[quote=Anonymous]"It's about the coat compressing, which makes the belt not tight enough" If you tighten the straps, and let the coat compress against the straps, you're in the same place you were without the coat. You're fine. In any case, I have a hard time believing that the inch or so of coat thickness is really going to make any meaningful difference in car seat strap effectiveness. Certainly not so much of a difference that a kid is going to hit the seat in front of them solely because they're wearing a coat. Good God! Again, this whole thing is a myth. What I was saying in my comparison to seatbelt functionality is that seatbelts will always yield a couple of inches before they lock. So no matter what, (coat or no coat) the car seat straps, already being firmly in place, are going to better restrain the occupant. [/quote]
