Potty Training and Car Seats
Planning to potty train your toddler over the holidays? Let’s talk about safe ways to keep your car seats clean and dry!
While Clek, Britax, and Diono have waterproof car seat liners (for use with their car seats only), other brands don’t have a solution available. Adding anything to your car seat can change how it performs and restrains your child in a crash - that includes putting things like puppy pee pads, towels, and third party waterproof inserts under your child when they are in their car seat.
But if it’s not safe to put anything under them, how can you protect your car seat from accidents? Here are 3 things to try:
For longer car rides (especially ones where they may fall asleep), have your child wear a pull-up instead of underwear! It can give you peace of mind knowing that any accidents will be contained and you won’t have to wash your car seat when you’re away from home.
Put a waterproof cloth diaper cover (or rubber shorts) over their underwear and under their clothes. They are still wearing their “big kid” underwear, but accidents won’t leak onto the car seat cover!
If your child is mostly potty trained but has “emergencies”, bring a portable toilet with you on the road trip. There are many cost-effective and small portable options with disposable bags that can be used right in the trunk of the car. It can help ease everyone’s mind knowing you won’t have to hunt for a toilet!

Baby size snuggle sack!
This is absolutely perfectly practical for a newborn in a car seat. That’s going to be born this winter. It’s very soft and lightweight and will be easy to put on and off.

So soft!
I purchased the pink for my new granddaughter for Christmas. We live in AZ so it doesn’t really get that cold. Being a Nana of 6, I hate taking coats on and off at the car seat. I’m really happy that I found the buckle me coat.

Love it
Warm enough for Chicago winters in and out of the car (we use a different coat if we're out for a long time). Totally worth it to not have to take it on and off when running errands or going to school! This is our 3rd winter with the same model.

Best pjs EVER!
I have tried bamboo pajamas from SO many different brands, but none are as good as the BMBC pjs. They're actually buttery soft, hold up extremely well in the wash, and my baby can wear them for so long due to the extendable arms/legs and stretchy material. My 14 month old is 95th percentile for height and weight and the 6/9 month BMBC pjs still fit him!!! Cannot recommend this company enough. And Dahlia, the owner, is so sweet and responsive.

Safest winter jacket for a car seat on the market. From one mom to another. BUY IT.
I cannot emphasize how wonderful this jacket is. How much peace of mind this jacket gives me. And how well thought out this design in of being on the go with your tot.I live in the upper portions of new england and our winters get COLD. As the weather gets colder we always worried about making sure the car seat was tight enough or had to wrestle our toddler in the car to get the puffy jacket off and back on before and after a car ride. But NO MOREThis jack is super warm. Reflective. and easy to work around the car seats straps so your little one is snug as bug AND warm. No muss no fuss. The jacket can be zippered or just velcro (the velcro is SUPER strong). Worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY.I recommend this jacket to every parent I know. And grand parents.I could go on.
