I was advised recently -by a fireman- about little ones in car seats; this time of year as they wear bulky coats, car seat straps are often not done up tight enough. The consequences of which I'm sure you'll all appreciate
So it's best to take the coat off before strapping them in, then put back on once they're out the other end of your journey.
I've put an extra fleece blanket in the car to put over bean once he's buckled up - for that time-gap between getting in the car and the heating kicking in!
I know it's not exactly ground-breaking news but just thought I'd share - was going to put in kiddiewink bit but couldn't decide between baby & toddler
