Car Seat - Useful Accessories
- Aprons and cosytoes - these are often available as extras with
some makes of car seat, particularly if they are part of a travel system.
Alternatively they can be bought as individual items.
- Cat and insect nets - a fine netting material that fits over
an infant carrier to protect the baby out of doors.
- Head cushion and neck support - these come with most car seats,
but are definitely worth buying if they do not. They not only add comfort,
but also support for your baby's head. You can also buy head cushions
and neck supports for older babies and children who tend to fall asleep
in the car.
- Harness strap cover - this provides extra padding around the
harness strap, and can be bought individually if it does not come as
standard in your car seat.
- Sun screen - available in numerous designs, this fits to the
car window to stop the sun shining on your baby.
- Sun and rain covers - some infant carriers have them as extras,
particularly if they can be used as part of a travel system. They are
also available as individual items from manufacturers who specialise
in nursery accessories.
- Baby view mirror - a small mirror to position alongside the
car rear view mirror, to enable you to look at your baby or child without
having to turn round.
- Heat cover - this goes over the car seat when it is not in
use, preventing the metal frames and buckles from getting hot when the
car is parked in the sun.
- Seat covers - a great incentive for older toddlers who do not
like their seats. These are available in lots of bright and colourful
designs.
- Seat protector - a plastic cover that goes over the back seat
to protect it from scuff marks, spills and dirty feet.
- Play tray - some types of car seat can be fitted with a removable
play tray. Check that it would be quick and simple to remove in the
event of an accident.
- Car tray - a small folding tray that attaches to the back of
the adult seat, opening out when the car is stationary.
- Toy tidy - a specially designed bag with lots of compartments
to hold toys and baby paraphernalia; usually attaches to the back of
the adult seat.
- Toys - there is a good selection of toys designed to be played
with in the car that attach in various ways depending on the type of
car seat and age of baby or child.
