Looooove this car seat cover! I searched high and low for something affordable that breathed for summer but still kept her out of the sun and this checked all the boxes for me! I was pleasantly surprised when it came and was a sturdy material in the middle and that the sides weren’t just mosquito netting. Cannot say enough good about it!

My wife really likes the cover. It fits our car seat perfect and it’s nice and dark for our son to sleep. The quality is great too. It’s not cheap material and is holding up well.

Exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find in any store! Only thing that I would suggest is a dual zipper so you could open it from either the top or bottom but not a big deal really - overall I love it!

Love it! Exactly what I wanted, and I requested having the arrows pointed horizontally, which she was more than happy to do for me! Fits my subtle Peter Pan theme perfectly. Thank you! So happy to support a Canadian Etsy shop!

Fun and Functional Baby Products for the Modern Parent

Finishing a quilt.
My current work area.

Hello,

As a new mom I was frustrated with the options for car seat canopies, so I designed my own. I wanted a canopy that wouldn’t overheat my baby, would keep bugs out and provided some much needed shade while still being sleek and fashionable. My summer car seat canopy was the perfect solution. Anything that can make a new parent’s life easier is definitely worth making! I have since added a deluxe version with a roll-up cover, a winter version with a super soft fleece lining, and a variety of quilts to cuddle up with on a cold day.

I started selling on etsy in January of 2015 and I am enjoying every minute of it. When I am not creating, you can find me curled up on the couch with a good cup of coffee or having a blast with my rambunctious little one.

If you would like to ask me anything about my shop or products, you can send me a convo or email me at Kathryn [!at] dearleoradesigns.com.
