Some Car Seat Cooling Tips and Tricks

• Pick a light color when choosing your child’s car seat. Darker colors absorb more light, which translates to more heat on your Ammon car seat.
• Point rear air conditioning ducts toward your child. New car shoppers should check out rear air conditioning ducts that provide greater airflow to backseat passengers.
• Use a freezable child seat cooling mat. On hot summer days, a freezable mat can keep your baby’s child seat cooled when you’re away from the car.
• Tint your windows a bit. This is a must in cities where the sun is shining intensely during the day. This will keep heat and UV rays out of your car.
• Precool your cabin. Many new cars and SUVs have a remote start, meaning you can set the AC before you hop in the car. Your days of getting into a hot car are over!
• Use a cooling car seat liner. Seat liners can prevent the buildup of heat in your car seat’s fabric, allowing air to flow through more easily.
• Use a child seat shade to block out the sun. Last but not least, you can cover the seat entirely when it’s not being used. There are several shades available for purchase.
