Important information from Naélie - Sweet as a mother
The softest and most versatile car seat safety poncho on the market
Naélie's car seat safety poncho was designed primarily to keep your little one safe for the first six years of his life. No matter the model of car seat or your shell. Your treasure will be protected from both the cold and the elements, but also in the event of an impact, since the seat will be able to do its job effectively in the event of an impact.
And here you are probably wondering… Why is the waterproof poncho for the car the best alternative for your child and you?
A quality, warm and waterproof car seat safety poncho
A soft minky with an adorable pattern on the outside will provide warmth and softness to your treasure during his car ride. Inside is softshell with a waterproof and windproof membrane of outdoor quality and soft microfleece to ensure optimal comfort for your mini.
These fabrics have been carefully selected to ensure a quality and durable product. It has been designed to suit the harsh winter and unpredictable weather of Quebec.
Is your little one still in the shell? We thought of you! The waterproof car poncho was designed to be long enough to cover little feet! I recommend that you slide the waterproof car poncho under your little one's little feet to keep him warm. This way, the poncho will not stick out and block the mechanisms of the shell.
Quicker to put on than shouting “poncho”
Are you starting to panic at the thought of having to put a coat on your little one? Little kid who can't stand up enough to cooperate. Big kid who has just enough attitude not to cooperate. And we won't even talk about the zipper which is very misnamed when your little one's hair gets caught in it. All that will soon be a thing of the past thanks to Naélie's poncho.
You just need to put your little one's head through the opening of the poncho and that's it. Your little one doesn't like his hood? Remove it using the snaps. In the car, lift the poncho so that your little one can rest his back on the seat, fasten the harness and you're ready to go.
One poncho, three seasons and six years
Because running around the stores every season looking for the perfect size for your mini, it will no longer be your fight for 6 years, 3 seasons per year. The poncho is scalable 0-6 years. It can therefore be suitable for all types of car seats and shells. Its materials are chosen so that you can use it in the fall, in winter even in freezing temperatures and in the spring. It is waterproof in order to manage both heavy rain and snowstorms. You can adjust your little one's clothing according to his need for warmth and the time you will spend outside.
How to dress mini under the car seat safety poncho?
On colder days, I suggest that your child wear a hat, mittens and a neck warmer. You can also add a small fleece jacket,
When it's a little warmer, he can simply wear a long-sleeved sweater underneath it.
Don't dress your child too warmly under his poncho, to avoid the risk of hyperthermia once in the car. If necessary, you can put a small comforter under him that he will be able to remove in time. We all have the reflex to unfasten our coat after a few minutes in the car and even to take it off. Your little one will be just as warm after a few minutes.
The waterproof car seat poncho acts like a small igloo. In a shell, it covers the whole body, while in a car seat, it covers up to the knees. So very quickly, your mini will be nice and warm under his poncho.
At Naélie's, you encourage local
Because supporting the local economy is super important to us! The fabrics are purchased and printed in Quebec. The patterns are designed in Quebec. Obviously, the ponchos are also made in Quebec. So you know that not only will you have a superior quality product, but you will also have supported the local economy.
Snaps to make your car seat safe poncho super versatile
The poncho is not just for the car. The snaps on the width of the poncho will allow you to separate the poncho. You can therefore use it to cover your mini while carrying. You can also use it for a nice stroll in a stroller, being assured that your mini will be super comfortable and warm.
The snaps can also allow your little one to take his arms out of the poncho without him getting too cold. You can also choose to adjust the hood or simply remove it if your little one already has a hat. Also, if your baby is still an infant so as not to put weight on his head. At Naélie, it is important to offer products that will simplify your life and adapt to your reality as a mother. Because we know very well that each child is different.
Let's not forget the little babies in shells
We know that their heads are still fragile and that they cannot control their movements and tone well. I advise you to remove the hood. This way, there is no danger of the hood falling near their face and they cannot get free. In addition, you probably already know this, but small babies lose heat very quickly through their heads. It is therefore recommended to use a hat, rather than the hood, in order to keep baby warm.
You can use the poncho in the "traditional" way, but you can also use it as a cover. So if you have your little one strapped into his shell and you don't dare disturb him because he is calm or asleep, simply place the poncho over the shell. Baby will be warm and dry between the house and the car. And once in the car, remove the poncho. You can place it on your little one like a blanket.
Another little tip for small babies, if you want to have less fabric at the back of his head: you can turn the poncho 90 degrees. So instead of putting his head in the center of the poncho, you can now put his head closer to one end of the poncho. Undo the third and fourth snap for example and hey presto, you can easily put his poncho on. Also remember to put the excess fabric back under baby's feet
Warning:
In the pictures, we show you the aesthetic look with the poncho tied around the handles. It's super cute in a stroller, but don't forget to detach it in the car, because it's FORBIDDEN to attach anything to the handle of the shell in the car (yes yes even the really cute toys).
Why can't I just wear a winter outfit?
The reason is simple. In case of impact, the coat compresses and becomes as thin as a sheet of paper. Thus, it will create a large gap between the child's body and the harness, which means that the child could be ejected from his seat. And even if you think you are tightening the harness as much as you can, it will not be enough. First, it will not be enough since it is impossible to tighten as hard as an impact force. Second, your treasure will be all stuck and uncomfortable.
The poncho is the safe solution. Once properly installed, it does not interfere with the mechanisms of the car seat. The poncho is simply placed on the seat at the same time as your child. However, do not forget to check that it does not protrude from the shell, so that it does not interfere with the shell mechanism.

By the way, I have one last little recommendation to make to you:
It is highly recommended to keep your child in the rear-facing position for as long as possible. Although it may look like they are stuck or their legs are bent, this is truly the safest position for them, as long as no limits of the bench are exceeded.
