(More customer reviews)Let's face it...this is just a little blanket with leg hole flaps, a strap & buckle and some toys...oh yeah and a watermelon pillow. not fancy and not stylish at all. But considering what I need it to do...I love it.
I have used two other such products and both were annoying. They either didn't fit right or I had to assemble it in order to use it.
The problem that I encountered was that I would would be holding my son in the entrance of the supermarket trying to fidget with straps and random little pieces of velcro quickly. All while people are trying to get around me quickly and my kid getting annoyed fast.
This one unrolls quickly...you can even leave the watermelon attached and it won't come off (velcro)...which means you just get two tabs (easy) and the whole thing unrolls and you can get the kid in the cart. I leave the strap they provide attached at all times and use it when one isn't available. I like that it doesn't have sides...simply because it means I can reach around and use the straps provided without have to meticulously lace straps through some hole around through the cart and into some other little hole. The toys are nice and basic...nothing mindblowing and that's okay. The most surprising feature is the watermelon pillow. It seemed silly but I used it and found it helped keep my baby stable and comfy (more shopping time). He also has the habit of throwing himself back with force when he is done (perfectly quiet until then) but the pillow helps keep him from banging his head. Also because it is a simple blanket I can use it as an emergency play mat and belly time mat (using the pillow for support if I need) when we are out and about visiting friends etc. I can also use it to change a diaper in a pinch. The pillow can also help with breastfeeding...kinda. (This allows me some latitude in my day to be easy going and spontaneous...kinda) So all in all yes, the lack of sides can be a downside in the middle of the store but nothing a little creative can't fix. (purse and jacket have to go somewhere)
Overall a nice product, very easy and quick to use, versatile. The down side: bulky to carry (but keep in mind it can double for a couple things in the bag) You have to wash it instead of wiping it down because fabric (I like it but I can see why it would annoy some other parent) and, keeping in mind the previous, can't be used in a restaurant baby chair (at least I'm not going to but you could if you HAD to)
