yep you should get the shower cap style and pair it with a blanket. because the shower cap style is not as thick. The bundle me isntt safe for the car seat because it comes in between the baby and the seat and the harness has to be threaded through the bundle me cover which is expressly against the car seat safety instructions.

go for one that doesn't go between LO & the carseat. the other kind shouldn't be used when you're driving in the car and it would be a PITA to take it off and switch to a different one when you drive. it was 33 out this am, so i think the cozy carseat season is upon us! and if it warms up, these kind are easy to pop off.

We got the JJ Cole shower cap style one - http://jjcolecollections.com/car-seat-cover. The regular bundle me says it's been tested, but pretty much every car seat manufacturer says do not use after market products in between the baby and the seat.

We park my car in our garage too, which is fine temperature-wise when we leave the house - but when you come back home you're probably going to start out with a cold car. I plan to leave our cover on all the time, and just zip it down when we're inside. Or, if I really want to take it off and stow it in the stroller, it does go on and off and in about 2 seconds, so not big deal.

@ms.janedoe: same!

@jessibear: was your LO a really calm baby? I've been using blankets just for the last week (it just got cold here) while I research what gear to buy and she constantly waves her arms around, flipping the loose ends of the blanket up in her face. Which worries me that she will suffocate---I just couldn't put her in the car seat with blanket over her while I'm driving alone in the front. Even with the stroller when I'm pushing it, the few times it's been cold and windy here this past week, I put a second blanket over the top of the stroller to keep the wind out, but when I peek down at her, she's pulled the other blanket over her face or up to her eyes acidentally (just working on grasping things now at 3 months).

So now I'm suddenly like....dang, I need something better than blankets! I have a philosophy of not buying anything in advance till I'm sure I need it--but then sometimes I get caught without something that suddenly I really need, like this. lol. ah well.

i bought this one but when I took DD out for a walk I would put an extra blanket on her http://www.target.com/p/jj-cole-car-seat-cover-graphite/-/A-14694782#prodSlot=medium_1_6&term=jj+cole

We would just put LO in a fleece jacket over a long-sleeve shirt and then layer a blanket over him (tucked in under his arms) if putting the car seat in the car. He was pretty good with keeping hats on.

We used the shower cap one for DS last winter and I really liked it. I usually would tuck a blanket over him and then zip the cover on top. We walked him to and from daycare everything. We would also used the rain cover to keep out the wind.

@Anagram: ah, great point. C is a super easy going baby, so we never had to deal with migrating blankets. I never even thought of that but I can understand your worry!
