Good for mild weather,

This review is from: The First Years Car Seat Cover, Tan (Baby Product)
I ordered a few of these shower cap style covers to compare (JJ Cole, First Years, SOOTHEtime, Jumper Jolly). This First Years is nearly identical to the JJ Cole cover but at a much better price. The outside layer of the cover seem like it might snag if caught on something however, while the JJ Cole cover was quilted and felt better (like, higher quality).
It's thin but would be good for mild weather. It doesn't cover the entire face either. Living in Michigan, this isn't thick enough to brave our winters and I thought the flap could stay up but there is no velcro or anything to keep it in place. I give this 4 stars however since it would be perfect for someone who needs it for fall/spring or very mild winters.
I chose to keep the Jumper Jolly. It can cover the entire baby while outside but the top flap has velcro to keep the "sneak a peek" window open. It is also much thicker and more suitable for winter.
Definitely not suitable for cold weather climates,

This review is from: The First Years Car Seat Cover, Tan (Baby Product)
I purchased this item in a blind fashion, relative to my other Amazon purchases, because there were no reviews. I thought after looking at the pictures and product description, that the car seat cover would suffice. We have a Graco Snugride 35 car seat. This item fits the car seat just fine, but we live in Fargo, ND. The material is fairly thin and there's not a lot of bulk/warmth to it. There's no way it would protect our baby from a howling 40mph wind or subzero temperature, both of which are common here.
Aside from the thickness/warmth (lack thereof) of the cover itself, its biggest downfall is that the flap does not velcro up or down to keep it in place. It's just loose. So if you're taking your baby out in any kind of wind, no matter where you place the flap, it'll blow elsewhere. You'd need to sew on velco or bring a giant safety pin with you!
We ended up getting the Jolly Jumper Arctic cover and are much more satisfied with it. Very thick and...Read more
Soft but did not fit properly,

This review is from: The First Years Car Seat Cover, Tan (Baby Product)
I have one of the Graco car seats. The cover is very soft and does its job in keeping the baby warm, but does not fit snuggly like the picture shows. The top of the cover is constantly slipping down and gets on my babies head, which she does not like. I left the sun/wind shade attached to try and keep it off her head. It is aggravating, but it does keep my baby warm. Maybe this would be better if you have a little one. My baby is eight months old and is just about to big for this type of car seat.
