Here we are in the heat of summer. Swim lessons are in session, ice cream cones have melted all over my patio, and when I open my car door in the afternoon I get slapped in the face with a blanket of heat. As I write this it’s 104 degrees outside in Tucson and every parent has one question, how do you keep the your car seat chilled?
My kids dread getting in the car this time of year because they know how hot their car seats can get – that was until I came across the brilliant, and I do mean a brilliant, invention called Cold Seat.
The Cold Seat is a freezable seat cooler. Simply freeze the rolled-up Cold Seat then bring it along on your next outing. Cover the car seat when you get to your destination. Upon your return remove the Cold Seat, roll it up and store it. Your little one now has a comfortable seat to ride in. The Cold Seat has a Velcro tab to keep it rolled while stored and it fits easily underneath adult car seats. When you get home just pop it back in the freezer. (It fits nicely in my freezer door.) They come in the cutest patterns: Blue Camo, Sport and Pink Flower with little flip-flops.
The first time I put it to use I was so impressed how well it worked. It even kept the car’s metal seat belts (which are normally on fire) a nice cool temperature. For the first time my little girl didn’t say “Hot!” when we put her in her car seat.
Shari Griffin, mom of two, is the brains behind this amazing creation. Nice job, Shari. Talk about a Super Gal!
