How to dress baby in a car seat?

When getting your baby ready for a car trip, it's important to prioritize both safety and comfort in the car seat. An important factor for ensuring your baby's safety is that the harness are placed tightly against their body.

Many winter jackets and suits have an insulation that makes them warm and thick. This extra thickness can make it difficult to tighten the harness enough over your baby's body. That's why it's recommended to have on as little/thin clothing as possible in the car seat.

A good option is to use a car seat bag. This bag is fastened around both the baby and the harness, giving you the opportunity to position the harness tight against your baby's body, while also retaining the warmth. This is a great alternative for maintaining both safety and comfort in a cold car.

We have car seat bags suited for both spring and winter. Easygrow car seat bags come with a special non-lock zipper. This zipper operates differently from regular zippers as it doesn't lock itself. As a result, it will easily glide up should you need to quickly remove the baby from the car seat. This safety feature is incorporated into all our car seat bags.

Another helpful aspect of a car seat bag is that you can easily adjust your baby's temperature. You can open and close the bag during the drive, without needing to take the baby out of the seat or open the the harness, as one would need to do with jackets and suits.

Remember, using thick clothes beneath the harness can reduce the effectiveness of the harness and compromise your baby's safety. By following these simple guidelines and choosing to use a car seat bag, you can dress your baby in a way that not only provides comfort but also offers you that extra reassurance of safety.
