Itchy and scratchy? Dingy and dirty? Is there a proverbial pea {taking on the shape and consistency of a Cheerio} hiding underneath the layers of blankets or coats that you use to keep your car seat clean? While we all aspire to treat our kids like little princesses and princes, trust me, this is the wrong way to go about it! Keeping those nasty stains and sticky spots off your car seat is as easy as can be… with a little help from The Lilly Pad Company.

The Lilly Pad Company is the new kid on the block in the manufacturing of waterproof, washable, easy-on easy-off toddler car seat covers. The Lilly Pad cover velcros on and off over the manufacturer's cover, so parents don't need to remove the car seat from the car and fumble with straps. Spilled drinks, potty accidents, and messy seats no more... the Lilly Pad is waterproof! The waterproof fabric prevents leakage and keeps the original cover dry backs each car seat cover. So after an accident, you can remove your Lilly Pad and keep traveling in the manufacturer's cover until wash time. Did I mention that this is newest smart kid on the block?

Covers are available in ten attractive soft ultra suede fabric patterns with coordinating piping. Each is machine-washable, dryer safe, and won't wrinkle, shrink, or fade. The Lilly Pad car seat cover is made of a luxuriously soft, high-quality, upholstery-grade fabric that will last and last through repeated washings. Keeping your Lilly Pad clean is as easy as tossing it in with the dirty clothes {from washer to dryer and back to car again}.

Although The Lilly Pad does not fit car seats with armrests, it is well-suited for most 5-point-harness toddler car seats. It is specifically made to fit some of the most popular models: the Britax® Marathon™ and Roundabout®. If you are uncertain about the compatibility with your seat, be sure to see the company's full list of compatible car seats.

If you truly want your kids to ride in comfort and style but don't want to shell out the money for a personal chauffer and daily car detailer, opt for the next best thing. Say goodbye to dried-on crumbs and sticky spills, embrace the luxury of clean and comfy with The Lilly Pad!
