I could have sworn they were everywhere when DD1 was a baby but now I just can't find any.

Are they no longer the thing to use or is just cos I'm stupid

I've seen them online, Nimme. I'll have a look for you!

Nimme · 06/05/2005 21:30

Thanks I've been searching forever - even looked at e-bay!

there's one at Urchin (scroll down) but at £42.95 it seems a bit expensive. We got ours from John Lewis and I'm sure it was cheaper than that. It was really worth it though - we love ours and it washes really well!

one here - £34. Will look for more.

Nimme · 06/05/2005 21:31

cupcakes - many thanks. Looks like I have been stupid - should have looked for lambskin

here's the John Lewis one. £35.

JanH, definitely been stupid.

This is why I love Mumsnet - the questions I have asked and always an answer

Not stupid - we call ours a sheepskin too.

Nimme · 06/05/2005 21:35

cupcakes - how do you wash (managed to ruin last one in washing machine )

OP posts:

£20 for a "pram liner" (scroll to bottom) but looks like no cutouts for straps.

Janh · 06/05/2005 21:36

cool wool wash in machine, add glycerin in final rinse (keeps skin soft) and line dry on warm windy day. No heat!

Janh · 06/05/2005 21:37

That wasn't stupid Nimme, I looked for sheepskin first too (used to call ours "sheepy" )

cupcakes · 06/05/2005 21:39

We put ours in the washing machine! We also have one that used to go in her cot and I slightly ruined that by hanging it over the towel rail by the radiator - it dried out the back and is now rather stiff. Our seat liner goes through the machine at a low temp then either out on the line or in the tumble drier (as recommended on the packaging!)
See that the Urchin one includes a bottle of lambskin shampoo - maybe they recommend handwashing.

Nimme · 06/05/2005 21:39

No no - too much choice now
