I think I found some awesome jackets for car seat use!

I found two jackets at Kohl's. Both look like winter coats but are actually super thin fleece lined wind breaker type jackets. I'm going to do the car seat test tonight (which I can't imagine them not passing) and then pick which one I like better. I'll be keeping one no mater what any way.

Here's a link to the jackets (you would not believe how amazingly thin these are):

Anyone else pick one up? What do you think?

UPDATE in post #5.:)

They look similar to one I had for Sofi when she was 1. I think it got left at ex-boss' house.

I'll have to look at them again this year.

Just wanted to update that these jackets do indeed pass the car seat test for us.:thumbsup: I even gave an extra tug on the harness when he had on the red one. I am extremely pleased with both of them. The blue one seems to me that it'll be a little warmer and is just a smidge thicker but they are both so thin and car seat friendly it's awesome. I've decided to keep them both.:D

I love the blue one. It would look so cute on Zain, but I just bought that 4 in 1 jacket for him and Nour. But I could get it for Owen, that way I know he will have a car seat safe jacket!! I might wait a few days to see if they e-mail or send anymore 15% off coupons.

Yeah, I got mine when they were on sale for 50% off and I had a 30% off coupon. It made them like $14 each.:D

Both of my kids have the lighter weight jackets like the 1st one you posted. I got them on clearance last year. That brand also makes some nice 3-in-1 type jackets where it's the fleece jacket & outer jacket that you can use together or either separate.

If you did the fleece with outer could you unzip only the outer and harness then zip the outer over the harness? It seems like that would be a way to not let all the cold air in to the torso... which was a complaint Gavin had before I explained to him why it had to be.

Just wanted to let you know they are on sale today and tomorrow for $20 each.

Use code "EXTRA20" to get an additional 20% off. Plus free shipping if you spend over $50.
