Car sea cover suggestions??

cutemary007 · January 2013

Anyone have a infant car seat cover they really like? We live in Michigan where it gets pretty cold this time of year.

We've only been using a blanket but those easily blow off with the wind.

Suggestions????

I live in Michigan, too. We have a shower cap style cover from Target, Eddie Bauer brand. It has a flap the folds down over her face when you're outside and then you can pull it up in the car. Just make sure that you don't do something like the JJ cole bundle me that can interfere with the straps of the car seat.

Thanks for that!! There is a Jj cole on baby steals I was considering until you said that ;

JJ Cole makes a showercap style one as well that we really like, so just check want kind it is before you buy. It works really well for us and we have similar winers to yours in MN.

Not all JJ Coles are bad. They do make the shower cap style one, too. You just want to watch out for the ones that go between the straps and the seat (like the bundle me), which can interfere with the car seat and make it less safe for baby. This one would be safe:

I don't understand how the bundle me isn't safe? we have one and she seems fine to me and my sister used one for both her kids 6 years ago....
I never heard they weren't safe until recently

We bought a cozy cover from Walmart for old weather. I live in central ny and regularly walk with baby in temps below 32 degrees.

The bundle me interfers with the straps. You can't get a nice tight fit and the kid can move around in an accident. It's the same reason you don't put them in with puffy coats.

We have this cover and I have no complaints,

I live in Michigan, have a JJ Cole Bundle Me and it's amazing. Doesn't interfere with the straps. My LO couldn't budge if he wanted to

I have the Jolly Jumper SneakAPeek Deluxe. 20 at BRU and so far, so good. I like it better than a blanket.

Same here. There is no interference with the straps. I love mine.

We live in MN and use an Eddie Bauer shower cap style cover. It's insulated and has a small face hole with a flap that velcros open and shut.

We messed around with a blanket for a while and then bought a different cover but the one we have now we have yet to have any problems with.

I can't find the particular one we have at Target, but I am almost positive that is where we picked it up!

Let me be more specific. The bundleme itself can compress leaving the straps loose. They can also change the routing of the straps. I don't know about your specific seat, but most will say not to use anything like a bundleme for safety reasons.

We got a First Years one on Amazon and it's perfect. Inexpensive too.

1. Most car seat warranties are voided if there is something between the child and the car seat that didn't come with the seat. Aftermarket products have not been tested with the seat and therefore could compromise the functionality of the seat and your child's overall safety.

2. Sometimes the slots on the Bundle Me do not line up correctly with the slots on the car seat, depending on your brand. This changes the way the straps fit. Though the straps might be tight, if they aren't on the child properly they can injure them if you were to be in an accident. Nothing is supposed to be between your child and the car seat.

Compression=ejection. I guess people don't watch the news. And I will bet $5 if Supercutebenz saw this thread she'd have a coronary. Oh, btw, she's a tech, you can talk to her on the Gear board. OP, aside from the Bundle Me and bundle me Arctic, the other suggestions are great, and plenty warm enough.

The force of an accident can cause the bundle me to compress and your child can be tossed around in his car seat even if he is not fully ejected. Save your bundle me for the stroller.

I just posted this the other day:

There is a free carseat canopy available at https://www.carseatcanopy.com/ use promo code mysavings for 50.00 off and all you have to pay is shipping and handling, which is 12.90.

**Just don't buy the full set (called the whole caboodle) because anything that goes between the baby and the carseat is not safe and aftermarket products like that are not recommended to use in any carseat.**
