My little guy had red marks on his neck from the car seat so I had to hurry up and make some covers for the straps! I used scraps I had and some velcro so they really didn't cost much.
Materials:
Thick Fabric (mine reminded me of a Santa suit)
Cuter Fabric
Velcro
Our straps are 1 1/2 inches thick, so all of the measurements are for that size. Also, don't forget that you are doing everything listed here twice, because you need to make a set of two.
1. Cut your thicker scraps 5 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. I just used one for each side but if you want to have more padding you can add another layer or two.
2. Cut your decorative fabric, 7 inches by 7 inches.
3. Center your thick fabric in the middle of your cute fabric. Fold the edges of the decorative fabric over twice and iron it in place. Sew the edges down.
4. Cut your velcro strips to 5 inches and sew them on.
You're finished! Now you can velcro them onto the car seat straps and have better car rides! Thanks for reading!
