Simplicity baby car seat pattern number 3712 has patterns for a baby sling, a stroller cover and custom car seat covers that you can sew out of any fabric that you choose.
McCalls doesn't offer infant car seat cover patterns, but they have a free pattern online for a neck pillow that supports children's necks during travel.
Get a cute animal print, flowers, ladybugs or any one of the cute and cool slip covers that are available. For warm weather you'll want something in cotton that will breathe well and won't make baby so hot! In winter, shearling, fleece or faux fur will keep baby warm.
The frames of infant car seats are built to last forever; it's the infant car seat seat cover that lets us down. Other than being in a wreck or on the recall list the frames of a car seat are pretty indestructible, so are you just stuck with an ugly cover? NO WAY! Not any more! Somebody got smart and came out with an infant car seat slip cover to cover that durable car seat frame so that it looks new until baby is in the booster seat!
Baby car seats are not cheap. In fact, car seats can be rather expensive. It bugs me that they stay serviceable so much longer than they stay pretty. Don't ask me why it took so long for someone to come out with infant car seat slip covers but better late than never. Child car seat covers are now available for any kind of baby car seat that's on the market.
Most of the infant car seat slip covers are much prettier than what came on the baby car seat to begin with! Wild animal prints like leopard, tiger, zebra and even pretty black and white cow prints are as common as solid color sheepskin covers. Yippee! I can change my child car seat covers to match my diaper bags or my cell phone faceplate cover if I want to! There are lots of prints for baby carseat covers for old carseats and I just can't wait to build a complete wardrobe of them! I want carseat replacement covers for spring, summer, winter and fall. Just make sure that any modifications or adjustments you make don't tamper with the car seat's safety or performance in that regard. For great information on car seats and their safety you can check out any number of online listings of car seat safety organizations.
Kids don't care what their old carseats look like so long as the are cool and comfortable, so I guess this is really cool stuff for moms! We can have style and pizzazz that was once for the elite members of society and celebrity! Let's cover that worn out Britax Marathon car seat cover with the same fabulous zebra print that we have in our baby's crib or you are free to use any of the other patterns that coordinate with your other neat baby stuff!
If you're into sewing, by all means make your own free sewing pattern! Baby car seat patterns can be traced off using the car seat cover that you are replacing. If you sew your own infant car seat slip cover this gives you an opportunity to choose your own modern print fabrics and personalize your baby car seat cover. Match the child's car seat cover to your baby bedding set if you want. Monogram it or sew lace, or anything else on it that you like so long as it doesn't remove easily and become a choking hazard for baby.
Britax Marathon car seat covers and Britax round about car seat covers are very popular because these car seats rate so highly in many consumer reviews and they are expensive. If you are lucky enough to find one of these infant or toddler car seats for sale secondhand, you can cover it with brand-new infant car seat slip covers and get a great car seat for a fraction of the cost of a new Britax. I don't mean to imply that the only infant car seat slip covers available are for the Britax car seat, there are replacement baby car seat covers for the other brands such as Graco as well. I'm sure Evenflo and baby car seat covers for all of the others are in the works.
Some people like to have two Britax car seat covers on hand at all times. This is so when one infant car seat slip cover is being washed you will have another one to put on the car seat. If this is your plan, be sure that you get a baby car seat cover that is washable.
