Any one have an etsy store they recommend for car seat canopy?! I didn't have one w K...she was in prime car seat age during winter so we mostly used our warm weather one...
This one will be during summer so I'd like a true canopy for hanging out outside...
Recommendations on etsy shops for it?!?!

I looked on etsy for a long time but I ended up buying a free one (just had to pay shipping) at carseatcanopy.com and it was decent! It held up well too. This was the one I bought and it has a minky dot fabric on the inside.

@HLK208: us too!
I had a mid July baby in humid Mi weather. This worked well and is still in good condition after a few months of constant use!

Just be careful about using in the car. I read online many of those fabrics are huge flame catchers and light up and burn fast.

@T.H.O.U.: good point...thanks! I mostly plan to use it at parks, restaurants and what not during the summer months...
@mrsjyw: @HLK208: how did you ladies get them for free?! All I can find is 40% off...making them around the price of etsy ones...

I would think the minky-sided ones are too hot for summer? I was planning to use an A&A blanket.

I have the minky one pictured above too. I find it more helpful in the winter. Why do you want it for warm weather- shade? Darkness for naps?
I feel like it's just a blanket with two Velcro loops- couldn't you just take a muslin blanket and make it yourself? Or uppababy makes a really nice cover that pops over any car seat with mesh sides and uv protecting top.

@mrsjyw: Thank you!!!
@ShootingStar: I agree on the minky ones - especially since I will mostly be using it for summer. Looking up the A+A ones now...
@Foodnerd81: Ya - mostly shade/anti distraction for the summer months. Being in Michigan we kind of move out doors for the 3-4 nice months we get so I'd like this to help DD2 nap during trips to the zoo, dinners outside, boat rides, etc...I worry about her ability to sleep with the sun shining brightly on her...
I'm looking at the A+A ones now...but also planning to ask my mom if she could rig something out of an A+A blanket for me...

@Mrs D: I borrowed this uppababy cover for my first (summer) baby and it's pretty awesome. I doubt you could make the blanket style for less than this clearance price actually (though it's not as pretty as an A&A blanket. Just another option.

@Foodnerd81: I wonder if it fits non-Uppa car seats? I found the A+A ones on amazon where I still have my completion discount...so they arent that bad at all!

I got the "free" one too and it was great for my winter baby with the warm minky underneath!

@Mrs D: yup- the UB one fit my graco snugride and my friends chicco keyfit. But I see the appeal of the other style too- can always use it as a back up blanket too.
