Stroller Child Cover

So I am having a really hard time getting us ready to go on walks in this really cold weather. I want to go on walks so I can stay in shape for this pregnancy. Today while I was on a walk I got an idea. I found this item for sale online and decided I could make it myself. Part of the reason I don't like going on walks is because I feel Joshua is too cold. The next reason is my legs are too cold.

So I used an old Fleece blanket of ours (we have like 10 of them no joke) I thought this would be a good use for it. I folded it in half then sewed around the three edges , not the folded edge, then I cut it to size. I then sewed three large button holes, for the buckle to hold Joshua in, to go through. Then I bought two LONG zippers, sewed them on, ironed on some ball patches and there you have it.




Joshua had fun modeling for me.

I figure he should be warm enough in it in his pants, socks and shoes. On really cold days I'll put another blanket over his legs under the enclosure. Our stroller also has a plastic cover that comes down to cover his face so the wind blocks him. I am looking forward to trying this out tomorrow. I just need to get long underwear for me and I'll be set to go.
