If I had taken this, I’d probably have gotten a 4 or something. And my title would be “Gah, why don’t you just go look at the Graco seats!”
Actually, HUGS pads were the fix for a RA recall that was announced in early summer 2000. The recalled RAs were made from 1/1999 – 3/1999 so it was only a small batch of seats that were affected. The Super Elite HUGS recall fix came later.
“Number 10 is a trick question. Hugs were first added to the roundbout as a recall fix. ”
Wasn’t it for the super elite? I don’t think the RA has ever had HUGS.
Heather – don’t let me hold you back! LOL
Emily – you’re right! I never even thought about the RA recall fix. You can give yourself extra credit for that! 😀
Can I have a drink yet?
