Barbara,
Thanks for the tip off Barbara - its Simplicity 4636 that has the car
seat cover pattern. McCalls do a cushion for the car seat, but not the
cover.
Shillingkm,
If your car seat has a removable cover - and I know the Britex ones are
advertised as having removable covers - why not take it off and lay it
out flat and take off a pattern? Even if you can't remove it, I would
imagine that by getting some cheap cloth and laying it over the seat,
tucking it in, and then marking darts & tucks etc. with a pen would
leave you with a reasonable pattern first go.
Can you do me a favour and tell me if the removable cover has any
padding etc with it, or is just plain fabric? I need to get into baby
seats and covers fairly soon.....

the Britax covers are removable & washable. you have to
fiddle a bit getting it off & back on, but it's not that bad.
IMO, the Britax seats have the most padding/are the most
comfortable carseats on the market (in the US anyway).
the seat currently in use is a Graco that i'm sorry i ever
bought. i should have just gotten a bigger Britax when Boo
outgrew the Roundabout... i've added extra padding in the seat
& back, so at least Boo doesn't scream incessantly (well, that
& he's 5 now so his complaints are more wordy), & the cover
isn't very washable despite what the care sheet says (all the
stuffing in the headrest area went into a hard knot first
wash). the entire padding on that seat was 1/4" foam laminated
to the fabric cover. it was like sitting in a lumpy rock
(yeah, i sat in it to see why he was wailing)

Thanks Lee,
I'm an engineer, so fiddling comes naturally! Its easy to see that the
Btitax car seats are very robust compared to some of the others - they
are very pricey here in the UK - I don't know if that is the case
elsewhere. However, I think it is a price worth paying.
Thanks for the warning about the Graco covers
I'm interested in the construction of a cover as someone mentioned to me
this week that they'd had a Britax baby seat and washed the cover so
often it fell to pieces! and that replacement covers are very pricey.
Needless to say I though "I bet I could make a cover". Some nice fabric,
a bit of batting, quilted, shaped to fit, elastic, holes for the
seatbelt, job done!
