New Life For Your Britax



In the hunt for the ultimate car seat, we stumbled upon the Britax Marathon a year ago when The Fred needed an upgrade.  Of all of the car seats that we have purchased over the years, this one has been my favorite for many reasons.  When it came time for The Fred and StickyBun-Scotti to once again move to a larger seat, I knew that I would want StickyBun-Scotti to move into a Britax Marathon as well.  Since the Marathon that we currently own had a pink-flower cover, I began the hunt for a new cover that was a little bit more boy-friendly.  


After pouring through hundreds of sites, I came across an eBay store called Sweet Cherubs by Lynn.  These car seat covers seemed to be the most well-made and came at a bargain price in comparison to most of the car seat covers that I had seen.  The selection of prints was also a huge selling point since there was a vide variety of some of the hottest fabrics.  I am always hesitant with my eBay purchases, but with a 100% positive feedback for the seller, I was put at ease.

Even though the covers are custom made, I received my car seat cover very quickly after my purchase, and there was communication from the seller throughout the stages of the transaction.  When the cover arrived yesterday, I was absolutely thrilled!  The pictures on eBay don't even do these car seat covers justice.  As someone who sews, I was extremely impressed by the quality of the craftsmanship as well as the quality of the materials.

I just can't say enough great things about these car seat covers.  StickyBun-Scotti was instantly a fan and spent most of the evening watching his favorite shows while relaxing in his new car seat.  Thank you very much to Sweet Cherubs by Lynn for making my favorite "little monkey" (and this Momma) very happy!

Wow--that looks beautiful--I'm impressed! But wait a minute--StickyBun looks like he's gotten bigger since we last saw him, and it's only been a week and a half. What does he mean, growing into a little boy when we're not around?

Sigh.
