Wondering what to give an expecting parent as a shower gift? Children's car seat covers are great for so many reasons as new parents will discover and 'seasoned' parents can confirm.
Babies are endearing and enchanting and fill your heart with more love than you ever thought possible. They are also messy and dirty and can fill every inch of your car with food and spit up.
There is a new fad of covering infant and toddler car seats with custom fabric and prints. The seats can be as unique as your child and can be purchased in a variety of fabrics and colours. Children's car seat covers can be used to show the gender of the child (or not) and can match your child's room or diaper bag or whatever. They can also be reused and recycled and be passed on to different children at different times. It will also protect your car seat and likely extend the life of it as sticky messes eventually gum up the straps and 5 point harness clips.
These covers go right over the existing seat as often the seats are covered with a very plain and neutral covering. The covers also don't usually come off and what little junior stains his seat with today will still be there a year or 2 from now.
When purchasing a children's car seat cover, it is important to consider the fit and fabric as well as the overall look you are trying to achieve. For fit, you want to purchase a cover that is designed to be used with your specific car seat. You don't want your cover to be too loose or too tight. Higher priced seat covers tend to be made with better quality fabric and likely will wash and wear better and last longer. The overall look you wish to achieve is also important as some parents want people to know their little ones are "princesses" or a real" boys boy". The covers can also show the personality of the parents, such as nature or animal lovers.
As a parent of two children and owner of 4 messy and stained car seats, a cover or two would have been helpful and gratefully accepted as gifts.
