Coats and Car Seats don't go together

Keeping kids WARM & SAFE in their car seats is not as simple as you might think. Winter coats & snowsuits are UNsafe as they create extra bulk that leaves the straps too loose in a crash - causing the child to come to a jolting stop (or in some cases to be ejected from their car seat). 
Do the "magic coat trick" - dress your child in 3 thin, tight layers (for about 50 degree weather), buckle the child & get the straps snug, have the child hold out their arms and put the coat on BACKWARDS (over the straps). Now the child is safer AND more comfortable (when the car warms up, the child can pull the coat off to prevent overheating). !

Keeping babies WARM & SAFE in their car seats is not as simple as you might think. Sleeping bags, like the Bundle Me, "forget" to mention that they violate the instructions & void the warranty to every car seat. Snowsuits & coats are unsafe for the same reason - all create extra bulk in the harness that leaves the straps too loose in a crash - causing the child to come to a jolting stop (or in some cases to be ejected from their car seat).
