THE ROAD COAT® is the invention of husband and wife team, Sabine and Eric. With their combined professional experience of working with some of the world’s largest sportswear brands and as parents, they created the One Kid brand in 1999 and the revolutionary ROAD COAT. Since its initial launch in July 2016, Sabine and Eric have worked tirelessly to raise awareness of safe childrens' travel and have created 6 variations of the original ROAD COAT.

Absolutely. THE ROAD COAT has been fully crash tested by an independent crash test lab and reviewed by a renowned national expert in the field of child passenger safety (CPST). In addition, a certified instructor for both the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has provided their full approval of THE ROAD COAT for use with car seats.
To be clear, THE ROAD COAT is compatible with car seat use, it tested similarly to not wearing a coat in the car seat at all !
THE ROAD COAT features a thin front inner layer that eliminates the puffy outer layer from being between the car seat harness and your child. This enable the harness to lay flat and snug against the chest, as recommended by car safety authorities. A unique split collar construction allows the harness straps to pass to the front & lay flat on the shoulders, providing comfort and safer travel for children in car seat or booster seat.
The back of THE ROAD COAT is constructed to be puffy, yet highly compressible. This leaves no excess fabric to create slack in the harness, keeping your child safer.
THE ROAD COAT is engineered so the 5-point harness can pass to the front, which cannot be achieved safely with a regular coat.
The zip up of the outer layer is optional. You can always leave the outer layer unzipped. Your child is still wearing the coat even with the outer layer is unzipped.
Removing the child with the coat on should not be any faster or slower than with any other article of clothing.
Actually, if your child is in an accident you're supposed to remove the car seat with them in it until first responders get there to check them out for injuries. You don't want to make anything worse.
You don't want to remove a child from their harnessed car seat until paramedics arrive In case of internal decapitation if you need to get the child out due to fire unbuckle the car seat and remove car seat with child in it still out of the car
