From: Obsessively Stitching
My sister and her son came over to visit the other day, and I noticed this on his neck:
 OUCH! It's from his seatbelt! Being the sew-y, stitchy, crafty types we are, my sister and I decided we'd better make him some seat belt covers that very day. But we didn't have a lot of time -- especially with all the littles running around!

Your covers should fold over and close nicely. TA-DA! Five minutes, tops!
TA-DA! Five minutes, tops! MUCH better!!
MUCH better!!(These covers will work for a toddler-size child quite nicely. They'll be too long for a newborn!)
