Iso baby outerwear safe for car seat

Size 6-9 months. Neutral or boy.

I know puffy snowsuits are out because they can get compressed so the belt isn't tight enough.

Bundleme is not good enough because I need to take the baby out without the car seat sometimes.

For my first babies I had this delicious thing that fit like a snowsuit (over clothes, great zippers easy on/off) but was more of a plush fleece so it didn't create bulk under car seat straps, while still being very warm.

I can't use it for this baby because not only was it bright pink but the girls were born closer to winter so it's much too small. Same brand doesn't seem to make this anymore.

Please help with links! It's already cold, I had a lightly padded thing that had a little of the puffy problem but I felt still acceptable because I could tighten the straps well but still tried to use a blanket over instead of it, but anyway it's getting too small now and I need something better ASAP.

That's what I'm asking for. No idea where to get one, the stores I checked only had fluffy or nothing.

Do you have this and can confirm that it's not fluffy?
Kicking myself because I just placed a gap order big enough for free shipping a few days ago and totally should have added this

YUM! Wish it came in something less white Confused

ETA: I see the next link has one!

Gap is on sale cheaper, I'm loving the look of the Carter's one but if someone can confirm that the gap is not fluffy I'll get that one for half the price.

I got this primary coat for when my baby was younger. It was recommended by a safe car seat influencer on Instagram (it ofc may just be marketing but I trust that it’s safe).

Thanks for your help! Looking for full body coverage so the Carter's is more like it, but gap is half the price so I'm hoping someone can confirm if it's what I'm looking for.

Carters.com has the white for a lower price, would be $20 with shipping though. And only white or white/blue plaid. But it has feet, while the gap one does not.

I hate shopping. Too many little decisions.

This is also the type you are looking for

Thanks! Looks yum. Ended up offering from gap because sale + free returns just in case (and I found something else to order so free shipping too), and the details say it has fold over feet. Not sure how exactly that works because feet stick out forward and foldover seems straight down but we'll see when it comes and if it doesn't work then I'll move to the next option

Thank you all, the links were very helpful!
