I learned very quickly from this board that after-market items are highly discouraged for car seats. I recognize the legal implications for crash-testing etc, but still fantasize about using my Bundle Me (that we used prior to learning that it wasn't ok) again! My questions are these:
1) Is there ANY way to sew some velcro onto the bottom of the cover of my infant seat & do the same to a modified Bundle Me to create a custom Boot? I would remove the parts that interfere with the straps & buckle - how would this be different in function from a blanket in terms of crash-test issues?
2) I hate the KF canopy - can I remove it & put my Graco canopy on, assuming it fits?
3) Generally speaking, I understand the rational of car seat companies to prohibit the use of after-market items. Why don't they make their own then? I'd love to be able to purchase "approved" infant inserts, seat levelers (pool noodles, seat covers etc), boots & covers. In fact, why don't they just make naked seats & a whole slew of separate accessories? You could customize whatever seat you like, knowing it was safe & companies could charge a la cart - making them ever more $$$! Any thoughts from the Techs?
