Our baby was born in January, and when we were ready to head outside (at about 3 weeks), she was already a bit big for her newborn outdoor clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-for-carseat#post-1839607 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 20:54:15 +0000 dolphin 1839607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-for-carseat#post-1838957 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 13:18:09 +0000 cheert16 1838957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @birdofafeather: DS was 19 inches- and only in NB for a couple weeks.

I want to make sure its not too big for the seat when she is born! Thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-for-carseat#post-1838918 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:58:20 +0000 birdofafeather 1838918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, totally fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-for-carseat#post-1838908 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:54:49 +0000 Adira 1838908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to know for sure because I can't tell how thick it is.</p> <p>We got this for Xander last winter: <a href="http://www.columbia.com/snowtop-ii-bunting-%E2%80%93-infant-SN0213.html?cgid=kids-baby-sets&#038;dwvar_SN0213_variationColor=431#start=5" rel="nofollow">http://www.columbia.com/snowtop-ii-bunting-%E2%80%93-infant-SN0213.html?cgid=kids-baby-sets&#038;dwvar_SN0213_variationColor=431#start=5</a></p> <p>It's just one layer of fleece, so it's not crazy warm, but it's definitely car seat safe. We put him in fleece pjs and the bunting and then had a blanket for the car and he was definitely warm and cozy enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-for-carseat#post-1838906 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:54:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1838906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's they type of thing DD wore last year (and will hopefully wear again this year.) They are amazing and safe because they aren't bulky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-for-carseat#post-1838903 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:52:57 +0000 Mamaof2 1838903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: yep - fleece is fine since it wont compress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-for-carseat#post-1838894 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:49:28 +0000 cheert16 1838894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this ok for a carseat for a winter baby? I put DS in a fleece zip up (like a northface- but not) in the winter for his carseat. I never had to worry about when he was an infant because he was born in April!</p> <p>If not this- any other ideas? My due date is 12/13 so it could be freezing!</p> <p><a href="http://www.carters.com/carters-baby-girl-jackets-and-outerwear-prams/V_127-908.html?dwvar_V__127-908_size=3M&#038;dwvar_V__127-908_color=Color#cgid=carters-baby-girl-one-pieces&#038;startRow=12&#038;navID=header&#038;start=18" rel="nofollow">http://www.carters.com/carters-baby-girl-jackets-and-outerwear-prams/V_127-908.html?dwvar_V__127-908_size=3M&#038;dwvar_V__127-908_color=Color#cgid=carters-baby-girl-one-pieces&#038;startRow=12&#038;navID=header&#038;start=18</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1184356 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:35:22 +0000 petunia354 1184356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: We have this jacket and I do let him wear it in his carseat.

I think it's fine. </p> <p>I'm glad to see others say the same thing though - I had been meaning to ask the group! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179393 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:43:03 +0000 Springtime 1179393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's totally fine. We have a similar coat and he wears it while in his carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179386 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:42:00 +0000 tinyperson 1179386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The best way to tell is to strap them in wearing the coat, then take them out without loosening the straps, and put them back in. If you don't have to tighten, then it's ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179368 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:39:29 +0000 kiddosc 1179368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fleece is perfectly fine since it's already compressed. The puffy coats that compress when you squeeze them are the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179322 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:29:19 +0000 Mamaof2 1179322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it looks perfect to me - assuming its a fleece </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178716 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:58:16 +0000 cheert16 1178716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I love that coat- so I am trying to justify buying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178705 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:56:25 +0000 mrsjyw 1178705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think that'd be okay! we have a similar patagonia fleece that is our "car coat" and seems to not be too bunchy like his puffy coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178702 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:56:10 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1178702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure, but can I just say how adorable that little jacket is?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178692 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:54:30 +0000 cheert16 1178692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you can't put a big puffy jacket on a LO in their carseat- but is this acceptable? Or too much? Not sure what to put him in to keep him warm when it starts snowing and stuff! </p> [attach=2545/13/mvdyuu.400x600.image.jpg]
