Child seat safety is very serious and there are some things that parents may not know. For example, were you are that you're NOT supposed to buckle your child over a winter coat in their car seat?
Most winter coats add about 4 inches of bulk to the car seat harness straps. This can leave the harness too loose to be effective in a crash, leaving children at risk to be ejected from the car seat.
A simple solution is Birdy Boutique's Car Seat Poncho. This poncho is smartly designed by a group of women from Michigan, to allow you to buckle your child safely into their car seats, because of its smart design. This poncho simply goes on over the buckles and strap belts.
It is very easy to maneuver the car seat process with the Car Seat Poncho. Simply sit your child in their car seat, flip the back of the poncho over the top of the car seat, while holding the front of the poncho, buckle your child into their seat, and then place the poncho over the buckled seat belts.
The poncho is available in a variety of beautiful patterns including, lumberjack, mermaid, dragon, cupcake, scotties, floral, brown and green argyle, and gender neutral.
I received the lumberjack pattern poncho and it is so beautiful. The poncho is so soft and warm. The hood is a nice size and could easily allow you to place a hat on your child. The poncho has ample room and length to keep your child warm and covered.
All of the ponchos are reversible and are made from a warm and cozy fleece material. They are perfect for promoting toddler independence and are easy for children to take on and off. These ponchos are designed to fit ages 6 months to 5 years.
If you have a child who hates to put their jacket on, the Car Seat Poncho is a simple solution. Simply slide the poncho over your child's head and go. A nice thing about the poncho is that it allows movement because of its open sides.
The Car Seat Poncho is great for wearing indoors! Let your child use it to snuggle up on the couch while they watch their favorite shows, during cold weather. The beautiful fleece adds comfort and warmth.
