Infant bucket and padding

Okay I have my youngest in a BV cause he is too big for my snugride. But I do use my snugride in stores and other places for a safe place for him to be. My question is Would it be wrong of me to buy some foam to line the seat with so that he will stop screaming at me in it. He hates how hard it is. I can pull him out and he has red marks on the back of his head and on his back. THis is a very unpadded seat and i would like to make it comfortable. I will NEVER use it in a car with the padding as he is too tall for it anyways. I always have it under the seat in my van so I can use it sometimes.

I already have an emergency plan in place if we were in an accident and how we would go about getting seats so not even in an accident would i use this.

Am I wrong for wanting my child comfortable?

If you are only using it as a carrier and not installed as a carseat, I see nothing wrong with adding padding to it.

What could possibly be wrong with putting extra padding in the SnugRide if you are no longer using it as a safety restraint in the vehicle? I can't imagine any reason that it would be a problem, unless you add so much extra clap-trap as to create a suffocation hazard -- and that's really hard to picture. I would go right ahead and make him comfortable.

I also used our SnugRide for several months after DD outgrew it for car travel -- it made an occasional safe and clean restraint for her when I had to bring her somewhere where a stroller wouldn't fit, and where I couldn't just carry her in a sling the whole time. I didn't add padding, but only because she never complained about the SR (also a very unpadded version). I sometimes wondered whether anyone got upset seeing the infant seat sitting in my front passenger seat, sometimes FF, because that's how I happened to plop it in for transport :D.

i have an expired discovery that i use for the same thing, usually out to dinner. i hate wearing her when im eating.. i'm afraid i will drop hot food on her head lol.
if the seats not gonna be used in the car, that padding will never be tested in a crash, so who cares?? i'm thinking of doing the same thing for dd2's discovery, as there is noo padding, just the cover under her tush. nice padding behind her back, but nothing whatsoever for her bum.
