[gaelicpeas]

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

lol, no worries. At the rate I am going this morning, I will have enough posts soon to view it!

I used the insert image icon to post the pic. But maybe I am able to view mine since it is saved to my computer now, but can't view yours? lol, I am too new here to know exactly why I can't see it. Sorry...

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

Yeah! If it doesn't make sense, it's a lie...or something to that effect.. That would be an event to see! Imagine those two in the ring.. Cindy would put up one h@ll of a contest, but I believe JJ would smack her down in finality.

Hey guys.....a bit OT. This thread is 6 pages long and there were zero tags. I added some, but please take time to review tags and add when needed. It will make searches much easier. No tags means good info we are missing.

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.

Hiya Gael, it's me Scampi....... :woohoo:

I think carseat #1 and carseat #3 are the same carseat and here's why: That black insert (the piece that actually says 'Eddie Bauer') that Caylee is leaning up against in #1 is the same insert as in #3, only it is up much higher in #1. If you look at where the holes are for the harness to come through that black insert, in pic #3, they are quite low... because the black insert is down lower. In pic #1, the harness couldn't have been that low or it would have been at or even below Caylee's waist.

Plus you can tell by the handles where Caylee has her hand rested that the two are exactly the same in that area, as well.

I googled images for Eddie Bauer carseats..and the shoulder straps all originate from very low on the backrest area.

Thank you for your research, and I understand what you are saying... but since neither of those carseats are the same as the ones in the pictures, it is really hard to compare them. I was referring to specifically THAT carseat.

Gotcha..wish I could find the exact on online. I just noticed something else too though. Comparing pic's number 1&3...See on the grey part where there appears to be an insert of possibly different fabric? Note the difference how low it is on #3 and much higher on #1...and the grey part of the seat is fixed, whereas the black backrest may be an insert and moveable (ie: slide down)..
Look from the peak of the grey part at the top of the chair and visually track down the edge of the seat to where that fabric insert begins on both.. They look different.

Sorry for my wretched Paint Skills..

Doesn't the distance on #1 look shorter than #3? In #1 the top of her head looks to be 2-3 inches from the top of the seat...look where that fabric top is... Place her in seat # 3, again top of head 2-3 " from the top...that fabric would be much lower.

That black insert is actually what I was referring to when I said one is higher than the other... I think it is adjustable and can be moved up and down. That's one of the reasons I believe they are the same carseat.

But do you agree that the grey part of the seat would be fixed? The top of that side fabric insert measures about mid-face with her head 2-3 inches from the top of the actual seat. If she was sitting in seat #3 with her head 2-3 inches from the top...the top of the fabric insert wouldn't reach her face. I agree.. the black pad may be moveable, but not the grey.

Yes, I absolutely agree that the lighter grey fabric is fixed... and the black is most likely adjustable. That was my original reason in believing those two seats are the same carseat.

Ok..then visually pull up the black insert on #3 to the top of the chair... Look where the Eddie Bauer logo would be in comparison to the top of the grey fabric insert on the left of the chair. Now look at chair #1, with the insert already up to the top. Compare THAT Eddie Bauer logo position with the top of the fabric insert on the left. Way differerent. The grey part of the chair looks different in 1 and 3.

LOL... I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one. To me, the 'Eddie Bauer' logo looks to be in exactly the same position on the black insert in both pic #1 and pic #3.

The logo, I agree, would probably be in the same place if that black part was slid up.

BUT, I agree with lizzy that these are 2 different carseats. That part on our left side looking at the pics is very different, IMO. Plus, why would the adjustable part be UP in an earlier pic, then DOWN in the evidence pic, obviously taken later.

Lizzy, you should forward these pics to the SA, IMO.

I am not disagreeing that the logos would both be in the same place if the black pad in seat 3 were pulled up. Yes. They would be the same. But the distance from the logo (both pulled up, to an equal level) would be a different distance to the top of the grey fabric insert on the arm to the left of each seat. The distance on #3 is longer than #1. That's why I drew the red marker on that pic to illustrate it.
It's not that i'm trying to force feed my opinion... I just don't think we aren't on the same page with the focal point on the pic I am failing miserably at describing. I am specifically making reference to the grey part inconsistencies, not the black cushion. Sorry for the confusion. Hey..no one has to agree, i'm ok with that..just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

I completely agree with what you are saying, Lizzy. Plus, not only that inconsistency, but that part on the left side on the evidence pic is MISSING.

So you understand what I was comparing? Whew. My downfall is articulating what's in my head sometimes!! LOL. I can see it but I can't say it simply and clearly.. Do you think the 2 distances are different or the same? What part is missing on the evidence pic?

 

[sumbunny]

Caylee got bigger not smaller..Why would the insert be smaller if she were bigger?
It makes no sense.

I do believe they are different carseats. Completely different colors as well.

noto different carseats per say *both the same type of carseat* just not the one casey always had in her car.
They are the same seats, different colors imo
and the inserts aren't identical. One sits lower then the other.

IMO as the child gets bigger the insert would be higher. Depending on where the straps are located. The bigger the child the higher the straps are..moving the insert higher along with the straps. Smaller children have lower straps, as the child ages, the straps are moved higher. *(thus moving the insert)

MOO

I think it's the same seat. Most infant seats are good until about 40lbs. My daughter is just 40 lbs at 4 years-old. The middle section goes up to accomodate the shoulder straps, as you raise them as the child gets taller. The head rest found in the 1st pic comes off. JMO.
