Let’s face it: Toddlers are messy. And while they are adorable, it seems that everything they touch gets sticky or gross. Nowhere is that more true than in the car seat.
Handling the Mess
It’s unfair that car seats are almost impossible to clean, but they are subject to some of the worst messes: playground dirt, rainy day mud, beach sand.
And then there’s snacks! Goldfish get stuck in the crevices and juice and yogurt make everything sticky. And disasters like car sick kids and diaper failures? Getting the smell out is close to impossible.
With an elastic edging that keeps the NIKO in place (like a fitted sheet), plus a waterproof bottom panel, the NIKO protects the car seat from most messes. And when messes happen, just pull the NIKO off, machine wash and dry, and then replace before your next ride.
Hygiene
When you think about it, our car seat covers are like mattress protectors and fitted sheets. You wouldn’t put your child on a mattress without a clean cover (unless you had no choice). Just like linens make a mattress more hygienic and cozy, car seat covers like the NIKO provide a soft, clean surface for your child on every car ride.
Temperature and Comfort
In addition to protecting your car seat, fabric covers like the NIKO protect children from extreme temperatures. The synthetic material of a car seat can get hot in summer and really cold in winter. Our jersey fabric is cooler and breathable in summer, while our gorgeous plush is cozy and warm in winter.
Safety First
Car seat manufacturers warn against using accessories with their car seats. They’re justifiably worried that something might interfere with safety features. But when we put the NIKO through intensive crash and safety testing, we passed with flying colors! All our tests proved—the NIKO car seat cover doesn’t interfere with any of the car seat’s safety features or performance.
Also, the NIKO’s side pockets have a safety benefit you wouldn’t expect—they reduce adults’ distracted driving by giving children more control of their car ride. Big enough for small toys and snacks, the side pockets allow children to keep their favorite items at hand. This results in fewer demands on the adults in the car!
Protect Your Investment
Because at a certain point, that car seat is going to be so gross you’re not going to want to clean it. When it’s time to throw it away and buy another one, you’re likely to suffer sticker shock! Keep your current car seat fresh, hygienic, and functional a lot longer with a cover like the NIKO.
Safety tested, parent trusted. The NIKO has the most safety certifications and the most recognition of any car seat cover on the market.
