Why The Road Coat?

The dangers of puffy winter coats

Parental Warning

As parents, car seat safety is always a top priority. While we diligently research the best seat for our child, we often overlook the risks associated with traditional winter coats. These bulky coats can create slack under car seat harnesses, putting children at risk of serious injuries, such as brain, neck, and spine damage, in the event of a crash.

The Road Coat goes on at home, stays on safely in the car seat without any harness adjustments, and transitions easily and quickly to the outdoors.

THE ROAD COAT is available in sizes 6 Month to 10 Years. THE ROAD COAT SNOWSUIT from 0/3 Month to 18/24 Month. Many customers remark that THE ROAD COAT runs true to size.

If your child is old enough to be in a booster seat you can use The Road Coat in bigger size (7, 8 & 10). The child can sit on either side of the car.

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.

If your child is in an accident it is advised to remove the car seat with them in it until first responders get there to check them out for injuries. Removing the child with the coat on should not be any faster or slower than with any other article of clothing. (the outer zipper closure is optional while in car seat)
