That's a major temp change in such a short time! Wow! That never happens here!
Scatterbunny,
My point is that I wouldn't want to seat a child in car seat that was at -30 C without some type of insulation between the child and the seat. The benches in the hockey rink are cold to sit on without a blanket on top of them and they're no where near as cold as a car seat would be at -30. That's going to suck alot of heat out of a child and even with a coat over top that's not going to help the heat loss into the seat.
I'm not saying go Michelin man either...
Just another one of those WWYD questions...

For trips to school which is 6 blocks away I leave his jacket on, but that is my judgement call. I am going at a slow speed and he has a thick but not puffy jacket. For trips around the city I will either do the layered with a fleece jacket or just a jacket. Even with the car warmed up ahead of time it is still cold.
Just a thought - not sure if it would work.
What about cutting a layer of nice thick wool for under the child ? Make it narrow enough at the back that it won't interfere with the straps.
Not knitted wool, but like from a felted blanket like this :
Felted wool is really dense, it's not going to compress much, if at all. And I'm pretty sure it's not going to fray too badly with use either.
