An article from CBC outlines the dangers of using snowsuits or jackets in car seats:
Bulky winter clothing may create car seat safety hazard -CBC News
Before buckling babies and toddlers into car seats, parents should be sure to remove puffy winter jackets that may slacken seatbelts, warns Transport Canada.
Barbara Baines, a spokeswoman for the federal agency, said winter coats and snowsuits may pose a serious safety hazard in the event of a crash.
"Unfortunately during a collision because there is compressing material, the weight of the child and the force of the collision is going to push that suit down ? which is going to make the harness loose," Baines said Tuesday. "[This] is going to make it possible for ejection."
Transport Canada said caregivers should keep children warm using alternatives to bulky clothing during the winter months.
