Carseat Controversy

Ever since I've had the girls, I've become such a softie when it comes to kids in general.  I have a hard time watching TV shows or movies that shows kids getting hurt or in danger.  I see a lot of posts on Facebook about kids being hurt in car crashes or parents doing it.  I get tired of seeing them all the time since it's just so sad.  Now that it's starting to get colder, another type of post is going to start to take over Facebook; carseats and big coats on kids.  I'm already dreading it.  I'm old school.  I put my girls in their big winter coats, then put them in the carseat, just like I bet my parents did before me.  Now before people start freaking out, let me explain why.  The biggest argument against it is the fact that the straps of the carseat are way too loose against the body.  Ok, but let's break it down. As long as the coats fit right, the straps are snug against the coat, and the coat is snug against your body.  So unless the straps are really loose against the coat, they are going to be strapped in tight, and there is no wiggle room.  I could see the danger if you put the coat on the kid, strap them in, then take the coat off... I dont know anyone that would do that, though.  I know people dont agree with me, and that's ok.  You dont have to.  But if you dont, please dont tell me all the reasons Im wrong.  You're not going to change my mind and it's just going to irritate me.  We'll just leave it at you dont agree with me and call it a day.
