I know about winter coats being bad with car seats so I have been taking them off and tossing them over the kiddos (of course it has only been cold a few days). But I was talking to someone about why we take them off and they said that according to AAP it is ok to leave them on. Has anyone heard of this? I looked it up and here is what it says on the healthychildren website done by AAP,
Q: Can I adjust the straps when my baby is wearing thicker clothing, like in the winter?
A: Yes, but make sure the harnesses are still snug. Also remember to tighten the straps again after the thicker clothes are no longer needed. Ideally, dress your baby in thinner layers instead of a bulky coat or snowsuit, and tuck a blanket around your baby over the buckled harness straps if needed.
We will still going to take off thick clothes in the car, but just wondering what to say in response to this suggestion? Sorry if this has been discussed before, I am terrible at searching things.
Thanks!
