Cold Seat Invention Keeps Kids Safe From Summer Heat

Car seat coolers reduce risk of baby burns

(PRWEB) June 11, 2007 -- Every summer, parking lots and pediatricians' offices are filled with guilt-ridden mothers and their crying babies whose delicate skin has been burned by the hot buckles, harnesses or attachments from their car seats. Parents can also avoid burning their hands while strapping their child into the safety seat as well. For all of them, it's the same story: the child safety seat became the proverbial "hot seat." But what's a parent to do? Spring and Summer don't mean you stop running errands. If anything, because your children are out of school, you need to bring them with you more often. And errands mean parking: Parking at the grocery story, the mall, soccer practice, and at the town pool.

Cold Seat is practical, purposeful and affordable solution to a very real problem; for anyone who parks a car outside in a warm or hot climate area, they will tell you that the inside of a vehicle can become an inferno very quickly. In fact, during the hot weather months, on a typical 100° plus, it takes just 15 minutes for a vehicle's internal temperature to reach 170 degrees. In addition to the air being superheated, your steering wheel, door handles and car seats become burning hot.

For Shari Griffin, a Phoenix, AZ mother, this became an inspiration. Feeling wretched over the discomfort that her child sometimes because of his hot car seat, she looked everywhere for solutions. She did what the experts advised -- covering the safety seat with a towel or blanket when she wasn't in the car to help keep it cooler. But face it, when it's really hot, there is very little that a towel can do. She left her windows open a crack, used sunshades, and then proceeded to wait while the air conditioner cooled the car. Unfortunately, the air cooled much faster than the seat.

Seeing no solution, her "motherly" instincts pushed her to invent a very simple, effective and cool solution. She cleverly fabricated a safety seat cover with sleeves in it that would hold ice packs. After freezing the seat cooler at home, when she would venture out with her son, and take her rolled-up frozen cover with her in a tote. When she parked the car, she covered the safety seat with the car seat cooler. Then, when she returned to her incredibly hot vehicle, her son's car seat was wonderfully cool, keeping him happy, cool, comfortable and safe!

Realizing that every parent who lives in warm or hot climate areas has the same need to protect their children from the spring and summer heat she incorporated and went into business. Her innovative, award-winning product, appropriately named, Cold Seat, is now being sold all over the U.S. and Canada. She has designed three styles that are trendy and child friendly. All are available for $49.95.

Cold Seat is made of a durable, double-sided quilted cotton fabric, designed to keep the seat, the harnesses, buckles and attachments cold. Depending on the temperature, the ice packs stay frozen for up to nine hours, which is plenty of time for any daytime errands. You'll find yourself wishing for an adult-size Cold Seat!
