Like for a walk from home... I would think if you drove somewhere it'd be difficult to take the bebe out of the carseat to put on the cover &amp; then go on your stroll (shopping, walking, etc) and then take baby back out to remove the cover to drive back home.. (sounds complicated). And I might also think that even in cases where the carseat was not in the vehicle &amp; something happened (stroller tipped/seat fell) it could/would bring up the same issues? idk.</p> <p>FWIW Our travel system is actually light &amp; dark grey so very gender neutral &amp; I think with one of the canopy choices your system would easily be very girly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824415 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:24:49 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 824415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I do too....I did think about gender when buying, but....I just want the girl to have something special because her brother already used the red. Can you tell I'm aching for a girl? ;) I would obviously love either; I just want another! Anyways: half if me says I shouldn't bother covering.</p> <p>@shopaholic: glad you were thinking the same! They have great options on etsy! So you think the black &amp; white polka dot would match the all red stroller?</p> <p> @runsyellowlites: funny you say that! I was thinking the same because this selling that sells the covers actually has a disclaimer on her page! But I was thinking, I could use te cover for times when in pushing the stroller and have the carseat attached. I don't care so much what it looks like in the car. But, I wanted something cute for everywhere else. That could be a good enough compromise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824413 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:22:54 +0000 sunny 824413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a girl and we have the exact stroller system so I don't think you need a cover... :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824405 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:20:07 +0000 Weagle 824405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't cover, for reasons already listed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824361 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:41:05 +0000 luckypenny 824361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of covers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824354 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:40:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 824354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: They aren't crash tested so the carseat manufacturers wouldn't be "liable" for any issue they caused with the products use. And things like carseat straps (which should NOT be washed) have flame retardants on them which aftermarket products may or may not.</p> <p>You can see the manufacturers stance on the link on this page<br /> <a href="http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/aftermarket.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/aftermarket.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824338 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:34:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 824338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the red is totally gender neutral. I wouldn't mess with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824335 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:33:09 +0000 shopaholic 824335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted all polka dot! Planning to do the same if we have a boy next time!</p> <p>@runsyellowlites: why would that void any warranty? Just wondering. I actually searched if I could buy a replacement car seat cover and only found these kind of options too. What if it were stained or ruined in the wash? How can you get a warrantied replacement? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824320 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:27:30 +0000 runsyellowlites 824320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that last canopy but I definitely wouldn't get an aftermarket caraway cover as they're unsafe &amp; will void any warrantees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824317 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:26:42 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 824317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To add: Both floral pictures are the same pattern, just different customization options. Like I said though, I'd get it to be entirely floral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824316 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:26:09 +0000 tlcbaby 824316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote canopy...cute and functional! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-cover-for-a-girly-carseat#post-824313 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:25:14 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 824313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we have a girl next (TTC in 8w!) then I want a carseat cover for my red carseat &amp; stroller set. Are either if the 2 following cute? They are just ideas. I can't afford to do a whole new stroller and car seat set!<br /> The covers I would get would be entirely the floral print. They wouldn't have black or red or any other color, just floral. Same goes for the polka dot cover: it would just be all around polka for without any other color in the body of the seat.</p> <p>I also am attaching photos of girly carseat canopies. I wouldn't get the exact ones shown but it is just to show an idea of how girly they can get. Should I keep the carseat as is and just throw a canopy over it to signify "baby GIRL"? </p> <p>By the way: totally option to suggestions! </p> [attach=2389/13/mnqme3.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=2389/13/mnqme4.320x324.image.jpg] [attach=2389/13/mnqme6.570x428.image.jpg] [attach=2389/13/mnqme7.570x570.image.jpg] [attach=2389/13/mnqme9.570x356.image.jpg] [attach=2389/13/mnqmea.570x428.image.jpg] [attach=2389/13/mnqmec.570x570.image.jpg]
