Toddlers can make a mess and ruin a new car seat in no time. Fortunately, a car seat cover can offer protection for the car seat, as well as added comfort for your toddler. Car seat covers are available at most online and retail shops that carry baby items, with various designs, styles and fabrics for you to choose. Pick the one that will give you the best bang for your buck.
Baby Bella Maya
The Baby Bella Maya car seat covers offer comfort with the added padding and protectors for the straps and belts. They are easy to put on as well as to take off. The company offers ready-made toddler car seat covers compatible with most toddler seat models that are available in the market today, including Britax, Graco, Maxi, Evenflo, Cosco, Safety First and many more. Some examples are Zebra Girl Toddler Car Seat Cover and Ginny Giraffe with Ruffle Toddler Car Seat Cover for girls, and Daddy Camo Blue Trim Toddler Car Seat Cover and Beary Stripe Toddler Car Seat Cover for boys. Piping and/or ruffles are common designs of the Baby Bella Maya car seats.
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association honored Baby Bella Maya in 2005 with an Innovation Award. Whenever a product receives a JPMA seal, it means they are better or safer than other similar products on the market. In 2010, the average price of a Baby Bella Maya toddler car seat was $80.
Hip-N-Cozy
When it comes to affordable pricing, the Hip-N-Cozy line of toddler car seat covers cost at least half of what most products with similar features sell for. These car seat covers usually mix two types of fabric for added style. For example, solid colors are complemented by printed fabrics. The Hip-N-Cozy toddler car seats, however, may also come in just one style of fabric, including solid colors or printed fabric. Faux mink, velvet, cotton, satin and denim are some of the fabrics used. Hip-N-Cozy also offers custom designs, where you are free to design your child’s car seat cover. Just let them know, and they’ll make it for you. The Hip-N-Cozy toddler car seats are compatible with both three- and five-point harness systems. They are machine washable and easy to install. In 2010, the average price of a Hip-N-Cozy toddler car seat was $40.
Ritzy Baby
The custom-made Ritzy Baby toddler car seats are compatible with the Britax Boulevard CS and Britax Advocate toddler car seats. These car seat covers fit snugly on these car seat models. Each offers a headrest and body pillow for added comfort and/or protection during impact. Ritzy Baby also offers couture toddler car seat covers for moms and babies who prefer frilly designs, complete with monograms. They may also be made of fabrics such as silk and satin. The couture designs are compatible with Evenflo Symphony 65, My Ride 65, Maxi Cosi Priori, Britax Decathalon, Safety First, Alpha Omega and more. The average cost of the custom-made toddler car seat cover from Ritzy Baby started at $130 in 2010.
