Hi Everybody,
My name is Donna and I have a 3yo son. He currently rides in an Evenflo Triumph, which I love (I had a Graco ComfortSport which I hated bc I could never tighten the harness strap). I'm also a safety worry-wart who is always thinking of ways to decrease the risk of harm to my family.
Darren has given me permission to post about my invention, the Car Seat Poncho.
As a concerned mother, I this product to keep my son safe in his car seat, without a bulky winter coat. I was tired of hassling to get my then 9-month old son into his coat and then try to secure him into his car seat. I knew that that was discouraged by safety experts (including yourself!), but I could not find any feasible alternatives, so I created something myself.
It's called the Car Seat Poncho, at http://www.carseatponcho.com
It is a hooded, double-zipper poncho that drapes over the top of the car seat, and over the harness. The double zipper allows the parent access to the buckles and straps without having to remove the coat, and to tighten them as snugly as recommended. As the car warms up, the zipper can be opened so that the child does not overheat. And since it is a product for the CHILD, and not for the CARSEAT, it goes in and out of the car WITH the child (it does not stay with the car seat), there is no need for the parent to bring a coat, too.
It makes the parent's life easier, is more comfortable for the child, and most importantly, keeps the child safe.
Available in 11 colors, for boys and girls. One size fits 6 -36 months.
Feel free to ask me any questions or offer any comments/suggestions.
Thanks for reading!
