I can see how they'd be nice in winter. The health unit here doesn't recommend them, or at least don't want us to put in the minky interior part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176650 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 05:16:35 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1176650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a car seat canopy and it says it's $50, but there is a coupon code out there where you can get it for free + shipping. I would Google for the code because it ends up being about $12. We loved ours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176617 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 02:09:45 +0000 loveisstrange 1176617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used an AA blanket too.</p> <p>If you really want one, just buy a yard each of inner and outer fabric you like and sew them together. You just attach ribbon at the center to tie around the handle. It's a super easy project! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176616 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:57:25 +0000 Sapphiresun 1176616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my little one was born in August, but I just throw a A&amp;A blanket over like others have said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176598 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 00:45:13 +0000 Corduroy 1176598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one but I got it as a gift. I wouldn't spend $50 on it. It's just a blanket with some straps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176597 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 00:43:34 +0000 Kimberlybee 1176597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Yes we use a car seat canopy. LO was born in May and it helped cover her from the sun rays and bright lights. It was a gift from her godmother and she ordered it on Etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176591 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 00:28:19 +0000 shopaholic 1176591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: I didn't use one (just used an A&amp;A blanket), but DD was born in March, so there wasn't too much need. </p> <p>Afterwards, everyone I saw had the Carseat Canopy they got for Free with just paying the shipping and handling fee. I think<br /> ~$10? I've seen them in person - really nice quality. And if we still took her out in the carseat this winter, I'd totally get one. But she's in the stroller seat usually now. </p> <p>Maybe someone can find you a code? I think they're always in the back pages of certain magazines! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176501 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 22:19:39 +0000 ninja 1176501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used an A+A blanket. For the car seat canopies, I know that if you shop at Motherhood for stuff you'll get a code for a "free" one where you pay about $18 for S&amp;H. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-a-carseat-canopy#post-1176483 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 21:53:52 +0000 matador84 1176483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really see these too often until after I had ds. I've been thinking about getting one for DD but just looked at a few and they are 50 bucks. What kind did you use and was it worth it to have? </p>
