Should I pack a pramsuit in hospital bag?

Seen a few tik toks of mums packing a pramsuit for their winter baby in their hospital bag, but I didn’t think it was safe for them to wear one in their car seat. Was just planning on having him in a bodysuit, sleepsuit, hat and knitted blanket? Are you packing a pramsuit?
