Those carseats are hard to find because they are being phased out as they are LESS SAFE than a 5 point harness.
"The harness with tray shield (B), also called an "overhead shield," has shoulder straps attached to a curved plastic bolster, which is in turn attached with pivot arms to the sides of the CR shell and held down by a crotch strap and buckle. The tray shield was designed to take the place of the lap straps while being easier to use. Some harnesses can be removed from the shield for cleaning, but it is essential to re-connect the harness for the systems to work properly. Many parents perceive that the shield is more protective than straps, but this is not the case and the opposite may be true. This harness/shield system is not suitable for small babies, since it cannot be made to fit a small body tightly, and the shield may interact with a small child's neck or face. Some tray shields are adjustable, which improves fit somewhat."
"Safety experts have concerns about CRs with shields. Tray shields usually are not covered with energy-absorbing padding to protect the head if it hits the shield. This contact is more likely with a shorter child and a loose harness. In a test series with a 12-month-size dummy, peak head acceleration was 35% higher for tray shield restraints than for 5-point harnesses. At least one child (19 lb) is known to have received a fatal head injury from contact with a tray shield. For T-shields, there is a concern that the throat of a small child may be injured from contact with the top of the shield during a crash. In the same series of crash tests, neck forces were 40% higher for T-shields than for 5-point harnesses, and the crotch load with T-shields was 2.7 times higher than with 5-points. See Weber, 2000."
That being said... I suppose they are better than nothing and you can get them at BabyDepot.

check out the book "Baby Bargains" - they review all the different kind of seats. We have one that has the side-impact head thing but it doesn't have a tray like that...but it's a great seat!

I think I remember seeing one of these at Walmart. I just looked on Walmart's website and they do have one that is similar to the one that your parents are looking for.
