Infant Carseats are a Mess.

I know the infant carrier carseat keeps my baby more secure, but I wish it were designed better. Whenever my little girl explodes I have to take it completely apart, and the nasty seat belt must pass through parts of the cover and seat that are clean. The boy's carseats don't do this. After putting Little Girl's seat back together this morning and then having to take it apart again this afternoon, I took to my sewing maching for answers. I grabbed a lap pad, which is waterproof, an ugly fleece blanket, and a fat quarter I didn't use on the Pirate Princess Quilt. In combining these I was able to create an absorbant pad to keep under her bottom. I also made a black one for Little Man. Since he is determined to no longer wear his diaper, but still making a few mistakes, I thought he could use one too.

With the rest of the Fat Quarter, I added a bit of purple here and there for her. She doesn't seem to be growing as quickly as the boys did, so she'll get to use this for a while.
