From Heather Corley, your Guide to Baby Products
My town is blanketed with deep snow today, so the front hall of my house is full of discarded coats, gloves, hats and boots. It's easier to just not go anywhere when it's this cold out, because once we all get bundled up in sufficient layers, I'm not sure we'd still fit into the family vehicle!

Winter Coats and Car Seats
This week, I went out to the car to take the kids on a play date and realized that someone had helpfully buckled in one of the boys while he was still wearing his thick winter coat. He was already complaining about how uncomfortable it was to be squeezed in the seat with the extra clothing, and I was shocked to see just how much the harness had to be loosened to fit the coat beneath. Learn why it's not really safe to ride that way!

Infant Car Seat Covers for Winter
It's actually easy to keep your littlest cargo warm with a shower-cap-style infant car seat cover. These covers fit over the top of the car seat after baby is all snuggled in, but don't interfere with the car seat function or add any bulk under the harness. Perfect!

Before You Buy a Winter Coat or Snowsuit for Baby
A thick coat might be great when it's time to play in the snow, but you may also want to choose a thin but warm fleece jacket for travel. Here's how to choose winter coats or snowsuits that work for you and baby.

Custom Car Seat Covers
The actual car seat cover that comes with your baby's car seat is the best one to use with it, since it was made just for that seat and is subject to federal safety standards. Around this time of year, and when it's very hot in the summer, many parents look for a different type of car seat cover material because the original one seems too chilly to the touch or makes their baby sweat. Before you purchase an aftermarket or custom car seat cover, check out this short article and take a peek at your car seat instructions.
