Car Seat Accessories

If you’re looking for ways to add some style or comfort to your child’s car seat, there are many options out there. But keep in mind that aftermarket products (those not sold with the car seat) can void the warranty and may interfere with how your baby is secured in the seat or cause injuries during a crash. Some of these include head support pillows, belt strap covers and seat belt extenders.

For a quick DIY solution, pick up a universal car seat cover. These polyurethane covers slip over the seat and are designed to fit almost any vehicle. They also wipe clean for easy maintenance. Whether you choose a bold, two-tone electric blue and black, pink or sophisticated neutrals like burgundy and tan on black, there’s sure to be a color to match your car’s interior.

During hot summer months, the fabric on your child’s seat can feel hot to the touch and the buckles can burn skin, especially when they’re wearing shorts or a tank top. A car seat sun shield protects your baby from the sun and keeps the seat and buckles cool so your child is more comfortable on long road trips.

As your child grows older and transitions into a booster seat, a seat belt pillow helps them sleep during long car rides by providing extra padding to rest against. Unlike using a blanket, stuffed animal or loose pillow that could become a projectile during a crash, these pillows wrap around the shoulder belt and are designed to remain in place.

If you plan on bringing your infant along for the ride, a baby car seat foot muff helps protect their legs from cold temperatures. You can also find a wide range of seat covers that shield your child from wind, rain and snow.

Traveling with your baby or toddler often means lugging around extra gear, and a portable car seat bag makes transporting and storing their convertible car seat much easier. Most models are lightweight, durable and fold down to a compact size for easy storage and portability.

Some models even come with a carrying handle for use on strollers or to attach to the car seat itself so parents can carry it hands-free.

Car seat accessories help make traveling with your little one more convenient. Ensure the safety of your baby or toddler while you’re on the go with an infant or convertible car seat travel backpack or carry straps, or grab a Doona travel bag to easily take your new doona on the plane or train. Keep your kiddos happy with a back seat organizer that holds snacks, toys and drinks. Keep an eye on your little ones with a rear-facing or forward-facing mirror that’s expertly engineered for the front or back of your car. And on busy roads, a back-seat entertainment system allows you to connect with them and entertain them with their favorite apps, games and movies. Keeping essentials close at hand is simple with a car seat clip-on bag that’s compatible with the Doona and other popular brands.
