When Lil’ Duck was just starting to sit up, we got this handmade cart cover from a friend. It has a pocket in front of him with his name on it, a few toy loops, a cute little pillow (with a loop to attach it) and a drink holder. It stretches to fit any cart, high chair, etc. – when it gets dirty, we toss it in the washer and dryer, and it is good as new. Now, after 18 months or so of heavy use, it still looks great. I even got an extra pocket in case we have another one, so we can put their name on it rather than my little guy’s.
As you can tell, these photos are from when we first got it – he actually loved the pillow so much that he would fall asleep on it! Now we don’t use the pillow, as there is no way he’d sleep if there was something interesting to see.
Anyway, this thing is the best invention ever (well, that and my sling 
) – keeps him away from germs, keeps him comfy (did I mention it is padded?), keeps his toys and food near, and is easy to use! That’s what works for us….. if you need one, e-mail her for fabric samples (pretty much anything you want) and pricing and all that. It’s well worth it!
That’s nice. Wish I could have something like that for my grandson. Just don’t know if he’d stay put in it for awhile. He’s hyper-active.
Thanks for dropping by.
Julia, my niece, has one similar to that. We actually reviewed it on our site a couple weeks ago. It is so brilliant. I wish I had had one when my son was small.
My little guy wants to “hold hands” all the time, too. He tells me that as soon as I open the door to get him out of the carseat. Unfortunately, he’s a runner, too, and that never works, so he’s always belted right in!
Great pictures! I love the idea, but since my twins were my first, I never got one of these because just finding a double cart was miracle enough!
What a lovely idea!
I am just trying to get a mental picture of it? Could I be so bold as to ask for a picture of the cover in it’s entirety? I have never seen one of them and am thinking that when/if number two arrives I would need a visual to show the shop assistants when I go hunting for one!
It sounds like a must have!
I love my cart cover. Mine was made by a friend, too!
I love our cart/highchair cover! I remember thinking when I had my first child- yeah right I’d never use one of those! But I use ours ALL the time!
Sweet! My little guy is too old for this now I think. He likes to walk along side of the cart and help push.
I love the pics of your son napping in the cart, how precious!
I’ve posted a WFMW tip as well. Stop by and take a peek.
That would have been wonderful to have with my kids when they were younger. But it would make an excellent baby gift!
What a cutie patootie ya have there:-). Happy WW
