Lilly Pads
Have you ever had a toddler have a potty accident in their car seat? Have you ever had a child throw up in, spill juice on, or otherwise trash their car seat? Of course you have. And you know what a huge pain in the butt it is to unlatch and remove the car seat, unthread the belts, and take the cover off to wash it. Not to mention reassembling and repositioning the seat when you’re finished! There has to be a good solution, right? Well, there is! The Lilly Pad is a washable, waterproof car seat cover that is easily removable. How cool is that?
Now I have to admit that I, rocket scientist that I am, could not figure out how to put this cover on at first. I tried and tried and but it just didn’t make sense to me. My husband tried and couldn’t figure it out either. Then I watched the installation video on their website and voila, just like that, it clicked. It’s easy as pie if you have a clue what you’re doing. You don’t need to remove the seat from your car. You don’t have to remove the car seat cover or seat belts in order to use this. This waterproof, washable cover easily Velcros on right over the manufacturer’s cover. When your little one spills or otherwise messes up the car seat, just peel the Lilly Pad cover right off and toss it in the washer AND dryer!
Not only is this cover functional and easy to use, but it’s stylish as well. The Lilly Pad comes in a variety of chic and sassy, thick, soft fabrics with coordinating piping.
The Lilly Pad fits many 5 point harness car seats. Check here to see a complete list of car seats that the Lilly Pad cover fits. I really like this cover, however it doesn’t fit car seats with arm rests and my car seats all have arm rests, so…. I’m giving away the sample that Heidi, president of Lilly Pad, sent me to review. It’s “chocolate mint” color. To enter the drawing, leave a comment and check back on the 25th to see who the lucky winner is!
**Note: Please check the safety and warranty information regarding your car seat before installing car seat covers or any other car seat accessory.**
What an AWESOME idea! Thanks for entering me
What a neat idea! Looks really useful…don’t know that I would be able to spend half the cost of a carseat on one, but cool nonetheless. It’d be awesome to win one
I’ve already left a comment…but I had to leave one more. I was shocked by the cost of the Lilly Pad when I clicked on the link to the website - $120 is a bit steep. The cover looks and sounds great and I would love to be the winner…but I am afraid that the cost of this product will keep frugal me from ever buying one.

awesome giveaway!! we would love to win!! thanks
I hate it when there has been an “accident” - usually the accident is stinky and has to be dealt with right away - and then the car seat is out of commission until it’s dry. This is a great idea.
OMG! How cool! The inventor is my hero!!
I NEED one of these! Genius!
With 2 kids still in carseats and one on the way, this is something I could definitely use.
The world needs more smart people like this to think up solutions to the problems that we all encounter! Great idea.
So smart!! Would love to give it a try!
ooooooooo!!!!! You mean I could easily clean off Cheetoes and gooey fruit snacks without having to take a course in Removing the Carseat Cover and actually remembering how to thread the straps back 101?
Wow! That idea is SO awesome! My son is extremely carsick, and we literally have to wash it at least once a week from him throwing up! And it is such a pain to take the carseat apart! This is great!
I like this alot but if it is “vinyl/plastic” wouldn’t liquid just run (possibly) through the “slits” til it hits the carseat?
Oh, this would be sooooo nice to have. My daughter has gotten sick on the last two looong car rides home and it would have been so nice to just pull this off and wash it instead of driving for 6 hours with that smell in the car. *crossing my fingers for a win*
Wow, that’s great. I need two of those for my 2 year old twins.
I have a toddler that regularly gets car sick…I think I’ll be needing one!
These are great! A must have on the shopping list for sure.
I don’t know if I’m too late or not, but I desperately need one of these for my sons carseat. So I thought I’d give it a shot. I just love all the info your page has!!!
I would absolutely love one of these. I have experienced all of these mess situations with the little ones.
that has to be the coolest thing ever. it reminds me of the time warner cable commercials where they invented it first in their minds and anyway totally something I have always wanted and need! Way cool! Thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful but is very dangerous and could prevent a child restraint form doing it’s job to protect a child. Please do research on child restraints no after market product(something bought separate from the seat)before using anything with it. Read the manual it will tell you not to use it. Better yet call the manufacture they will tell you it is not allowed! Your child’s safety is much more important them convenience and looks!
For a Amateur, I am often doing a search online for articles or blog posts that can assist me. Thank you
For seat covers, i prefer to use cotton or polyester woven fabric because i like its feel.`*.
