Keeping Baby Warm AND Safe In The Vehicle

Living where we do, we have to deal with severe cold temperatures.  When my oldest was born, it was July and I didn't think  much about the winter.  By the time the fall came around, I started to wonder how I could keep him warm in his carseat.  I was aware that snowsuits weren't safe (there is too much space between baby and the harness).

I was gifted an Ottawa Senators carseat cover (similar to a shower cap) and it was perfect.  At first I thought that baby would be cold, but I tried it and was amazed at how warm and toasty he was when I took him out.

I made sure to dress him in warm clothing, but found that having a sweater or blanket made him TOO hot.

When Mr. K came along, I still had the carseat cover and used it once again.  It was a wonderful accessory to have.
