Child's Sit-N-Stand Car Seat, 1965
Add to SetSummary
Montgomery Ward sold this "Tiny World Deluxe Sit-N-Stand Car Seat" in the mid-1960s. As suggested, little children could ride in a seated or standing position--a convenient feature for the parent. For protection, a catalog ad stated the seat's padding would absorb "bumps." Would you trust your child's safety in this seat today?
