NO. The nomie baby slips over your existing car seat cover, and the velcro openings allow the shoulder straps to slip thru without the hassle of unbuckling the straps or removing the car seat."

The infant size is designed to fit on the standard infant size car seat, and the elastic edges allows for flexibility. The toddler size is designed to fit over most convertible/toddler car seats such as Graco and Britax. Again the elastic edges are there to allow for a comfortable fit on most car seats."

nomie baby can be machine washed, and the quilted design will prevent the padding from bunching up.

nomie baby is waterproof, so there is no need to cry over spilled milk or worse, because it won't leak onto the existing cover. No more sour milk! Also, many existing car seat cover care instructions say, "Do not machine wash" because they may shrink. This will extend the life of your car seat, since it won't get so dirty and worn, and if you have more than one child, you can pass the car seat down to them in clean condition, so they can make their own mess.

There are new products in developement. Please check the website for their launch.

nomie baby can be bought thru the website, www.nomiebaby.com and in many baby and children's specialty stores.

I am hoping that people won't throw away the packaging, and that instead they will use it for snacks, toys, books or to store another nomie baby in case of a spill or accident. In addition, a percentage of all sales will go to children's charities.
