The Car Seat Poncho lets the car seat do its job --
because it lets you tighten the harness exactly the way your car seat's manufacturer wants you to -- snug, with no slack!
It doesn't matter if you've paid $50 or $500 for your car seat: If the harness is not tightened correctly, it might not be able to protect your child in a crash. Straps must be taut and go straight down your child’s chest -- without drooping or sagging, and with no bulky coat underneath.
With the Car Seat Poncho, you can secure your child quickly, easily, and most important -- SAFELY.

According to the NHTSA, a properly fastened harness should have no excessive slack. If you can pinch and hold the straps as pictured here, they are TOO loose. They may NOT hold your child in a crash.
The Car Seat Poncho was presented at the Greenburgh NY Police Department's CEU course,
"Winter Car Seat Safety."
