Child's Sit-N-Stand Car Seat, 1965
01
Artifact Overview
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?

The first state laws requiring child safety seats -- passed in 1978 -- not only protected young passengers, they also stimulated the market for the seats themselves. Automakers, baby products companies and toy manufacturers all got into the safety seat business at various times. This 1988 advertisement promotes the comfort and convenience of a seat produced by toymaker Fisher-Price.
