Are heated seats safe?

LillyWife78 · December 2008

I read that heating pads aren't always safe during pregnancy...is the same true for heated seats in the car? I hope not!!!

I use mine every morning and baby is fine

Heated seats are fine. If you start to get overheated, turn it off.

Heating pads are o.k. on low for 10 minute increments. I would think the same goes for heated car seats.

I wouldn't worry...

If they're not then I'm screwed! I need a warm butt on those cold cold days!

As long as they don't burn the skin off your behind, or get your temp running to 100+ I believe they'll be ok...

The only worry with "heated" items...blankets, etc is that they can raise your temperature too high so you should avoid sleeping with your heated blankets on, etc. If you're monitering it, you're fine. I would think you'd turn them off when you got too hot!

I dont think heated seats get quite as hot as some heating pads do. The main reason to not use heating pads is so you dont raise your core body temperature, and I dont think car heated seats have that much power.

I use my every day!

as long as your temp isn't spiking, i think it's cool. i'm not giving mine up!

I always use mine. I figure being shivering cold is worse than heating your bum.

IF your ass is burning then I'd say turn it off. Otherwise you should be fine.

LOL!

I use mine because I want a tan baby! ?If you don't mind your child being extra crispy, use them!

I take a hot bath daily with both babies and use a heating pad. My kids are fine and my OB said they would be. Just use your heat, if you break a sweat at any point your body is trying to cool you down.

Yea, they just might give your baby a slight tan.....that's all....

jay.otter · December 2008

Whether you are dealing with seats, baths, blankets or pads just listen to what your body is telling you. If you feel overheated, then it's too much. Otherwise, you and the baby are fine. Your body won't let you down.

IU_baby · December 2008

Are you serious? What do you honestly think will happen if you use a heated seat?

AngelLuver_02 · December 2008

it just might cook your baby a little, that is all.

leslienpete · December 2008

oh please. you are talking about a heated seat that your butt sits it! Perhaps you should be concerned about taking warm showers or drinking hot tea as well. Huh?

lol, awesome!

LukyNLuv · December 2008

Yeah! Poached baby!

rouge411 · December 2008

Only if you're not pregnant in your butt. And if you are, you're a medical marvel!

mobiz · December 2008

i will say this---i agree, they won't raise your body temp high enough. however i did read one article about how the electromagnetic waves that create the heat might not be great for baby. that is potentially from the more 'naturalist' point of view.

that being said, i personally still use my seat heater but i let it heat up then after it's been on for a bit and the rest of the car is warm i turn it off.

Just make sure you're not drinking hot chocolate at the same time...
