The seat will still be warm but it seems to keep the buckles from getting so hot that they hurt. Whenever possible I try to open the doors and turn the car on a few minutes before putting the kids in, it helps a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901777 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:10:58 +0000 immabeetoo 901777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: it works well for us! I have a backseat window shade cling thing too which cuts down on sun as well. The sheet was dirt cheap so worth a shot before you buy the fancy one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901773 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:10:17 +0000 allison 901773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: yeah, I'm a baby gear research nerd. I should probably do something else during naps, but I'm obsessed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901748 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:06:57 +0000 kiddosc 901748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never even seen something like this. We live in Texas and it's been hot since... well it never really got unhot this year. We leave the seat uncovered and it's never been an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901737 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:04:03 +0000 allison 901737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I've thought about this, too, but didn't know if it worked? I wasn't sure if the reflective material was clutch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901718 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:01:27 +0000 MrsF 901718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never even thought about it! It's been hot here lately too. I'll have to feel the buckles before I put her in next time. Hopefully I would have noticed if they were super hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901672 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 14:47:31 +0000 immabeetoo 901672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a white fitted crib sheet and it works like a charm! Otherwise the buckles get super hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901646 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 14:35:28 +0000 BeachMama 901646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started keeping a blanket in my car that I'll just throw over the seat when I'm parked out in the sun. I haven't noticed the seat getting too hot though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901578 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 14:09:01 +0000 heffalump 901578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in Florida and we don't use one. I've actually never seen it before..... but I don't feel the need for it. It never gets too hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-car-seat-cover-for-your-convertible#post-901571 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 14:08:04 +0000 allison 901571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved LO to a convertible car seat, and I'm wondering how necessary a sun shade/cover is? Like this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Helper-Car-Seat-Shade/dp/B00125NZSQ/ref=pd_cp_ba_2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Helper-Car-Seat-Shade/dp/B00125NZSQ/ref=pd_cp_ba_2</a></p> <p>Do you use one? Is it worth it? Let me know which one you have in the comments, please!</p> <p>Do you not use one? </p>
