Q: Car Seat Cover?
asked by: OctoberBaby06 on January 5th, 2007
Extremely EHEALTHy
The other day my friend was telling me that she saw in some store a cover type thing that you pretty much put the car seat in & it zips up & it's insolated & all that. .It's suppose to be so you don't have to have a blanket over top of the babys' car seat when you go outside in the cold... .I was just wondering if anyone has ever used one of these or if anyone else has even heard of them...

I've seen them, they look really hot. Finn's already a hot baby, he sweats a lot so I just put a blanket over him when we go out. I could see using one of those covers if you were going to be outside in the cold for a while but not if you're just going from the car to the store or something.

I think tanya posted a pic of her carseat with one (with a teddy bear inside!).

I got something like that but for the stroller. I loved it for those in between days and even winter days last yr. Not too sure about the car seat one as it's in a car and warm already.

I bought one and been using it for my daughter, it fits snugly on the carseat, u still cover them in ablanket depending where u live, I am in germany so its pretty cold here and we dont live in a big city so the wind and stuff is really cold and we get more wind where we are at so it helps alot. If I lived in say fla or nc in winter I prob wouldnt have wasted the money on it but here it gets really really cold. It unzips and theres a part that u can open just to see there face. But eh I like it becuase it is of good use here. So if ur in anorthern state its a good investment suprisingly I got mine in florida it was on clearance for 11 bucks Smile

Thanks for all the replies! .I think .I'm definetly going to get one, bc we live in the mountains so it's pretty windy here & .I hate fighting with blankets over the car seat bc when the wind blows just right they fly up anyways. Do they have an actual name or are they just called car seat covers? Lol..

I think they are just called infant seat covers or something, I had the package for mine for a while but recently threw it out, they have it in the section where all the car window things are like those that stick to the windwo to pull down to keep the sun out, at least in most stores, I think normally they are like20 bucks, but I got mine on clearance Smile its nice and cozy and keeps the wind out
