It is getting cold out there. You wouldn’t be outside without a hat or gloves, or especially your coat, right? Bringing your baby out in the harsh winter weather wouldn’t be nice. But you can’t put your little one in a big coat and fit them into the car seat.

Plus, what if you aren’t even going to take your baby out of the seat? Why can’t you leave your little one in there and throw a blanket over him or her? Well, you are on the right track.

Best Multipurpose Cover by YOOFOSS

This one is going to be good for the slightly chilly days. While this won’t be the best for whiteout blizzard walks to the car, this one will be great blocking wind from your baby’s face.

The best bit about this one is that is can be used for more than one thing, which gives you more room in your baby bag. Take it off and use it as a stroller cover or as a nursing cover. We love things that can be used more than once and for more than one purpose. The price isn’t too shabby, either.
