WHAT ARE THEY?

A pair of padded strap covers to provide extra comfort for your baby when they are riding in their car seat.  They are made by Sunshine Kids and cost £8.99 for a pack of two.

HOW DO YOU USE THEM?

These wraps are very easy to use because you just fold them around the straps of your baby's car seat and close them using the velcro strips.  You should position them near your baby's neck and face to prevent chaffing.

WHAT I THINK

I am glad I bought these because I always think newborn babies look uncomfortable with rough seatbelt material so close to their delicate skin. They are easy to attach and remove and can also be reversed if you want a change of colour. My strap wraps are black with pebble grey on the other side and they look very smart.  

They are padded with memory foam but this is such a thin layer of padding that I think normal foam would have sufficed.  They are suitable for washing in the washing machine, this is good because babies can become sick when they are in their car seat and the wraps will get dirty.  They take a long time to dry even though they're only small so don't try to rush cleaning them just before you are due to go out.

The wraps stay in the position where I've put them and don't slide down or twist round the straps. When my daughter goes to sleep she nestles her face into the wrap on her right side and I think this is deliberate because they have a soft and smooth feel that is very much like her comfort blanket. You can see straight away that they make the straps more comfortable for her and I wander why the big car seat manufacturers don't add this sort of padding as standard.
