Car Seat Canopies and Giveaway!
My little Owen, or, “He who does not sleep”, has enjoyed his new accessories. And, let’s face it, if I got one good nap out of this boy due to these great inventions, then they are well worth having!
It was evident that I needed a car seat canopy with my new baby when I couldn’t wait the month or two to get out of the house on account of “stir-craziness”. I made a cover, and since then have tried a few others out as well.
JJ Cole Car Seat Canopy
This Canopy achieved what I was hoping to: keep the cover attached to the car seat when there is rain and wind {this product just came out this month!}. I had my baby in April, and a few trips to Target to get my post c-section bod moving, left me in the rain. All I had was a receiving blanket to keep the rain {and curious strangers} away from my baby. This would have been a perfect cover for this outing, because you can check on the little one without disturbing him with the little slit in the front. Plus, it’s adorable.
JJ Cole Car Seat Canopy
LOVE this cover. All I want to do is keep my baby warm {drives his dad crazy}. These are so adorable, and maybe the warmth helps them sleep better? {are you seeing a pattern here? Ya, my baby no sleepy.} Anyway, super cozy, and much less bulky than other warm covers I have. This you can keep in the car for the chilly outings and late night trip to DQ {yes, we’ve done this}. This cover comes out in September {also coming in PINK!}.
WhipperBerry WhipperKeeper Car Seat Cover
This cover is the type of cover that I’ve noticed most of my friends have – cute, handmade, easy to attach and easy to stick in the diaper bag. This has been great because it’s an impromptu blanket and tummy time mat, so you don’t have to bring a bunch of things with you. It’s easy for me to bring the whole house with me when I take Owen out, so I love that I can use this for multiple things. This is the heaviest fabric I’ve seen used for this kind of cover – very well made and durable. Should last me for my seven kids {heh heh}.

I was wondering if you had ever heard of/seen a “Sprout Shell”?
It is totally multi-functional! It is an infant car seat cover, nursing cover, shopping cart cover, and a restaurant high chair cover all in one!
Isn’t it cool?

love this, my 1 month old son doesn’t sleep either :(
Love them!
Would love to try this one!
My little Lucy says that she would like to win, please and thank you! Being the second to be born in hard times she’s gotten a lot of big brother’s hand me downs and she’d like something pink and girlie of her own! :0)
As always thank you for sharing and thank you for this opportunity to win!
Have been wanting an item like this for a long time now – to give as a gift to someone I really love.
Adorable! Know just who I would give this to if I were to win!! Her name is Dawnee, you might know her…?
I would love to win!
My baby is due in October – just when it is starting to get chilly! I would love to win!
Thank you!
What a great giveaway – useful & stylish! I’d love to win! Thank you!
I’ve seen these canopies up close. The material is awesome, making for great draping while not being too heavy. Great product!
My c-section is on September 1st. This would come in handy, it’s adorable!!
@Rebecca L. – So cute! Never seen that before. Wondering how I’d feel about nursing with it on… but truthfully, any product that does more than one thing is so great in my book. Thanks for the link!
Pick me! Pick me! Our babies are just a few days apart!
No baby for me yet, but this cover is precious! I could pack it away for “someday.” :o)
Great giveaway – I could def. use one of these for my little one. My neighbor (who’s also a new mom) and I were just discussing ways to keep the babes out of the sun and prying eyes.
Very Cute idea!!
How super chic and handy are these…love it!
I am due with my second child and would love one of these adorable car seat covers. Seems to work much better than my own homemade concoction for our first, which would end up flying off of her stroller, often.
Thanks!
My first little one is set to arrive in early Feb. It’s going to be chilly, so a cute car seat cover like this would definitely help on the trip home from the hospital!
This is just the smartest idea ever! I’d love to win this for my friend who’s expecting this winter!
oooh cute! don’t know if it’s already closed but i’ve been dying for a cute one!
Cute! Would love to win :-)
Oooh I’m going to need this to keep my new January babe out of the wind and snow! These are seriously cute!
Oh this is so cute! What a great idea and I love that it is handmade.
What a great cover. And it doubles as a blanket or mat…love it!
I just had a baby girl last week and these look like they would be great!!!
SO CUTE! AS IS EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH, ASSOCIATE WITH OR EVEN LOOK AT!
I want this. Pink would be great!
thanks for hosting! hope i win!
so cute!!
Love these especially after seeing the one you use. Good luck with all 7 of those kids :-)
Hey there just stumbled on your awesome blog through JJ Cole. Love your reviews and these products! I’d also loooove one of those covers! I always have this problem when going out with Chloe – the canopy on the carseat is just not quite big enough and she still gets hit by wind an rain and I do the same – throw a dinky receiving blanket over it!
sooo many cute ones! I need this sooo bad for my new little girl arriving in 4 weeks. yay!! thanks for the chance.
No joke, I just thought about buying the JJ Cole one…
I love the functionality of the WhipperKeeper! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I would love to win one!! I’m expecting a bouncing baby girl early this October!
I’d love to win this for my friend! Adorable.

I would choose the blue and green cover if I won!
I really like the fabrics they use for these covers.
Thanks for the chance to win!

These are great. I really like the blue patterned one in the bottom picture.
Oh I love these!!! They didn’t have them when I had my son 4 years ago (or at least I had never seen them)! Now that I’m pregnant again, I would LOVE one of these beautiful car seat covers! Also really like the pacifier clips. Very pretty stuff!
Eeeee!!! I love these! They are so beautiful! Although I don’t have a baby yet, maybe if I have one of these then a baby will love it so much that it will finally come to me!!
Wow- These are the cutest. I have a little boy on the way- would love to win!
Pick me! Pick me! Looks like something our sister would need!
oh, with number three on the way – this is onre thing I don’t have that I would LOVE! :)
I have a February baby due who could use some extra coziness while traveling!
I love the fun fabrics available in your store.
I’d love to win this.
If only you knew how much I want that!!! Dawnee could get a lot of good out of it.
Perhaps this would help my little guy stay asleep even when his sister is dancing about!!!
