Car Seat Covers
Once baby comes along, daily errands seem to increase with continual trips to the store for diapers and baby’s many doctors’ visits. Winter weather can make these trips even more difficult, as mom worries about correctly protecting her child from the elements. A car seat cover not only helps calm mom’s worries of keeping her child warm and dry, but it also calms mom with its ease of use–easy on and off attachment for optimum temperature control.
A car seat cover is a must have winter accessory, both for convenience and protection.
Why invest in a car seat cover?
- Protects child from cold weather conditions
- Allows safety straps to rest directly on child
- No need for loose blankets – no adjustments, hassle, or worry
Alternatives?
Customers may wonder, ‘Why use a car seat cover rather than just a conventional blanket?’ Simply covering a child’s seat with a blanket presents a variety of inconveniences and even some potential hazards. Blankets cannot entirely conform to the shape of the car seat and allow cold drafts to reach your child. Excess fabric hangs below the car seat, getting wet and picking up dirt and germs. A child can easily kick off blankets making it a hassle to readjust and dangerous to fix while in a moving vehicle.
A good car seat cover should:
- Have a universal fit. Car seats come in various shapes and sizes. A good cover should be flexible enough to fit your customer’s wide array of car seats and even strollers.
- Securely attach and conform to the shape of the car seat (i.e. with an elasticized outer band). This prevents drafts from reaching baby.
- Allow the car seat straps to lie directly on the child and shouldn’t interfere with the harness system.
- Be weather-resistant. Water resistant nylons or polyesters are ideal. Other fabrics quickly absorb water and do not retain heat.
- Have thick, preferably multi-layered fabrics. Remember, the cover must be warm enough to replace a blanket or jacket.
- Have a removable top for temperature control.
- Be machine washable. For the convenience of the parent, it’s essential that every day use items can be quickly cleaned and ready for action.
After experiencing the convenience of a car seat cover, parents will wonder how they ever got by without one.
