    Zip on a Poncho Instead of a Coat!

    Taking care of our children is a top priority for busy parents and grandparents. I'm here to help you do that with my ponchos that provide a convenient alternative to winter coats for kids in car seats and wheelchairs.

    In 2015, my business flourished locally and online when, after traveling with my own granddaughter riding in her car seat without a winter coat, I added car seat ponchos to my Etsy shop.

    Car seat ponchos are my biggest seller, and I love making something that keeps little ones warm and makes life easier for the people in their lives who love them and care for them. As a grandparent myself, I appreciate the convenience of ponchos with two way zippers and hand slits.

    In 2018, I expanded my business with ponchos for children and adults in wheelchairs. My wheelchair ponchos can make travel easier for people who have trouble getting in and out of a winter coat. This style poncho will work well for older children and adults in general.

    I readily admit that it is God who blessed me with my talent for working with patterns and fabrics, and I thank Him daily for the opportunity that He's given me to use my gifts in building this business while helping people care for those they love.

    All of my children's items comply with CPSC regulations.

    Zip on a poncho instead of a coat!

    Frequently asked questions
    Care instructions

    Ponchos and hats are machine washable in cold water, gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low. No bleach. No iron.

    Sizing details

    All product measurements are included in each listing description. When ordering a poncho, the most important measurement is the length. My general advice is this, "When in doubt, size up!"
    I'm happy to discuss sizing options with you before you place your order. I also have a Facebook group with photo albums of People in Ponchos. facebook.com/groups/elainesearer

    Should I buy an extra warm poncho?

    Our extra warm ponchos have a layer of quilt batting sewn between the two layers of fleece. This extra layer provides a lot of extra warmth without adding a lot of extra bulk.

    Extra warm ponchos are quite popular among customers in the northern and western United States and Canada.

    Here are some things to consider when choosing regular or extra warm:

    ~Will your car be warm when you put your child in his/her car seat?
    ~Do you plan to wear the poncho on your child only in the car or for other outdoor activities?
    ~Does your child tend to get too warm quickly or does your child mind the cold?

    If you have questions other about the extra warm ponchos, I'm happy to help.

    What is a custom or personalized order?

    A custom order is any item that you customize by choosing the size, fabric, and style. Keep in mind that custom orders are not returnable. Exchanges are allowed only under certain circumstances. We do NOT accept returns on hat orders. If you have questions about your order and whether or not it is eligible for return or exchange, please contact us.

    Shop Hours

    Our shop is open 24/7 for your shopping convenience. If you have a question, please send a message, and we will answer as soon as possible.

    Do you sell products made from licensed fabrics (like Disney, John Deere, etc.)

    Unfortunately, because of copyright issues, we don't sell items made with licensed fabrics. This is always confusing for shoppers because many shop owners do sell licensed fabric items. In some instances, Etsy shops have been closed down for copyright infringement, and we've decided not to risk it. We are happy to work with you on an order using any of the fabrics that we have in stock.

    Will you add a few inches of length to my car seat poncho?

    Because my car seat poncho is circular, I am not able to customize the lengths of the ponchos. If you would like a longer poncho, the best thing to do is to buy a larger size. If you are planning to order a size 6 poncho and would like a longer length, I recommend ordering a children's wheelchair poncho. The wheelchair ponchos are shaped differently, but will still work in a car seat. Because of the difference in design, the wheelchair poncho lengths can be customized.
