1. Wrap blanket for in the Maxi Cosi

Dressing your baby in a jacket before putting it in the car is not only a lot of hassle, but also dangerous. That's because you won't tighten the seatbelts enough over a thicker jacket to keep your child safe in a crash. With a wraparound blanket, you can keep your child warm and safe in the Maxi Cosi. Thanks to the handy openings in the back of the Lodger Wrapper wrap blanket Maxi Cosi, you can thread the seatbelts through the blanket. These then close around your baby's body. Then fold the wrap blanket around your child. This keeps it safe and warm when travelling.

2. Warm blanket for in the pram

You will want to keep your newborn warm and comfortable even when you go out in the pram. Wrap your baby in the wrap blanket and put him or her in the carrycot of your pram. This way, your baby will stay wrapped up warm wherever you go. Even if your baby is too big for the carrycot, use our Wrapper in the pram. Thread the straps through the openings of the wrap blanket, place your child in the pram, fasten the straps and fold the wrap blanket around your baby.

3. Cuddle blanket to keep your baby warm

A newborn baby has trouble keeping itself warm. A wrap blanket is a great way to keep your baby warm in the postnatal period and afterwards. Moreover, your baby remains surrounded by familiar scents in his or her own wrap blanket when being held by maternity visitors. A wrap blanket also keeps your baby wonderfully warm while feeding.

A wrap blanket is also handy to take along to consultation centre visits. Your baby often has to be completely undressed during these visits. Quickly and easily wrap your baby in the Lodger Wrapper and he or she will stay nice and warm. The wrap blanket feels wonderfully soft against baby's bare skin and thanks to the hood, the baby's head stays nice and warm.
