If the sensors detect a gap greater than that which is allowed by the sensor between the bracelet and the child's skin, they immediately send a "tamper" alarm to the Base Unit to warn parents of the possibility that the bracelet has been removed.

Generally, no. For safety, the harness straps must remain tight on the child's shoulders regardless of any clothing. You can put a blanket over the child, OUTSIDE the harness straps or put your child's coat on backwards after they are in the seat.
