Layers are your friend. For infant a snow suit is very convient. Put mittens on a string run through sleeves. Zipp kid into it quick with thin layers underneath for overheated houses. This is eldest in his. He snapped the string on his mittens and they went in koi pond.

Most carseats manufacturers advise AGAINST wearing overcoats in carseat. The fluff causes slack in belts which isn't great.

For straight car to door, we just wrapped in a blanket. For longer outdoors exposure, you can unbuckle, stick one side arm/leg in, scoop back under baby, shove other arm/leg in, and zip. You get fairly quick at doing so.

That’s what I’ve heard. Perhaps I just avoid the outdoors at all costs.

For a premie or newborn I would put them in 2 layers of regular clothes .. a super warm hat.. strap them into the car seat, then tightly tuck in a warm blanket so only their face is out...

When they are so tiny they will not move much... so no risk of the blanket getting in their face... also.. it isn't for long, and you will be watching the entire time anyway.

Anyway... get blanket covered car carrier to exterior door of building, take one end of the blanket and tent it over the handle of the carrier so the wind doesn't hit them.. carry them outside into cold but directly into already warmed up car.

Lock in babies, get in car, all doors closed.. then reposition the blanket so faces are fully exposed.. maybe remove blanket if car is warm enough or if they are squirmy then the blanket needs to be removed.

When everyone is set, then drive.

What kind of blankie do you suggest?

I want something like a tight woven fleece but I can’t find the right one.

Um it's 2022 they make covers for car seats to keep babies warm. No blankets no snow suits just regular clothes. And just in case no one noticed but cars have heaters now.

I just googled winter car seat cover- THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS

Why did my mother never tell me this!?

And of course cars have heaters, but they aren’t always in a car when they are in a car seat

None of those carseat covers when mine were little....and no car seats!! That's right. But did have heaters in the car. . Must have been ok, my two lived throught it all, one at a time.....one was a Dec babe. You'll figure it out!
