So the car seat belt should go under the coat.

This might be one of the most important posts you ever read because it could save your child's life. There was a terrible accident in Maine where a car and pickup truck collided, sending the 6-month-old infant who was in the car flying from the wreckage. The car seat was ejected upon impact, but worse, the baby was also ejected from the car seat. He was found 25 feet from the crash site.

The accident is being investigated, but upon reading the story and learning that the child was wearing a snowsuit and seeing the car seat still buckled up after the crash, I'd guess the ejection of the baby was due to the fact he was too bundled up. Heavy winter coats and car seats do not mix. Many of us do not know this. They compromise your child's safety.
