BundleMe

I was checking out the reviews on BRU for the BundleMe and one review sticks out for me (see below). Does anyone know if this is true?

I bought this product thinking it would be PERFECT for my December/January Baby... However, when I had my carseat installed by the local RCMP (Carseat program offered free of charge), the officer explained to me that in the case of an accident, all insurance would be null and void if this was in the seat, SO, I didn't end up using it, just incase. I was very sad as this is a GORGEOUS cover and VERY soft inside.

I have never heard of this.  I know a lot of people who use these and I have one for DD but not one person has ever said they are bad.  It would be interesting to find out though.  Does anything come up in Google about it?

I have not heard of insurance being null and void if one is used, but the police etc, don't recommend them.  The package says that they are carseat approved but I don't know how true that is.  All carseat manufacturers will say that you can't add anything to the seat since it isn't tested with it.  I used it with Joshua and it is already in Abigail's carseat.

I just did some additional reading and you are right they are not recommended for use with a car seat. They recommend the kind that go over the carseat like a shower cap.

I just can't figure out how insurance would come into play. So insurance won't pay for a new car seat? Or are they talking additional health coverage not kicking in? Makes no sense to me.

I check with our insurance company(security national) about this when Julian was born and they confirmed that it could be an issue if there were any bodily injuries in the event of a car accident.  We ended up buying the type that go over the car seat instead and that is what we will be using for DD as well.

I have heard this being the case;

they also have issues with infants in snowsuits (or bags {persay}) As they are unsafe if they are the littlest bit baggy on the child.
After my cousin was in an accident (minor fender vender) the cop told her that had she been in a major accident her child could have sufficated and would not have been covered by insurance had the the baby needed *additional helth care.
She was instructed to use blankets to cover over the baby once buckled in or a cover that went over the carseat!

I've never heard of it voiding insurance, but it is definitely less safe for LOs because you're adding that bulk.  We still had one, but for our stroller only.  We used one of those 'shower cap' style covers for our carseat.
