem darker grey or darker taupe. This is the only one that has side
buckles in red/orange.

Cindy what did you do?

The orange on the side would not be seen from a frontal view photo. Pic #1 could have the same orange on the side. I do think they are 3 different seats but 1 and 3 are the same model, different colors.

Well one things for sure, LE has possession of more photos of the seat taken into evidence, and probably more photos taken from the A's home where the car seat is featured.
I think from the depo is can be surmised that LE knows something, and that something will be in evidence at the trial.
The differences between the seats will be more evident with more photos and the seats themselves in evidence.

Me thinks Cindy is in deep doodah with the carseats.. Can't wait for the TADA! moment when the SA feeds it to her on the stand..

Well it seems cindy still has "her" carseat in the attic. Why aren't they picking that up before she has a garage sale?

It is clear to me that carseat #1 and carseat #3 are different! Great find! I have been reading WS for months, but never joined, and I had to join just to say I agree these are different carseats!

Also, on one of the threads they are discussing 2 different Mama dolls. In that thread, there is one more view of carseat #1.

So glad you decided to join in ~ I love your name! Thanks for the info on the other picture. And . . .

Anyone know how to bring that photo over here and add it to the other 3?

I will try, but now I can't remember what thread it is on! I will look, though... maybe we can just ask whoever posted it to post it over here, too.

So...if in fact she did a switch...the question is why? To remove evidence (ie: blood) or merely odor control? And why does she begin to cry when the carseat subject starts? The whole inside of the car stunk to high heaven..would changing the carseat or cover make a difference? I think she switched it because she saw blood. Which takes me back to the missing upper left lateral incisor...and the theory that Casey hit Caylee while she was in the carseat.

I agree with you on this. Casey could have even thrown something at her, put her in the carseat so violently she hit her tooth while getting in the car(the top part of the car while the door is open. No matter what the situation was, something is being hidden. I have a gut feeling this will appear in doc dumps later on...the syringe as well.

That is the link that Harmony2 posted on the Evidence thread that has the picture. I can't seem to copy the pic, though. I will try something else and see if I can get it to copy.

maybe this will work - if not, I give up!

ETA: it worked.

Thank You for your post. Casey likes to give clues to Lee with their code talk. Cindy we are finding out likes to plant new tidbits of info she plans to manipulate into a defense tactic. It's become a regular occurence and a lot of us on here do not trust anything Cindy offers as the truth.

Your theory above would fit perfectly if LE found out those new seat covers for the Pontiac were in use, but Cindy is saying they never were put on, and she is now saying they were missing from the trunk. Very good sleuthing, woe.be.gone. We know Cindy usually throws these things into the story for a reason.

Wish we could figure out if the crime happened in the car.

And Why?

As I read CA's depo further (I can only handle 75 pages at a time), she says they have the extra seat covers for the Pontiac at home. They revisited the subject later in the depo.

I sure hope LE confirms this and goes to see/get the never used covers. Also I hope they have a way to verify that the covers CA claims to have at home weren't conveniently picked up yesterday if you know what I mean.

And now with the possible switcharoo on Mama Doll, which I hadn't heard of until today, my suspicion is even higher. What was on the doll besides smell? Why switch it over the smell alone when the whole car smells the same..?

THE SEAT OCSO HAS:

NONE OF THE COVERS LOOK THE SAME. SEE PIC #1..HOW HIGH THE BACK INSERT GOES?
SEE #2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER 2
SEE PIC # 3 BACK INSET MUCH LOWER THAN PIC #1

ALL 3 DIFFER.

I say Cindy changed the seat cover.

Also, if you look at the left side of carseat #1 (our left), there is an insert of something in the left upright part. But in carseat #3, that insert seems to be missing.

I tried to lighten it, hope this helps.

I guess I haven't been a member long enough to view this image. Can you post the actual image? TIA

I am not sure, it is the same pic you posted, I didn't realize you had posted it, I move a little slow sometimes

Now, if we could get Judge Judy to interrogate Cindy...I would pay for a ticket to see that.
