I certainly do not feel that I deserve a
"Mother Of The Year" award
for the photo that I am about to share with you.....
but I am also pretty sure that I am not the first mother to discover
that her child was actually sweating in their carseat
while she felt perfectly comfortable in the very same car.
Yes, that is sweat that can be seen pooling all around my poor baby's head!
{This photo was taken at the beginning of the summer on our way to the beach in Florida}
Since the temperature inside the car seemed pretty comfortable to me, I guess I just assumed that my little guy was comfortable too.
I didn't consider the fact that the air-conditioner vents were not aimed at him (since he was rear-facing), that his carseat restricted the airflow around him or that his little rashguard (swim suit top) was not made of breathable fabric.
I was also not really aware of the fact (and maybe you weren't either) that children's thermoregulatory systems are not as efficient as an adult's and their body temperatures warm at a rate 3 to 5 times faster than an adult’s.
Poor little guy was not old enough to say, "Mommy, I'm Hot!"
I felt just awful when I realized how much he was sweating & immediately took of his little swim shirt. But even without his shirt on (though a little cooler) he still continued to sweat.
It was then that it dawned on me...
The summer had only just begun, the temperatures were still rising....things were only going to get worse! I was going to have to find something to keep my little guy cool in his carseat if we were going to survive the Hot Hot Summer ahead.
That is when I discovered
"Cool Mee" Seat Liners!
Infant Carriers, Carseats & Strollers
We received a Carseat Liner (sent free of charge for this review) in the "Quick Silver" color to fit Bresden's carseat.
I was anxious to install the liner & see if it made a difference.
I took a temperature reading inside the car just for fun when I went out to install it.
I should mention that it was actually on the cool-side in the morning & it was already reading 113 inside the car. Yikes!
I am pleased to tell you that it was super quick & easy to install & it really seems to work. The 3 Layer design of the liner allows warm air to escape, preventing overheating and perspiring keeping little ones cool and comfortable.
No more peeling sticky wet clothes away from my little guy's back & no more wet stains in his carseat from his sweaty little head.
Plus, it protects your carseat from stains. It is machine washable & so much easier to remove for laundering than the entire carseat cover.
