We wrapped our baby in the receiving blanket. As you leave the hospital you have the option of having your wife hold the baby as she’s wheeled out…or you can strap the baby in the car seat and put it on the wheel chair handles.. You can take another blanket and cover the entire car seat so when you transfer the baby to the car, he/she is protected from the weather. Usually, the other person (father, friend, etc) can pull the car right up to the door.

what my wife and i did was put our baby in the car seat then wrap the baby around them. i’m in sacramento myself and we’re having a baby in march. all i plan to do is a long sleeved pants outfit along with a cap and blanket
