Keep car seats cool with reflective emergency blankets

Hot car seats. Ugh. Liz has a fantastic tip for keeping them relatively cool during hot summer days:

A friend of ours has a great hack to keep their kids' car seats cooler in hot Las Vegas -- they cover up the seats with an inexpensive reflective emergency blanket (the silver ones). The seats stay noticeably cooler, even when it's 110 degrees in the shade!

Now if only we could keep the rest of the car cool! :)

That's a great tip! It can get horribly hot and sticky inside cars so anything that get them even a little bit cooler gets a big thumbs up from me!

My four year old is always complaining about hot car seats. That's a great idea. Sometimes I throw a towel on the seat, but that reflective blanket will work much better.

Awesome tip! I've used the car shade for the window, but then I'm left with a hot steering wheel. I'll have to see where I can get one of those blankets in here in Hawaii.

While I love supporting parent inventions, I'd rather spend less than $2 for each car seat than $50. :(

The emergency reflective blanket idea is genius! I must try this, I live in Texas and my husband and infant son are very hot natured and get VERY irritable when they get sweaty backs from hot car interiors.

I have to support the baby bee cool, I own one and in the heat of Phoenix, actually cooling off the seat and keeping the buckles from becoming burning hot is what I need. Emergency blanket is maybe ok when your car doesn't get to be 120+ degrees.
