The Cover Me Strap
Here is a blurb from the creator’s website, covermestrap.com.
I’m Natascia the creator of the Cover-Me and founder of Little Carr, LLC,
Being a busy mother of three I developed the Cover-Me strap out of pure necessity. I never purchased a shawl or nursing cover as I felt that it just took up room in my diaper bag and was one more thing I would need to wash, plus I didn’t want to spend $35 on a nursing cover that would just be one wrinkled mess when I went to use it!
One afternoon I was nursing my daughter at a park and just couldn’t manage to keep her blanket draped over my shoulder. I shoved the corners of her blanket under my bra straps in an attempt to lock it in place to keep us covered, but it wouldn’t stay put. I was fidgeting and my daughter was growing ever more frustrated when I thought…..why isn’t there a strap to keep blankets in place? I wanted a strap that was sturdy and sporty and stylish and would work. After finding the hardware and hiring a seamstress to make one for me to use, I realized that there was definitely a market and moms everywhere would love the Cover-Me!
What was initially designed as a tool to help moms breastfeed in public has truly become a tool that all moms need! I love getting emails from moms about the new ways they create cover with the Cover-Me.
I’ve used the Cover-Me as a nursing cover, bib clip, sun shade, lovey leash, and blanket stay! Shoot me an email or send a picture of how you use your Cover-Me! I love hearing from moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
