The older kids have Lands End Squall coats and I can get them in their seats without loosening the harness. The youngest (now 2) wore a polar fleece sweatshirt for all but the very coldest days this year. We still carry her to the car when it's snowy since she's rear-facing and we don't have an attached garage, and we throw a blanket over her if we need to. We've tried the take-coats-off and-then put-them-on-backwards after-they're-buckled but it takes forever to do that with four kids. Likewise the unzip-buckle-pullcoatout-rezip method. On longer car trips we don't wear coats in the car and then do the we're-parked-close-enough-to-the-door (of restaurant, etc.) so-you-can-just-run-in-without-a-coat crazy-parent style. Did I mention that I'm looking forward to spring? ;-) I squeeze them in. The older kids have Lands End Squall coats and I can get them in their seats without loosening the harness.

Yuck! Just out of curiosity, how DO you handle winter outerwear in the car seats? Personally, I just cram BB in with his coat on (without loosening the harness, of course) and LS wears a lighter fleece jacket with a blanket on. Wow. Yuck!
