Brit drivers can pick up car seat gadget that keeps you warm this winter at B&Q – and it costs less than £18

WITH temperatures beginning, many drivers are searching for clever ways to stay warm and comfortable while out on the road.

While some cars come equipped with luxuries like heated seats and steering wheels, many don’t.

Fortunately, this can be easily remedied with a simple yet effective heated cushion currently available at B&Q for under £18.

The Hillington heated car back seat cover, priced at £17.09, is more than just a basic heated cushion – it’s an advanced and feature-rich massager designed to keep you warm and relaxed.

Built to heat up quickly when plugged into your car’s cigarette lighter, it’s ideal for brisk morning commutes.

But this device goes beyond just warmth – it’s also ideal for soothing back pain and promoting relaxation, thanks to its range of impressive features.

Equipped with six strategically placed vibration motors to target the back and even thighs, it uses a three-speed setting which allows independent control of four motor zones via a remote control.

Indeed, its preset massager settings provide a personalised experience – likened to having a personal masseuse.

But winter drivers may just appreciate the warming functionality, great for staying toasty during the cold weather, especially when you’re waiting for the car heating system to warm up.

While the cushion is compatible with both car seats via a 12V adapter, it can also be used in the home via a mains socket for desk chairs in the office, or on the go – thanks to its lightweight design that makes it easy to carry.

Made from EVA material and soft sponge cushioning, it’s designed for maximum comfort with a thick cushion.

For a simple set-up, just connect the adapter to the device and power source for quick and convenient operation, and then adjust settings to suit your preferences with the included remote.

Whether you’re braving cold winter drives or looking for a relaxing massage at your desk, this heated cushion offers a practical and affordable solution to keep you warm.

This comes as drivers are getting ready for the issue around foggy car windows this winter – which can be solved using a 1p kitchen essential that will get rid of condensation in your car.

As temperatures drop, misty windscreens can become a real hassle but this tip will help your visibility during cold weather.

The temperature difference between the cold air outside and the warmer air inside the causes condensation to build up inside your car.

But the top tip, shared by motoring expert Ben Pitcher, could stop drivers losing visibility – as well as saving them from a whopping £2,500 fine.

The Highway Code says drivers should always completely demist their windows before setting off and condensation can obstruct this.

If you try to drive with an obscured view you could be fined up to £2,500 and get penalty points on your licence, especially if it leads to an accident.

Ben, who works at the diesel particulate filter cleaning service DPF Experts, has urged motorists leave teabags on their dashboard.

This is because they act as sponges to soak up excess moisture.

He added that black or green tea are the best options to choose for optimal absorption.

Speaking to the Express, Ben said: “Placing them in your car can help reduce condensation, especially in colder months.”

The motoring expert admitted tea bags aren’t as effective as professional dehumidifiers – but reminded people they’re a hell of a lot cheaper.

For best results, he advised placing multiple teabags as close to the windscreen as possible – you can buy a packet for just 40p at Asda’s.
