Any parent who’s had to leave the house with their baby knows that even a simple trip to the store can seem like an event. From the baby carrier to the diaper bag and everything in between, it’s hard to get out the door without feeling like a pack mule. You want to be prepared for anything. Now add in rain or snow, and this is where it gets really interesting!
It was this exact problem that caused one mom to invent the rainkie blankie™. “Not surprisingly, the idea came to me during a rainstorm. I was in the grocery store parking lot trying to cart my 4-month-old son in his baby carrier (with a baby blanket for a weather-shield)
Mom-inventor Laura Walker says, “The rainkie blankie™ is truly the ‘elemental’
The gadget-free rainkie blankie™ is just as buttery soft as your baby’s favorite blanket, but the added benefit lies in having one water-repellent side. Even in a downpour, water just beads up and rolls off. The water-repellent side is also soft, since it’s made from a microfiber fabric. This special fabric is also great for blocking wind and snow. The rainkie blankie™ is about the same size and weight as most baby blankets, and it’s available in ten different styles that feature the latest trends in today’s baby gear.
The American-made rainkie blankie™ is available for $42 through http://www.rainkieblankie.com . For each blanket purchased at retail online, $3 will be donated to Emergency Infant Services in Tulsa, OK, near the inventor’s hometown.
