Carseat Canopy

[goodnightdarthvader1]

Sneakily got given my Bounty Newborn pack early by the hospital, and it contains a voucher for a free carseat canopy - basically a blanket that covers the carseat:

I get the idea - to shelter from sun - but it just seems a bit weird covering my baby up completely. Would you buy one?

I don't work for them, by the way. I realise this looks slightly like a market research post! I'm legit, honest and post regularly about tmi pregnancy stuff

Just for nap time I guess

I thought such items were not recommended due to SIDS risk, lack of air flow and all that. Another reason not to support bounty.

I've got the Angelina one. It's lovely. I used it for the warmth when she was a newborn in October. They're quite thick. Good for when they're napping. She's 4 months now and I use it if I nip into town and it looks like it might rain a bit, I don't have a car seat raincover so it keeps her dry while I'm going in and out of shops.

Another reason not to support bounty.

What other reasons?

Thanks all, food for thought!

There has been a MN campaign to get bounty reps off the postnatal wards, I'll see if I cam find link

What tits said - www.madeformums.com/news-and-gossip/why-covering-your-babys-pram-with-a-blanket-could-put-their-life-at-risk/38186.html Especially as these look to go all the way over with no gaps anywhere for airflow (or to see baby is ok) - stupid idea!

Wow, thanks, I had no idea. I'll be prepared to tell them to do one if I see them.
