Is there a safe way to swaddle a baby in a car seat?

That doesn't involve a hot swaddleme traveler? We are traveling 5 hours on Thursday (just me and the kids) and DD2 sleeps SO much better swaddled.

A swaddleme with cotton fabric should probably be ok. They have slits in the fabric for a crotch strap, and they're so thin they're not really a concern.

Why not just use a swaddling blanket. First strap the baby in then wrap the swaddling blanket around the baby by tucking the edges under his body.... Thats what I used to do. I can get a pic if you need one..
 
I have always just taken a small blanket and tucked it around baby after strapping them in. it gives them the nice secure feeling without interferring with anything.
