I didn’t realize what a great feeling would come from seeing an idea come to life from concept, to design, to fabrication, to end result. Best part is having the product actually function the way I intended! I’m referring to what I am calling a carseat canopy. The idea of a cover for an infant carseat was planted in my head by my mother and after realizing I have never seen anything sold for this job specifically I decided to take on the task of creating my own version. We’ve all seen a receiving blanket draped across a carseat to shade the babe inside but it’s really not the most functional tool for this use. So I designed this canopy to be long enough to cover the entire carseat from top to bottom without dragging on the ground. There’s also a cool slit that allows for the carseat handle and room enough for an arm to tote it around. I really like the end result and now that the design aspect is in the past I can whip these together fairly quickly. I hope they are as useful as I intend since us mothers can use all the help we can get.
