I ordered a two-pack of covers but only received one. It's probably best to order in twos.
Yes, it's unstructured and fits most seats (we tried it on a Graco bucket seat and a Nextfit). The seats became WAY WAY too hot with it, so I never used it again.)
I'm not sure what you're talking about. We do have three, however. They're also very functional.
Yes. Graco car seats are in both of my daughter's cars. They're appropriate for both. prevents her from being burned by her seat belts. They're a good investment. I hope you find this information useful.

Remove yourself from the situation. This is a terrible idea. The paper backing on the inside of the thing started crumbling to pieces as soon as I unwrapped the first one. It looked like confetti had rained down on the inside of my car. It was extremely brittle, and simply touching it disintegrated the paper. But I was out, it was hot outside, and I knew when I got out of the store, my 3-year-old would be in a hot car seat. I decided to use it anyway, despite my better judgment, for her comfort, and it was a terrible decision. My child's car seat looked like it had been covered in white ashes after 30 minutes when I removed the seat cover. br>br>Do not purchase this item; instead, look for something with a better lining made of better materials. They must have gotten a batch that didn't crumble to pieces when they opened it because they all gave it 5 stars.
These car seat covers had a lot of potential for me. We live in south Texas, where the summers can be scorching! In the summer, I have two children in car seats, and I have to turn on the air conditioning for ten minutes before I feel comfortable putting them in their seats; these covers appeared to be the solution to my problem! br>br>First and foremost, they are a little thinner than I had anticipated. They did, however, fit perfectly over the seats (a Graco contender and a Cosco Scenera). I like how they roll up easily and how the rubber band keeps everything in place for storage. However, I was underwhelmed by how well the product performed in practice. It does keep the seats a little cooler, I can't deny that. They are, however, still very hot! I wasn't expecting a miracle, but it basically changed the temperature from "3rd degree burn" to "seriously uncomfortable but no long-term damage. " I still use them, but now I remove the covers, turn on the air conditioning for about 2 minutes, and then load the kids into the car. It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. It has saved some time, but not nearly as much as I had hoped.
These shades fit both my bucket seat and a full-sized Safety First Air (which is huge). Because one of our car seats is black and we have a black car, we would have to run the air conditioner for about 5 minutes in the summer to cool the interior down to a comfortable temperature for the car seat. When I say the seats get hot in the sun, I mean painful to touch with my hand, so I grabbed these while shopping for something else in the hopes of making the car seat bearable in the summer. We've used them in some pretty brutal sun/heat days, and they actually keep the seats cool to the touch. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who owns a car seat because they are truly must haves.
I bought two of these and promptly threw them out! A large amount of white flaky paper-like material fell out of each package as soon as I opened it. I tried shaking it out, but everything came from the inner liner. I'm not going to put that mess in my car or on my kids' seats. It was a waste of money. I threw both covers in the trash right away.
We use it for our Graco 4 ever and find it to be a good car seat cover. The cover is inexpensive enough that we don't mind if it tears, but so far it has held up well and is keeping the baby's seat cool. Because the cover's ends are elastic, you can fold it over the seat's bottom and tuck it above it. We don't use the seat's headrest yet, so we simply tuck the cover in to keep it in place for the time being. br>br>These things are still going strong 7 months later. There were no tears or rips, and it kept the baby's seat cool during our scorching summers (92-degrees Fahrenheit). The temperature is 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Still a 5 star rating.
It's incredibly simple to put on, and it fits our Chicco Nextfit perfectly with plenty of room to spare. During the summer, it appears to keep the seat cool. We live in North Dakota, where summer temperatures can reach the 80s and 90s, but not to the extremes that some southern states experience. So it works well for us; I can't speak for people who live in hotter climates. It will, at the very least, be beneficial! I would strongly suggest it!.
One was in my car, and the other was in my mother's. It did keep the infant car seat cooler (as long as we took our time getting it to fit snugly - Surprisingly, getting a good fit on a convertible car seat (which it appeared to be geared toward) was more difficult with one hand because baby. Unfortunately, both quickly began to disintegrate. I like the concept, but I'm not sure I'd purchase it again.
However, when I don't have a choice but to park in the sun to keep the temperature down, these have been fantastic at keeping the heat out.
