No need to fuss with a coat if you'll be outside for less than a minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-297451 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 16:06:05 +0000 JennyD 297451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking of fleece too. I'm thinking it will depend on what we're doing. If we can just schlep her into a store real quick wrapped in a blanket or into the house real quick, just a fleece sweater or jacket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-297040 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 01:56:23 +0000 looch 297040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring the coat and put it on in the car before we got out...but I made a rookie mom mistake and bought a puffer coat.</p> <p>This year, we're using a fleece. Should be more than warm enough for our needs, as when we're in transit we are not out for long periods. We have other options when we're playing outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-295580 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:40:46 +0000 betsyboop 295580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im not so worried about fall, but more about winter when it gets really cold! Like wind chill below zero cold and a fleece won't cut it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-295543 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:17:20 +0000 GrapeCrush 295543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am wondering the same thing. i love on the northeast and it snows here.....a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-295540 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:14:53 +0000 Mrsbells 295540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was only puffy jackets that compromised safety, so a fleece or pea coat should be fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-295530 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:11:37 +0000 Sammyfab 295530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested in hearing what other moms do in the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-295527 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:09:58 +0000 Weagle 295527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what we plan to do. Or use fleece since it's warm, but not thick enough to compromise safety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-carseats-during-the-winter#post-295346 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:48:51 +0000 betsyboop 295346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This could potentially be a really stupid question, but given coats aren't recommended to be worn when babies are in car seats, what do you do during the winter when your baby is in a convertible car seat? Do you just pack the coat in the car and put it on when you get to your destination? </p>
