Why use a car seat footmuff?

When getting your baby ready for a car ride, it’s essential to prioritize both safety and comfort. A key factor in ensuring that your baby is secure is making sure that the car seat harness is snug against their body.

Avoid Thick Clothing in the Car Seat

Winter jackets and snowsuits often have padding that makes them warm and bulky. This extra bulk can make it difficult to tighten the harness properly around the baby’s body, reducing the car seat’s effectiveness in a potential collision. It is therefore recommended to dress the baby in the thinnest possible clothing while in the car seat.

From Trygg Trafikk: The seat belts in the car seat are what keep the child in place. The belts should be snug against the body and tight. Therefore, it is important not to wear too thick clothing.

Use a Car Seat Footmuff

A car seat footmuff is a good alternative to jackets and snowsuits. This footmuff wraps around both the baby and the harness, allowing the straps to be fastened snugly against the body while keeping the baby warm and cozy. This ensures both comfort and safety for your child in a cold car.

What Makes Easygrow Car Seat Footmuffs a Good Choice?

• Our car seat footmuffs have a non-lock zipper. This zipper does not lock and is easy to open if you need to get your child out of the car seat quickly in an emergency.

• With a car seat footmuff, the harness can be tightened properly against the baby’s body since the footmuff closes outside the harness.

• The footmuffs are thin on the back, so the baby sits snugly against the car seat.

• It’s easy to open the footmuff and fold it aside for temperature regulation without needing to remove the child from the seat or loosen the harness.

• They have a separate zipper at the feet so the baby can wear shoes.

• All our car seat footmuffs fit both car seats and strollers.

Remember!

Thick clothing under the harness can reduce the effectiveness of the harness and therefore compromise your baby’s safety. By following these simple tips and choosing Easygrow car seat footmuffs, you can dress your baby in a way that provides comfort and ensures they are properly secured in the car seat.
