It has nothing to do with age or size. That said you can find car seat safe coats. It's not a simple "no coats" rule.</p> <p>The csftl link above should be really helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats-2#post-2859219 Fri, 30 Nov 2018 00:31:05 +0000 bhbee 2859219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My understanding is that a thin layer (vs puffy coat) is safest for everyone regardless of age. It’s funny though, my oldest who is in a booster is so used to taking it off that even when I’ll say she can keep a thinner coat on she won’t do it! Doesn’t feel right I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats-2#post-2859218 Fri, 30 Nov 2018 00:19:30 +0000 bees_knees 2859218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids wear car seat safe coats! (right now I have one in a Columbia fleece, one in a Gap Prima Loft, and one in a Mamut)</p> <p><a href="https://csftl.org/hello-winter-good-bye-coats/" rel="nofollow">https://csftl.org/hello-winter-good-bye-coats/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coats-and-car-seats-2#post-2859217 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 23:43:02 +0000 SugarMaple 2859217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age/size can kids start wearing a coat in the car? When they switch to a seatbelt? That seems strange since I see parents choosing to switch to a booster at different times/ages.</p> <p>I can't find a recommendation from a safety study online. </p>
