Finally, a baby and toddler winter coat specifically designed to be worn by your child in their car seat. The secret is a front panel, with a side zipper and hook & loop closures at the shoulders, that can be easily moved aside to enable the car seat harness to be secured without the unwanted bulk of the coat getting in the way. This award-winning product solves a dilemma that has challenged parents since the advent of the car seat: Now your child can wear their winter jacket in the car seat while still being able to secure the all-important car seat harness as if the jacket isn't there. After securing the harness, easily close the jacket front panel over the harness. As your car warms up, it is simple to roll the front panel to the side to avoid your child overheating. Upon reaching your destination, reverse the process, remove Baby's arms from the harness straps, and reclose the front of the jacket. Your baby is now ready to brave the elements without you having to struggle with putting a jacket on within the close confines of your car. Coats run large with extra length in the sleeves so parents can use the coats across seasons without "sizing up" and adding bulk to the back.
