Summer Cushystraps Super Soft Strap Covers, Pink Bunnies

 (46 customer reviews)

I bought a set of the pink bunnies when my daughter was two months old; she's now six months old and I am back to buy another set for our extra car seat. They install in 10 seconds or less and have withstood at least a dozen washes. They prevent the straps from cutting into my baby's neck and also provide head and neck support when she falls asleep.

An earlier review complained that they prevented the chest clip in a 5-point harness from being high enough, however we have used them in both our Graco carrier and our Evenflo triumph without any problems at all. Its recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Highway Safety Administration that the chest clip be child's armpit level. If the chest clip is too high, it can interfere with your child's breathing. If the chest clip is too low, your child can move an arm out of the shoulder strap and risk injury in a crash. The strap covers have always complied with this recommendation.

These are excellent, basically the baby equivalent of those lamb skin over-the-shoulder covers for adult seat belts. These are perfectly safe if you use them for what they are intended, to keep the seat belts from rubbing the necks and/or ears of your little ones. If you're not buckling your kids up tightly (and these will not get in the way of doing this), that's your own fault.

About the only thing "bad" about these is they may get wet from your little one sucking on them! If you're concerned about the seat belt rubbing on your kids, then these work well. But they are arguably a superfluous purchase (again, like the adult lamb skin equivalents).

Great product, works great. Now when my daughter falls asleep in her car seat she has somewhere to rest her head and the straps aren't digging into her neck. At first she was distracted by the bunnies and would try to eat them, so I turned them upside down so the bunnies are at her shoulders instead of her chest.
