I've just bought a double buggy as i'm pg with DC2, which has a fully reclining seat. The pram manufacturer sells the baby cocoon things for £200 to put a baby in, for 0-6 months, i guess. Can get on ebay for £100, but only in black, which depresses me! So, i thought i'd try making one. It just needs to have 4 sides and a base and two handles for lifting it out and putting in the cot when we get home (possibly, although the thought of a loop handle and a newborn is a bit scary, maybe it shouldn't have handles and stay in the pram). Anyway, first port of call was googling to see if anyone has done something similar, but whatever i search for, all i get is manufactured ones which fit particular prams, no patterns or ideas at all.
So, does anyone have any a) experience of making one or b) any idea how I could?
Basically it's a quilt shaped like a box, but with possibly some foam (or maybe a moses basket mattress? on the bottom for extra comfort. Thanks for your ideas!
ps i'm a confident machine sewer, so be as complicated as you like!
