Yeah, that's what I was thinking & that's more or less what we did when she was younger ... however, now she's getting into picking out her own clothes & starting to dressing herself -- we go on so many errands [I work full time & she is with me so we automatically get to take advantage of any excuse to get out of the building: post office, banking, lunch run, etc.], I just know there will be days she will decide on some non-winter-friendly outfits & we have so many ice cold days here in a row. I wonder why it is so important to take her coat off, but I can keep mine on? Now that I have heated seats I take mine off anyway, but she's rear-facing & doesn't get all the heat from up front. Hmmm, I seem to remember someone had a baby-sized down blanket when my daughter was tiny ... maybe that would be good, assuming I can find one & afford it, too. Knowing our time constraints & my daughter's temperament for the car to begin with, I forsee there being days when the only I'll be able to get her to sit in the seat at all is if she can wear her coat -- she's a coat fanatic! *SIGH* I mean, what exactly is the risk & should I let myself worry so much if there are days that she just ends up wearing her coat in the seat???
THANKS
