“Don’t knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn’t start a conversation if it didn’t change once in a while.”

I don’t typically review products, but this is a gem. You may have noticed the Sammy-Sack advertisement on the sidebar and thought that it was a paid advertisement, but it is not. I have received no advertising dollars or freebies from the company, and I have nothing to giveaway; it’s a product that makes my life with kids easier so I wanted to share it with you. (Especially if you live on the West Coast and like to stroll with your child/children in all sorts of weather.)
The Sammy Sack is a waterproof blanket with fleece lining that clips on any stroller and keeps your child warm and dry, while staying in place at all times. It has a drawstring pocket across the bottom of the blanket for your child’s feet, and it can easily be rolled up into a small, drawstring bag.
I have used it on a single and double-stroller and have found that it easily clips around both types. The great thing about it is that it eliminates the need for blankets or those cumbersome raincoats that fit over the entire stroller. The girls love them because they’re so cozy, and I love them because they’re wind-resistant, water-proof, and I don’t have to worry about the girls kicking them off. I always keep them in the bottom of the stroller and then I know I’m prepared for any type of weather.
Unfortunately there aren’t any local stores that carry them at the moment. The company is based out of Seattle, so the prices are USD and there is a cost for shipping, but my readers get a 20% discount which pretty much takes care of those costs. I just noticed that there is a web sale on right now for a grey and pink sack for $30.00, which is a fifty-percent discount. If you know me personally and want to check out my Sammy Sacks, just let me know, otherwise, take a look at the website by clicking on the ad on my right sidebar. It’s a perfect time of year to make this type of purchase, and if you do buy one, you’ll definitely get a lot of use out of it! (Make sure you use the discount code if you order one on-line.)
