Yes you can use the cover without the shell base in the car. You only have to lift the cover which has an elastic around it to be able to pass the belt. Then you just have to pull the cover back down around the shell. The belt does not prevent the closure and maintenance of the cover on the shell. You also have the option of completely detaching the cover and reattaching it afterwards or leaving it open for the journey if the temperature in the car is adequate.

This table is for information purposes only. Since the seasons are not the same from one year to the next, the seasons for each cover may be earlier or longer.

The winter cover has two layers of insulation and keeps your baby warm up to temperatures of about -25°C.
If the winter coat you wear in freezing becomes too hot, so will the Petit Coulou Winter Cover. It would therefore be preferable to choose a mid-season cover. -

22- HOW DO I KNOW IF MY BABY IS WARM IN HIS COVER?
Note that each child has a different metabolism. Some are more cautious than others. The easiest way is to check the temperature behind your child's neck. If it is wet your baby is too hot.

You can wait a few minutes and recheck.

23- CAN I REPLACE THE INSULATED BACKING WITH A COVER?
It is not recommended to replace the insulating bottom with a blanket. As there are different models on the market (more or less hot) these have not been tested and we cannot guarantee energy efficiency. Also, it is more difficult to properly place the cover at the bottom of the seat since it does not have the openings to let the straps pass like our insulating bottom. In addition, the blanket may move, create clumps of tissue in some places and create discomfort.
