Sheepskin for buggy - where to buy?

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

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!

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

JanH, definitely been stupid.
This is why I love Mumsnet - the questions I have asked and always an answer
Nimme · 06/05/2005 21:35
cupcakes - how do you wash (managed to ruin last one in washing machine )
Janh · 06/05/2005 21:35
£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!

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.
