Baby Bee Cool Keeps Car Seats on Ice

The Baby Bee Cool Car Seat Cooler Pad gets points for being crafted by a mom from Arizona, but you don’t need to live in a scorching-hot climate to recognize the value of this little doodad.

Leaving the windows rolled up on a hot day effectively turns the car into a greenhouse, as you’ve no doubt realized when you come back from running an errand and get hit by a 200-degree blast of hot air. Though it takes a little work — you have to insert frozen ice packs into the pad before use — the Baby Bee Cool Pad is designed to protect baby’s car seat against such extremes for up to 10 hours, meaning no more burned buns (or worse) when you re-seat the little one.

$49.99 from Baby Bee Cool — and you may be happy to know there’s also a grown-up version.
