Annual bundle me PSA.

LOL. I know you ladies have listened to me explain why the bundle me is bad. 

 

I just wanted to share this article, complete with pictures that talks only about how it affects the actual car seat as far as bulk and harness interference.

of course there is the additional warranty issue. But it is perfectly safe for stroller use. There is a reason that all JJ Cole advertising shows the bundle me in use in strollers and car seats that are NOT in a car.

    Thanks for the reminder...it drives me nuts when I am in a store and I see a parent carting around their baby in one of those...it almost makes me want to throat punch them.  It also bothers me to no end when they put them in the worlds largest snowsuit and buckle them in like that really is going to keep them restrained in an accident.

    Now if only I could find something for DS who's in a convertible so that I didn't feel like the worlds worst mom when he gets out of the car at daycare in a thin fleece coat...(in my defense I have heated underground parking so he's outside all of 10 seconds from car to daycare door).

    we use a travel trench from www.cjsewingroom.com

     

    but I'm planning on attempting a modified version. If it works out, I'll let you know. You buy the fleece, I'll sew it :)

    Is this just like a double layered Sunggi?  They are making these in kid sizes now which might work as well.

    A snuggie would probably work too. K's isn't totally open in the back, so she can wear it when not in the seat, but a snuggie would probably work for in the car

    See I have no clue what the problem with those things are, bc I have never owned one. I also dont plan on owning one. I have a thing which appears sorta similar but it is specifically for carseats, Its kind of like only having the front part of the bundle me so it acts like a blanket. It doesnt interfer with the back or any of the buckling stuff on the carseat. Only thing it interfers with is the cold.

    the shower cap style ones are totally safe :) because they don't interfere with the straps. As long as it does not come between baby and seat or baby and harness, it should be good to go :)

    THANK YOU for this info, I had NO idea about this problem! I just removed the Bundle Me from my registry.

    I found this alternative - looks like it just pulls over top of car seat to protect from elements but doesn't go under the baby. I think I'll get this instead.

    yep, that one is safe. I was very happy to hear JJ Cole was coming out with a safe version :)
