Compatibility and Fit

Pros:

  • "It fits like a shower cap over her Graco Snugride Snuglock 35 LX infant bucket seat."
  • "Fits the Doona stroller very well."
  • "Fit my Graco car seat well and kept my babies warm during Michigan Winters."
  • "It fits perfectly on my Chicco infant seat."
  • "Fits my nuna pipa perfectly!!!"
  • "It fits our graco seat perfectly and keeps her cozy warm."
  • "I think it would be a pretty universal fit for any infant car seat."

Cons:

  • "I have the Chicco key fit 30 and it fits taut IF you unzip the back of the canopy, it still fits with the canopy zipped but then it slouches down onto baby’s face."
  • "Used on my doona stroller but its very tight. Baby will actually kick it off with his feet."
  • "I got this for my newborn to keep him cozy, which it did, however it's not too compatible with the Doona Stroller which is what I have."
  • "I didn’t like how it fit our car seat (cybex g swivel)."
  • "I had switched it to my evenflo car seat, but it doesn’t fit the greatest. I feel like it’s constantly falling down on baby’s face."
  • "It doesn't fit in my graco car seat because there are pocket of gaps where the car seat handles are."
  • "It does fit but you can't use the canopy when this is on."

Warmth and Comfort

Pros:

  • "It was just the thing we needed for our fall baby. Soon after he was born it got really cold out and it was amazing to have to keep him warm when we would travel."
  • "Our baby stays warm in there, we also have been using a blanket at her feet."
  • "This is amazing in the winter months. Idk how I lived without this with my first. Keeps my 5 month old bundled and warm and helps him to sleep in the car as well (almost like when they’re swaddled)"
  • "We love it! Keeps my little guy warm and shields him from the weather!"
  • "This kept my lil one very warm."
  • "Keeps my baby warm. I don't even need a blanket. This alone keeps the baby warm and toasty."
  • "Love this! Keeps my son cozy warm."

Cons:

  • "However, this item doesn’t seem safe. The face hole doesn’t line up with where my baby fits in the car seat and I feel like it’s dangerous and constantly check him when this is on."
  • "The first day I put it with a blanket on the baby and he became a little over heated to just be careful with that."
  • "As a first time mom I am still trying to figure out why my baby cries. There was a time in the car where I could not figure out what was going on. Food wasn't it, diaper wasn't it but when we took her out the car seat she was covered in sweat."
  • "It almost keeps him too warm sometimes."
  • "The only issue I’ve had is baby getting too warm. This winter has been up and down in temp, and the heaters in various buildings seem to be set pretty high."
  • "However, as the weather became warmer, I don’t think this was the best car seat cover because it does get suuuuper warm inside due to insulation and my baby would sometimes be sweating when I opened it."
  • "Heads up: this cover is WARM. Be careful of overheating baby when combining it with layered clothing."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "It holds up with machine washing easily and has a water resistant exterior."
  • "This is one of the best purchases that I have made."
  • "Even though I only use this during the winter months, the quality seems really good, everything is still attached, no stitching coming undone, I have no issues machine washing it."
  • "Very sturdy product."
  • "It's beautiful and works we'll on our Stokke Pipa by Nuna car seat.It's great for winter, windy weather and I don't have to struggle with a blanket... ​it's stylish."
  • "The product itself looks well made a nice material."
  • "Feel of Outter/inner material is just like a down coat, strong, and worth its money."

Cons:

  • "It has almost five stars and great reviews but honestly this product is not that great. I ended up returning it."
  • "The zipper came off the third day of using it."
  • "We’ve only been using it for about a month for our newborn with a few trips out with it. It’s already ripped."
  • "The inside fleece material is bad quality. It is not as soft and pretty thin."
  • "And while it keeps the baby warm, $45 seems a bit much when the material isn’t very think and obviously not very durable."
  • "This product looked fantastic... however we have to keep it partially unzipped & folded back, defeating the purpose, to keep it from laying on baby’s face."
  • "Not the best skip hop product you can buy."

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "I also love how this comes with a tie stitched on it in case I want to vent the car seat."
  • "I like that it also has extra buttons that allow you to snap it around the car seat handle and out of the way when you don’t have it zipped shut."
  • "The button and zipper options on it are great!"
  • "It’s super easy to use because you can unzip it to get baby in and out."
  • "I especially like how the side rolls over and snaps for easy access."
  • "The snap options are convenient for making sure the flaps stay where you want them when you are driving and can’t reach or when the wind would blow them open and you have your arms full."
  • "I love that the cover rolls back when no longer needed."

Cons:

  • "I’d rate it higher if it had an easy way to buckle the car seat in rather than taking it fully off the bottom and putting it back on."
  • "I love it but I’m torn if i like that the cover doesn’t completely cover the sides where the handle connects to create some air flow and or a cold breeze or that this would create cold air to come in/under the cover."
  • "I like it the only problem is that if you don't have a car seat base and u take cabs the cover blocks the seat belt inserter."
  • "Keeps baby warm but there's no button or zipper at the top to keep the flap down. And if it's windy it'll come up so you have to manually keep it down with your hand."
  • "I wish there was an additional button to button the flaps together as I feel like the bottom flap is going to fall in her face-but we’ll see."
  • "I wish there were more snaps to have more options for how open/closed up it could be."
  • "The bunting goes over top of the sunshade, so it is not usable when using the bunting."
