Clever Baby Blankets - By: janehull

The standard baby blanket has been around for years and they are still very popular products around today, a simple square or rectangle of fabric that you lay over the baby to keep them warm. It is what most people think of when they are planning the equipment they will need for their new baby and is also a popular choice of baby gift. It is certainly something that I had many versions of when my babies were born and I used them in the buggy, car seat, bouncy chair and in the cot. I felt I could never have too many baby blankets because there was always one to hand and always one spare if I had to put one in the wash.

I always felt that I had what I needed and had never had any problems, however, when my daughter was about 2 I was really struggling to keep her warm in her pushchair on the school run, it was always at the time when she was having a sleep. I started using a larger adult blanket and tucked it in around her but it kept coming un tucked and falling down under the wheels.

It wasn’t until a friend of mine told me about a new clever baby blanket that was a perfect solution to my problems. It was a wrap that fitted into the buggy and the straps that feed through the holes. You put the baby in and then wrap them up. Even better it was a small local company and I was able to try one out before I bought it.

It means they get covered all the way round and there is a hood which keeps their head warm and the blanket can’t fall off and go under the wheels because they are effectively sitting on it. It was an absolutely fantastic solution to the problem I had been having with my standard baby blanket. At the age of 2 my daughter really was too big for the product and we couldn’t use the hood because she was too tall. But the rest of it worked brilliantly and totally made my life easier. I only wished that I had known about these products years before. It would have made such a difference right from when she was born because I wouldn’t have had to put her in thick snowsuits and coats when were going out, it also meant if the temperature warmed up you could just unwrap them instead of getting them out to take their coat off.

In essence it is still and a baby blanket but a very clever one, designed exactly for its purpose and it is one of those things that you can’t believe someone didn’t think of earlier. Of course it is designed by a mum who was having exactly the problem that I was, so it works perfectly.
