Kill: JJ Cole Bundle Me

I have a mild hatred for most car seat accessories since they generally cause you to use the car seat wrong and are so obviously dangerous I just don't get how anyone uses them and thinks "yep that's safe!"

The JJ Cole Bundle Me (which I've dubbed the JJ Satan) is one of them.

It's this poofy thing that goes under your kid (and between the harness) and causes a huge gap in the harness. You THINK it's tight but if you get into an accident the bundle me will compress and your kid could be ejected from the seat. Which means at Least serious injuries at worst death. It also could cause the slots on the seat to not line up properly on the seat (which is bad).


What's more important your kid having a pointless piece of crap on their seat or them being ALIVE? I pick alive. Using the Bundle me on the car seat turns your kid into a crash test dummy. that cover was NOT tested with your car seat it is not safe to use. If you live in a cold place use a Showercap style cover (one that goes OVER the car seat not under your kid) or use a blanket, blankets and the shower cap style cover are a hell of a lot cheaper anyway. :-P

If it didn't come in the box keep it off your car seat. It's just that simple. Some infant buckets come with a cold weather boot THOSE are safe. The JJ Satan is okay on the stroller but who in their right mind spends $40 on a stroller cover when a blanket works just as well... oh look at that the same logic applies to the car seat! *giggle*
