So we're about to take a long trip with three little ones. It always bothers me to see their little heads kinked to one side after they fall asleep. So I thought about a pillow but how to keep it from dropping to the floor.
I saw some ideas on the internet and really needed a quick way to do this. So here's what I came up with:
I purchased the pillow & ribbon from Walmart.
Cut the tags off from the pillow.
Cut the ribbon into two 24 inch lengths for each pillow.
Hand sew the ribbon about six inches from each end.
To avoid scratching the little ones, I attached the ribbon to the same seam that the tags were cut off from.
I used a lighter to seal the cut ends of the ribbon.
Voila!
In the Car
Tie the ribbon around the shoulder belt in a bow. It will easily slide up and down.I may have to tie knots instead of bows!
It took about a half hour to make three pillows!
I'll let you know how this works out after we return from our trip!
The pillows didn't work out as planned but the kids still used them just not tied to the seatbelt.
The pillows weren't used again until about six months later. Now they have them tied to the headrest and use them all the time! Go figure!
Just the way they like it!
