Saving a few dollars, yet solving a couple problems :-)

Problem #1: Lexi has switched to a booster without a back in attempt to make more room in the backseat for the baby seat that will be joining it in October, so now the seatbelt rubs on her neck more.
Solution: Some scrap fabric, batting, and velcro.... Seat belt guard. All stuff I already had! :-D
One side

other side
roll up and...
seatbelt guard!


Problem #2: My changing pad is falling apart. I've never had to actually buy them due to their inclusion in diaper bags and friends' hand-me-downs... the last one had duct tape pieces but eventually met the garbage can... I just didn't want to do that again. I'm lazy...but not that lazy.
last surviving changing pad...you can't see the cracks and holes in this picture, but they are there :-/
Solution: Scrap fabric and fleece, including plastic I got on clearance like 3 years ago for a cover for a high chair I no longer own. New changing pad :-)
New one.
