snow pants

I tried searching past posts but couldn't find anything...despite knowing this has likely been asked many times.

I have my own 18month old (RF in radian) and a 22month old I care for 3 days a week (RF in titan 65). We will be doing outings throughout the winter which will require us to walk from a building (library etc) through the parking lot and into the cold car. Since I have 2 I cannot just carry them and they are slowwww moving, taking a good 10min from door to car.

I am trying to figure out the logistics of getting both of them to the car, and into the car.

Is it safe to have them wear snow pants (with the bib and shoulder straps) in their car seat? I would remove boots and jackets. I don't know the brand of snowsuits yet.

We are in Canada...it gets cold. -20 to -30 for long, long periods plus windchill. Having them just wear fleece or just a jacket isn't really feasible with the slow walk through snow to get to the car.

I have my kids wear snow bibs and fleece in car seats and put on ski coats at the hill. I've found bibs are quite thin on the bib part and fine with the harness

That's what I was hoping! It would be a bit chaotic trying to get the snow pants off (and back on) the two of them and with them both in the back I'd need to be standing outside, letting all the cold air in, while undressing them as I can't fit in the car with them! The boots and jackets will be easy enough to remove. They can then have a blanket in the car to use (but I doubt they will).

Yeah sometimes they use a blanket and sometimes not. We are in Vancouver and ski in Whistler. So not as cold as what you describe.
