Car Seat Bags - They sure are useful!

Hi friends!

I have officially been on vacation since last Friday.
Internet access has been sporadic, to say the least. While traveling with two little kids is very fun, and keeps my husband and I on our toes, there is also quite a bit of down time. I find myself itching to sew, blog or read my favorite websites. "Unfortunately", I am forced to catch up on my reading instead.

We are in Toronto today, but we will be home tomorrow for a full glorious day before jet-setting it to Winnipeg. "Winnipeg???!?", my friends ask me dubiously. "Um, who goes to Winnipeg for vacation?", they always add. Well, us, apparently. If some of the best friends you've ever made come from the friendliest city, you've make the effort to visit too.

Anyway, I digress. I just wanted to share my car seat bags with you.
The red one is made out of a linen table cloth and with pink fabric is a gift from my friend. Anyway, they are just gigantic gift bags. I've checked in car seats at airports before, and if I'm lucky, the airline I'm with will have clear plastic bags that I can wrap with car seats with. Unfortunately, more often than not, these bags come out ripped and tattered. Imagine the kind of abuse the car seats go through.
So, this is my solution. Hopefully, the nice men and women who deal with the luggage will see that they are dealing with car seats, and will treat them with care.

Think they will be able to tell what's in the bag?

Hoping to catch up with everyone soon!

LOL...that's brilliant, Mama. And when you're not traveling, they can double as laundry bags! Those bags are enormous!

Fabulous idea! I hope the airlines are more concerned with your carseats than they were with poor Dave's guitar.
If you haven't already, you must see this hilarious (true story) song based on the songwriter's personal experience.
