Buckle Me Baby Coats: Experts rally each year warning parents to take coats off in the car seat citing the dangers they pose in a crash, but experts aren’t around for epic parking lot meltdowns! Here is a coat that is actually designed for their car seat! Fashion meets function with Buckle Me Baby Coats which are not only fun, fashion-forward and on-point this season, but they are also safer, super easy to use and winter warm! The front panel simply pulls to the side and the shoulder seams are set back. That way the car seat straps are under the coat and on the child’s chest where they belong. There’s no excess fabric in the way and the line has even been crash tested and approved. That means no more having to put on and take off coats when getting in the car! Head to the website and check out several adorable styles the company offers at bucklemecoats.com.
