With the winter in full swing, there are gusty winds and if you are a parent of a newborn you know you can't let a little wind slow you down. Thankfully, products like the Sprout Shell infant carrier cover can help.

Many times we buy several products for our new babies to keep them from the elements as well as to protect them. Having to pay for several items can be costly so, when a product is multi-functional you know it must be parent invented.

When Sheri Whittaker gave birth to her third daughter in the fall of 1998, she realized the weather would soon be turning cold and she would be forced yet again to fashion and infant carrier cover out of a blanket whenever she stepped outside. Like every mom on-the-go, Sheri was quickly reminded of how difficult it is to keep a blanket draped over the carrier handle while trying to prevent it from flying away and exposing her baby to the elements. She was also reluctant to suffocate her daughter under multiple blankets. After searching every baby store for a solution, but finding nothing that worked like she wanted, she made a cover of her own.

As the years passed, Sheri was continually amazed that no one had the same idea she did. Ten years later the little seed sprouted when her oldest daughter Kirsten became pregnant and insisted she and her modern-mom friends have infant carrier covers too. Sheri and Kirsten were convinced the world was in serious need of a truly functional infant carrier cover.

Soon everyone noticed Kirsten traveling around town with her infant safely and stylishly covered and said they wished they had one for their baby. So, with Sheri's business experience and Kirsten's marketing background, Sprout Shell sprung up and quickly changed the lives of new mothers everywhere. Now moms can cover their little sprouts with style and ease without worry!

Sprout Shell is a privately owned company operated by a family of moms…Sheri who invented the product, Kirsten who insisted it be brought to moms everywhere, and Teri, Sheri's twin sister who uses her crafting and creative skills to help Sprout Shell create the hippest and most stylish infant carrier cover around.

It is more practical than the traditional blanket thanks to the elastic stretch band that keeps the cover from blowing off and fits over virtually any infant carrier. The tent-like enclosure makes it easy to keep on when you need to take baby out of the car while protecting your precious little one from the cold or even sun.

As a nursing cover, by placing the hole over your head and around your shoulders, the shell now covers your baby while keeping your breastfeeding as discreet as possible. The elastic works great to keep baby from exposing mommy.

Lastly, with all the H1N1 scare we are all more careful about putting our children in the store shopping carts. The Sprout Shell as a shopping cart cover is ideal because of the ease of use thanks to that same elastic band. Of course it can also be used on restaurant high chairs.

The Sprout Shell Infant Carrier Cover can be found online at Sprout Shell.
