We wait to put jackets on until we get to our destination. A 15 second walk to the car isn't going to hurt her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats#post-982022 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:41:09 +0000 runsyellowlites 982022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I just checked &amp; it was a fleece body suit thing... so not really a "snow suit" (they just looked the same to me so I assumed) and it's not puffy... but was something that still covered the lo from head to toe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats#post-982014 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:39:16 +0000 looch 982014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have to be careful if the are filled with something like down or fiberfill, because they have air in the filler. </p> <p>Puffers are a big obvious no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats#post-982007 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:36:39 +0000 Koolbreeze 982007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a snuggie! It's perfect for car seats! </p> <p>You can put the coat on backward after you buckle them in. Thin fleece is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats#post-982001 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:34:11 +0000 runsyellowlites 982001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Eek! I thought I saw something in the car seat the other day that atleast resembled a snow suit?.... I'll definitely have to double check, maybe it was something else!</p> <p>It doesn't get that cold her so we've just always used a blanket! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats#post-981997 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:33:31 +0000 bisous 981997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a FTM, I didn't know this!

They can compress in an accident, causing the straps not to be tight enough.</p> <p>Thin fleece is okay and a blanket over the straps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats#post-981983 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:28:55 +0000 runsyellowlites 981983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Warm the car before going out, wrap them in a blanket, or if it's really cold I believe snow suits (where they're full body &amp; zip almost like jammies do) are okay.</p> <p>I think it's just one of those things inconvenient things you do to keep the littles safe. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats#post-981978 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:27:00 +0000 Bao 981978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard you shouldn't put LO in a car seat with a coat on, but then how do you keep them warm in the winter? Last winter she was in the infant car seat so it wasn't a big issue, but now she is in a convertible. </p> <p>How do you keep them warm, but still maintain their safety? </p>
