We go in and out of the car a lot. Twice a day I walk around the block to my car with baby in ergo, drive 10 mins, get out to bring my son to his classroom, drive 10 mins home, walk around the block again. I would ideally like a thin fleece suit to dress my baby in, but she's 4 months now and outgrowing 9 month sleepers...she's long and thin. I have an LLBean 200 polartec suit, but I've tried it in the car seat and there is just way too much slack in the harness no matter how much I try to cinch it down. I also have a Hanna fleece baby jacket, but I also feel there is way too much slack even trying the zipper over the harness trick.
We have LONG, very cold and very very very windy winter and we are in and out of the car a lot.
I plan to get a shower cap, but I really hate my baby to be in the car seat so much, especially since at drop off/pick up I have to walk up and down a narrow concrete staircase and it is heavy to carry up and down.
I know the usual suggestions. I'm not looking to justify use of something unsafe. I am really just looking for real life solutions for this type of daily winter activity...
