Tips for Making a Car Seat Poncho
Making a car seat poncho is an easy way to keep your child warm on cold days. The poncho can be used as a blanket, a seat cover, or a sun screen.
To make the poncho, start by finding an old shirt or jumper that you no longer need. Cut the shirt or jumper into a square shape that will fit over your child’s car seat. You can also use a blanket if you don’t have an old shirt or jumper.
Measure the width of the car seat and cut the cloth accordingly. Leave enough fabric so that you can tie it in a knot at the bottom of the car seat.
Next, measure the length of the car seat and cut the cloth accordingly. Again, leave enough fabric so that you can tie it in a knot at one end of the car seat.
