No not really. I love my child and refuse to put anything in her that would potentially hurt her. Please read this article and see 3 and 2 especially.
Sorry no clicky!

Re: I love my bundle me!
Here is what it says. 3 has videos from YouTube so that won't help my point because I don't have the link.
3 Winter coats and car seats don't mix
I can't really put this into words any better than these videos, so take a quick look.
2 No Aftermarket Products!
Most simply put: If it didn't come with your car seat, it isn't safe to use.
Those cute little puppy dog harness covers, the newborn head support, the notorious JJ Cole. All of these and ANYTHING that attaches to your car seat are not only potentially dangerous because they alter the fit of the seat, they also void manufacturer warranty in the event of a crash and the car seat fails.
theres been ALOT of uproar about this issue. and i understand it.
the thing is, they make ones SPECIFIC for carseats. if the little whole in them. are THOSE ones ok to use? i was told by my pediatrician 3 years ago to make sure my daughter was bundled up nice. it was a "snowsuit" but it was one of those full body thick oneies for infants. but it was made out of cotton, not snowsuit material. he came in before we left and said that was perfect.
i mean i know things are CONSTANTLY changing, especially with a 3 year span.... but i was going to use the same one for when i bring my son home, seeing as to how its unisex and the DR told me it was best.
i know im going to get a lot of flack for this post, but everything i read says no "snowsuits" it says nothing about the thicker winter one piece i have. maybe im just not considering it a snowsuit bc its not that crappy water resistant material that you expect and is indeed cotton....
Check out this link, it uses photographs to demonstrate why coats are not safe in cars and has ideas at the bottom about how to keep your LO warm without snowsuits or a bundle me. You just have to scroll all the way down as it is quite picture heavy.

that link was PERFECT! the ones they consider good to use are the ones ive used in the past with my DD and the ones i planned to use this time
i figured a thick cotton or fleece couldnt have been an issue, that would be like saying my child cant wear a sweater or sweatpants in the carseat and to me thats just absurd!
i dont feel so bad now. i was sitting here fretting over not being as informed as i thought i was. i try and stay up to date on the dos and donts. i thought maybe id missed something since my DD was born.
Thank you for this! I shared on FB!
