Blanket for Baby Carrier, Stroller, Car Seat, Picnics, Playdates and…nursing cover!
{This giveaway has now ended. Thank you for entering!}
I love my WooBee and B Blanket’s from Rain or Shine Kids. The ‘B’ Blanket is in the picture below. It’s the super mod, soft, plush feeling baby carrier blanket covering Violet in the Baby Bjorn. It ties on and I can flip it up to cover her head in the sun. But it is SO much more.
All Comfy for Our Walk
My family uses these blankets every dayand we have since I bought our Woobee for Sophia in 2006 when she was just a baby. All my babies have stayed cozy and dry wherever we go! Here is Violet with the WooBee!
Cuddly and Warm in the Stroller
I contacted Rain or Shine Kids to tell them how much I LOVE these blankets and they offered to send me their newest blanket for review as well as provide one for my readers. You can win your own beautiful ‘B’ Blanket!
We have already covered my huge crush on MacGyver and my belief that all things made for babies and small children should attempt to behave like this magnificent always ready with a solution man!
That is to say, stuff for kids should be pretty simple, very sturdy and really USEFUL. When it is possible, children’s items should be good for more than one thing and more than one age. The WooBee and ‘B’ Blankets pass all of my silly tests!
The Facts
1. This really is a water resistant mini picnic blanket. These blankets are unbelievably cozy on one side and water resistanton the other. This makes it an indispensable piece of baby gear. With one thing you can keep drops of rain off your kids and keep them warm. On a baby playdate you can have one blanket for stroller, park and inside. Picnics fly by with totally dry tushies! I love it!
The Girls in the Sun
2. There are 2 ties on the upper part of the blanket so that it can be attached to a stroller or car seat or used as a nursing cover. Like my actual nursing cover – Miles and Sophia also use these as capes too. A multi-tasking blanket! Yep – Violet is under there and able to eat while we play outside in 50 degree weather. Perfect!
Nursing with Neighbors
There is enough room above the ties to flip this part up if you need to cover the baby’s head to shield her from rain or sun!
Cozy & Warm in Car Seat
3. The quality is excellent. My Cow print Woobee Blanket is now more than 3 years old and has been washed many many times and it still looks as good as new! Now Violet gets to use it!
Chillin' on Wet Grass on the WooBee
4. The patterns and fabrics are awesome. The Woobee is available in tons of colors and 3 fun prints including the Cow Ranch print shown above. The ‘B’ Blanket is made out of polar fleece (think fuzzy and warm) and is available in the Rings pattern that I received as well as a pink Sunburst pattern and a blue Squares pattern.
5. Rain or Shine Kids is a mom owned and operated company and these blankies as well as their bibs and burp cloths are all made in the USA in the pacific northwest. Gotta love that!
Overall
I use these every day. I keep them in my stroller and we literally use these blankets to keep warm, to keep dry, to have picnics…basically these blankets help us to enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather. The only thing I might change is to add a snap on each side so that when it is used as a car seat cover it is not hanging way off the edge and can be snapped up. That’s a tiny thing though. These blankets get a big huge Mommy Words Woo Hoo!

I would love to use this for my 4 month old son who LOVES to be outside but absolutely HATES to have son in his eyes, or be cold. He loves to go on walks but I live in Oregon and it can get quite chilly, very fast, so it’s nice to have a blanket on hand that is waterproof and can be used on the ground and used to keep him warm, as well. Those are awesome little things, for sure!

Hi friend!
I’d use this right now as a picnic blanket since the weather is getting so nice, but come August when Baby X is here, it will be all him/her, I’m sure!

Oooh!! Something new & fuzzy to try!! I think Maizie would probably use them as a cape, ala Miles & Sophia….but for the new baby it looks like a great little blanket to plop her on in the shade at the park with big sister!

Forgot to say how we would use it! My daughter will be playing tee ball this summer so we will be at the park a LOT! We would use it as a blanket to lay on in the grass, cover up in the stroller or carrier, and also as a nursing cover.

Hi Brittany!
I’m from grads and would love this woobie for our new little guy, arriving in August, 2010!
LOVE YOUR BLOG SO MUCH! ~Jen
[Reply]
Seems like a great product Brittany! I’d use it for my little man Gavyn who should be arriving in the next month. I’m sure it would get lots of use with the Northeastern spring weather that we get here in PA. I’m sure Kelsea would love it as well.
[Reply]
Wonderful! I had never heard of these, but they seem great. I’ve got my 2-yr-old Fuss and a baby on the way, so I know I’d get a lot of use from it! How fun!

If I won this super cool blanket I would use it this Spring and Summer to get out and enjoy the weather with my little winter baby girl. I can’t wait to take her out to all our local parks and festivals and this blanket would make a great picnic blanket.
[Reply]
I would use this constantly for my 3 month old son. I would use it in the stroller, in the cradle, in the playpen.
[Reply]
oops I forgot my required entry LOL I would use this blanket for picnics outside with my almost 1 year old daughter.
It would be awesome for Symphony on the Prairie!

Well Brit, you sold me! What Mom doesn’t want a multi-use item?! I love the idea that my newborn Leila (who should be here within the next week or so!) can be safe from the rain and cold here in NY…..whether using it as a stroller cover or a Carrier cover! AND I LOVE that I can also use it to breastfeed her discreetly! Not to mention my 6 year old can throw it on as a cape and turn into ‘Super Big Brother’ and help mommy while feeling special at the same time
. What a GREAT product!!! With this product it prevents the already busy mom from having to PACK multiple items since this is many things all rolled into one!! Love it!!
[Reply]
I would use this for my 3 month old son. It would be great for use everywhere as it would be drool proof, and not get soggy like a regular blanket!
[Reply]
Well, I was going to say I would give it to one of my best friend’s for her 3 month old baby girl, but I just might be tempted to keep it as a picnic blanket/cape for Liam!!! lol! Very cool…and seeing you use it as a nursing cover actually made me miss those days…sniff, sniff.
[Reply]
I would use this for my month old daughter… would love to have one!! =)

I can already see so many uses for a WooBee. Baby #2 arrives in 2 days…cue the nursing cover/baby carrier cover! For my 3-year-old, I see the multi-purpose big-brother cape/picnic/parade blanket taking shape
I am astounded at the fantastic products that are available today. This is a great one!

Number 100! Also, if I were to win this I’d probably loan it to a friend this Winter as she’ll have a baby by then and has much colder weather . But I’d demand it back for when my 2nd child is born! tee hee.
