Bokoo Covers Review & Giveaway!

If you’re a parent of children in car seats, the likelihood is pretty good that you’ve had the task of dismantling the car seat to get the cover off and wash it. We’ve had to do it several times and it can be a real pain!

Thanks to its patented design, a Bokoo Cover can be taken off and washed as often as necessary. The ability to remove and clean the cover without disassembling the whole seat or having to uninstall the car seat from the car eliminates misuse and saves you time (and what parent doesn’t want to save time?). Covers are tailored to each car seat manufacturer’s model. One-size-fits-all car seat covers can be too small in some areas and too big in others, creating an inappropriate fit.

Bokoo Covers cares about safety, too – they are the only cover manufacturer on the market that has crash tested its covers on the specific car seat it’s designed for, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration Standard FMVSS 213. All Bokoo Covers have been lab tested and approved for ECO TextileClass 1 for Babies. This, along with the hypoallergenic fabrics, ensures that Bokoo Covers are easy on both your child’s skin and the environment.

• Chicco KeyFit

We got the chance to review a cover for the Britax Marathon car seat that we have. It was SO easy to put the cover on, especially after having experienced the challenge of removing and replacing the Britax cover. It seriously took less than three minutes to put it on! The car seat itself is black, and it can get really hot in the summer – the light colored cover really helps it stay cooler, which J appreciates.

We actually got two covers to review, and although I was really tempted to use both, I thought it would be great to share one with one of y’all in a giveaway! I’m really excited that one of you will get the opportunity to try a cover for yourself (you can also buy one at BokooCovers.com, by the way!)

One lucky reader will win the same style of cover as we received for review, one for the Britax Marathon, in Almond (ARV $69.00). This contest is open to all US and Canadian residents. Entries will be accepted until the end of the day (midnight CST) Tuesday, May 24.

Mandatory Entry: Go visit the “Build Your Own” page on BokooCovers.com and comment below letting me know what color combination you’d pick for your cover!
