Car Seat Blankets


There are a lot of baby help items out there and some I am a fan of, but mostly I find many of them useless and not worth the money spent in comparison to the “help” they give. But one of these precious items that I hold in high regards in Teddy Toes. Teddy Toes are car seat blankets that stayed buckled in and also swaddle your baby, keeping him/her warm in cold weather.



I have truly loved this item. My friend Carla gave it to me and I have used it ever since I have had my daughter. She just slides right in and I strap her in the car seat while in the blanket. Even up here in Alaska with the cold weather, it holds up. Especially, since I am not a fan of putting socks on my kid. I will put them on when we are in the house, but I am tired of loosing socks out in the public. So…I don’t have her wear them outside the house where I will loose them at the store/restrooms/babysitters/relatives/church. I just slide her in the fuzzy covered blanket.
You can get them at many placed: Nordstrom, Target, just random places online. But here is the website http://www.teddytoes.com/ for all of you interested. With everything this item has to offer I give this Teddy Toes a mommy helping rating of four out of five stars!

  4. What a great idea! I'll have to keep that in mind should I ever need one again in the future. (frightening thought!)

  5. That looks like sheer genius! I hate bundling them up so much that the buckles don't fit, and throwing a blanket over the top always just seems futile. It always gets kicked off.
    Perfect solution!

  7. How cool! Too darn hot to use them here in Texas- can't even keep the kiddo in a sweatshirt in the car for too long of a drive...gets too hot! I imagine that is great for those of you in colder climates though!

  8. Thanks for dropping by. Love, love this idea. I'm lovin' the pic of your hubby and Lucy. Your little girl is about two months younger than J (he was a month early).

    She's so cute. I can so relate to a lot of your posts!

  10. K Question. Were you able to use it when they were itty bitty or just now that shes a little bigger? I hope you guys are having a blast up in Alaska!

  11. Those are so cool! I've never seen those. I usually just use a blanket that falls off and into a muddy puddle.

  12. I just stumbled upon you and thought I'd say "hi" and I wish I'd had that!

    That is a truly great baby thing! And I agree, there's a ton of useless crap out there for us unsuspecting parents ;)
