I'm also European and I thought I was the only one noticing this trend. And also in the summer they wear jeans and long sleeve shirts when it's almost 90s outside and humid. I dress my kids appropriately and they've never had an ear infection, sinus infection, or pneumonia. It's very easy for kids to lose heat when the head is unprotected.

I am Asian and I have also noticed this trend They do not even cover the heads of the infants, who have bald heads to begin with and no way to warm themselves. The parents are completely bundled up. I understand that the car seat does not accommodate bulky coats and coverups, but why not use a thick blanket to cover the babies when they take them out of the car? Or tuck them inside their own coats so that they can get warmed by the body heat?

I assume this shit will help your kid get into TJ.

Please tell us where your medical degree came from because they sure are teaching some strange things. None of these things is caused by exposure to cold. Period.

When's the last time you tried to keep a hat on a baby that HATES hats? Seriously, my 18-month-old is more likely to spontaneously start speaking in Latin than she is to keep her damn hat on for more than five seconds.

Keep on judging, though. That's the holiday spirit!

That's my child! No hat lasted more than 5 seconds before being tossed into the slushy dirty snow... Definitely not going on him now!

Have you tried disciplining your child so that he will know that he needs to wear his hat?

My 10 month old has figured out how to undo the Velcro and untie the bows holding the hat onto her head. We have a (ridiculously expensive) button one now, but she's working on figuring out how to get it off every time it's on her head. Are you suggesting I discipline a 10 month old? How exactly would one do that?

How about covering the head with a blanket and holding it there as you take her indoors? Perhaps that will work? You can't figure out how to get a 10 month old's head covered for two minutes it takes to get her out from the car and indoors? Sorry, that is a big parenting fail and you will have bigger issues than this in the future.

Wearing Jackets in car seat is not safe.

Yet majority of parents have their kids well covered, and the handful who don't get noticed. Again, parenting fail!
