☆ Wordless Wed Linky Party is open every Wednesday! Link all #WW pictures here ! Thanks for supporting the weekly Fitness Finds series :) Getting customised stroller liners and teething drool pads seem quite the rage now, especially when the Tula craze started a few years ago. It wasn't really like that during *ahem* my time... I think (o^▽^o) Like changing clothes to suit the season or mood for the day, parents like to change their stroller liners and baby carrier drool pads often for stylish, unique looks to match their own {or the baby's} outfits or feelings! It’s been about 5 months since Lil J joined our family and a few weeks back, she was baptised. As a little celebratory gift for our special girl, this happy aunt here ordered a customised, handmade stroller liner set & drool pads from Sunday Kids for her. Lil J has a dull grey stroller and black baby carrier which I thought needed some brightening up (✿╹◡╹) Plus, the liner & drool pads make for a practical gift.
A cotton liner will keep Lil J cool and dry in the tropical heat while protecting the stroller from the usual mess of snack leftovers and even diaper accidents… which every mummy knows happens oh-so-often haha. And drool pads help to protect the straps of my sister's expensive baby carrier from dribble & drool, and will save her from washing the whole thing too many times! One thing good about Sunday Kids liners/ drool pads is that they are reversible with bright patterns on one side and a matching plain color/ design on the other side. If one side is dirty or in case you just want a quick new look, you can just flip them over #valueformoney Based in Singapore, Sunday Kids was founded by fellow mum Veronika Fischer who lovingly sews stroller accessories {e.g. liners, strap covers}, car seat liners as well as baby carrier accessories that's suitable for many brands. I like that most of the fabrics she offers are high quality cotton sourced mainly from USA and Japan. Veronika reckons that Japanese prints are the cutest and I no doubt agree!
Fun trivia: Veronika, her brother, father and daughter were all born on a Sunday! In her family, being a “Sunday Kid” was always associated with good luck, and since Sunday is traditionally a family day connected with relaxed, happy feelings {something that Veronika wishes to reflect in the colourful products she carries}, she chose the name “Sunday Kids” for her shop! Don’t worry if you don’t have a standard pram / stroller / carrier model. After choosing the fabrics, I spent a few days corresponding with Veronika regarding Lil J’s stroller as she has a Bfree iwalker, a US brand which is rather large and not very common here in Singapore. Veronika was very patient and guided me on the measurements and photographs to take to help her make the best fit for the customized stroller liner and accessories. That's the great thing about buying from small businesses like these - the owners take great pride in their craft and tend to be more attentive / provide fantastic personal service (^q^)
Anyway, my sis and Lil J has been using the items for about 1 month now and she helped to provide me with some feedback on the items which I'd share with you here: "I would have preferred the padding to be thicker so that it'll be more comfy and protect the baby's back & buttocks against the bumps. I'm currently using this on top of the existing padded liner. Fabric-wise, the white stars with grey background is interesting but isn't too loud, and matches my baby's grey stroller perfectly! Not to mention good against dark stains and dirt too. I'm glad that the customised liner fitted my stroller well too even though the model isn't very popular here." "These are comfy and cushioned. Love that they are sewn with snappers and padded for baby's shoulders! They also protect her delicate face against scratches from the rough bits of the straps, and the snappers definitely make detaching / attaching a breeze when it's time for washing." "Baby loves the cute, funny-faced cats!!
It's also padded so nice and soft especially since she tends to kick her feet against it. The cover is a slip-cover but it would be good to have snappers/ velcro closures too as while the bar is detachable, it has side "metal clips" to hold it in place when inserted into the pram so you have to stretch and pull the cloth over.. which I'm afraid might cause tears." "These are great to have especially with Singapore's weather, as our hands will perspire. They also add color & character to pram. This pair of 2 covers come sewn with velcro and so are easy to fix on. Some added padding would be nice for a softer feel." "I use this to strap Baby's teether toys. It's very useful as it's long and also comes with buttons for easy attachment and removal." Baby Carrier Drool Pads "Love the customised pads for baby's own carrier and the buttons used - color even matches the sweet design! Pretty nice detail there. It would be even better if it was thicker since Baby sometimes falls asleep in the carrier and her head falls sideways onto the pad.
With thicker padding it would feel gentler on her head like a mini pillow heh... and make it more versatile!" Overall, my sister said “I love love love the choice of cloth patterns you've chose for us and the product design from Sunday Kids!” Great to know that Lil J’s gift is so well-received and won’t end up as a white elephant haha.
