    Abstract: A removable car seat cover has openings adapted to allow the crotch strap and shoulder straps to extend through the cover while the straps remain affixed to the car seat. The removable cover comprises a periphery that secures the cover to the edges of a car seat. Various configurations of openings for shoulder straps to extend through include: two vertical openings, a ā€œUā€-shaped opening, multiple horizontal openings connected by a vertical slit and openings for shoulder belts used with booster seats. Fasteners and panels can be added to each configuration to provide further protection to the underlying factor car seat cover. A matching canopy cover has extended panels to provide additional protection from rain or the sun.
