Goober Pea Pod (Goober Pea Designs)

The Goober Pea Pod is a size adjustable car seat poncho with detachable hoods, to fit from baby right through toddler sizes.

Style Options:

• Three construction methods: size adjustable with no zipper, size adjustable with zipper, and the no-snap method with zipper (not size adjustable – hood is sewn on).
• Size adjustable options have hoods that snap on and off, in 3 sizes – 0-12m, 2T-3T, and 4T-5T. The neck hole also adjusts in size to make sure all cold air is shut out, using the unique snap method.
• Cape comes in two lengths – regular, which generally works for baby through at least 3 years old and often up through 5 (depending on the child’s height and how much leg coverage you want); and extra tall, which is too long for newly walking toddlers, but works well for ages 2 and up, with better leg coverage for the upper ages.
• Optional bear or cat ears are included for the generously sized 3 piece hood.
• Pattern includes optional snap covers, to wear the cape comfortably with no hood.

Difficulty Level: Confident Beginner. Video clips are included for several steps.
