Abstract: A child protecting outer cover for an infant car seat covers the car seat and extends down the sides with an elasticized or drawstring bottom hem so as to be secured in place. The cover has an opening through which the face of an infant may extend, and a recloseable flap over that opening. Below the opening, there is a pair of recloseable body flaps which open right to the bottom of the infant car seat, or close up to the opening for the infant's face. When the pair of body flaps is opened, the infant can be placed into or removed from the car seat without having to take the outer cover off the car seat; and the cover may be placed over the car seat even when the car seat is secured in place on a support.
