JJ Cole Bundle Me Question

I have a JJ Cole Bundle Me and I am not sure if I want to keep it.  Do I have to put on a bunch of outerwear on my LO?  I also have the other JJ Cole car seat cover that fits over the entire car seat.  With that one I just put her in it in her clothes and a light blanket in side along with a hat.  I actually find the Bundle Me to make the car seat kind of tight since it fits inside the seat and not over it.  Please let me know.

I'm not sure why they even make the bundle me that goes into the seat because you aren't supposed to use them. They make the baby less safe and void the warranty on the seat since you aren't supposed to add anything to it.

If you can return it, I would. And just use the "shower cap" style that is safe.  If you can't return it and have a snap and go, you can use it for winter walks at least.

The car seat cover is safe, the bundle me is not, for the exact reason you mentioned. The straps don't protect correctly with such thick clothing. Many car seat manufacturers actually say not to use thick coats and aftermarket additions on your seats because the seats haven't gone through safety testing with them in it.

Unfortunately I can't return it since I threw away the packaging and receipt.  I never thought about it that way.  I will keep the showercap style.  Maybe I can sell the bundle me on craigslist.

Return it. The only safe type is the shower cap style that just goes over the top of the seat. You don't want anything extra between baby and the seat.

I wouldn't craigslist it. Then someone who doesn't know it isn't safe will use it unsafely. You can use it in your stroller for cold weather walks.

Or, I'd call the company and insist on returning it anyway w/o the packaging since it's mostly useless and quite dangerous.

If you are that concerned, cut the back out of it.

I agree cut the back out  - google Crazy Carseat Lady JJ cole bundle Me for a tutorial.  Or use it in the stroller (we have two and use them in our jogger)
