Would you have this on in the carseat?

This seems kind of borderline to me. I will not put it on S for the carseat. H does in the morning on the way to daycare drop off. How stern do you think I need to be with this?

My kids wore similar jackets last year and I put them on in carseat. 

[tigress]

I would put them in the carseat with that. Its not puffy. I don't think that's too bad.

[soozy87]

I would be okay with that.

[minniemouse]

That doesn't look too puffy, I think it is okay. The test would be if you have to loosen the straps to get him buckled.

[AmyRI]

I would use it.

I only avoid truly puffy, compressible jackets. Something like sherpa that is a thick fabric but not very compressible would be ok by me.

[Susie]

I would be ok with that. It looks similar to the Under Armor fleece that Hobbes wears in her car seat on the way to daycare.

[countthestars]

I'd be totally fine with that!

[Ashley&Scott]

I would be fine with that.

[kath16]

Okay, thanks everyone - This does actually make me feel better. It was 25 degrees this morning when we all left!

It doesn't look thick, but if you're unsure, then test it first. I would.

[chicago]

That seems fine to me.

[undecidedowl]

Yes, I would use that. Typically, if it's something that's just a single layer of fabric, even if thick like fleece, I'm okay with it. It's when there are more layers I tend to hold off. So, we don't use the 3 in 1 jackets in the car seat. I also might not use that sherpa if they already had a few layers under it, like a thick sweatshirt or vest.

I thought kids in car seats weren't supposed to wear coats at all. (FTM here)

They're allowed as long as the coat isn't too thick. How to test it: put the coat on baby. Strap into the car seat as usual, making the straps snug enough to pass the pinch test. Take baby out of car seat WITHOUT loosening the straps. Take coat off baby. Strap baby in again without the coat. If the straps are still snug and pass the pinch test, the coat is good to go. If there is any slack, the coat has too much fabric.

Thanks for the info. After reading your comment I looked at consumer reports and the car seat lady. Those websites said exactly what you did.
