Carseat canopies can be a parent’s best friend for naptime on the go. Specifically designed to fit over infant car seats, these stretchy pieces of material are made for a tight but breathable fit – blocking out sun and visual distractions. Parents usually use carseat canopies when using the carseat in conjunction with a stroller so they can easily peek under to check on their baby.

Features can include elastic sides for stretch or peekaboo openings. Some carseat canopies can also be used as nursing covers, high chair covers, and shopping cart covers for extra flexibility. BestReviews recommends only using carseat covers while the carseat is being used outside the car to avoid overheating accidents.
