http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11192976 I'm in shock! Would this even be remotely safe to use in a car seat...???

I guess it could be nice if you had a remote starter and could have the seat warm by the time you came outside to put the kids in the car but by looking at the pics it seems a bit bulky to have under a child.

Is it meant to be removed before putting the kid in? Like that cooling thing that's out there? Not that people will...

I don't really see a problem with it. A little extra padding in a seat isn't going to cause any seat to fail catastrophically in some way, it's just a nice, clear rule for techs to communicate to parents that it's not ok to add, easier to say one 'no' than it is to get into a huge discussion and leave the door open for some creative parent to put, say, a king sized comforter in the seat with their kid.

Duh, didn't see the photo of the kid operating it in the seat...

I'm not a fan of adding stuff to a seat, but I'm REALLY not a fan of leaving a child (essentially) unattended with a heating device. Especially one with cords. And what if the kid pees on it?

No, sorry, not ok with this one at all.

Yeah, I did have an 'unless there's an electrical problem' that I took out of my post (thinking of the numerous recalls on past electrical seats from decades ago... Renolux...).

I really hate the idea of putting a cord back there with my four year old.... he is my "wild" child and I would hate to see the thing he could do with a cord

Is there an epidemic of kids freezing to death in their booster seats because it's a bit cold when they sit in them? :scratcheshead: Because, unless it's a leather booster seat, I just don't see a need at all for this extraneous product. Some inventor had way too much time on his/her hands.

Although, I can easily picture the "As seen on TV" late night ad running on the topic. :ROTFLMAO:

BUT WAIT, There's MORE! That's not all! For every seat warmer you purchase, we'll also throw in the always popular, Mighty Tite.

Is that a stethoscope on the seat? Not a bad idea to have it there, I suppose, since I know my heart skips a beat when my heated seats overheat my booty.

Yeah... I can just imagine the heat rash that thing could cause. Wowzers!

Nothing like heated diaper contents to make a car smell showroom fresh.

Not that I would use it for my child, or that it makes it any "safer" but apparently it only stays on for some 7 minutes at a time to prevent overheating.
