What’s included:

This pattern is for a Corner (also called Curved) Suck Pad which covers the straps of your baby carrier. Protecting your straps from baby drool lessens the need for frequent carrier washings and keeps straps from becoming discolored. These pads fit Tula Explore as well as carriers with similar strap size, 5.75-6″ (14.6- 15.3cm) circumference.Blue Jasmine suck pads on the Tula Explore Carrier

These Corner Drool Pads have two sections that fit into and around the corner area. Corner pads are particularly good for those babies that are on the smaller size for their carrier, as that corner region is at prime chewing height, and delicious. Or with forward facing children, in carriers that are designed for that.

The drool pads made of three layers and are reversible. You can pick two great fabrics that match or coordinate with your carrier, or just pick fun fabrics you love! You can also choose to use PUL or other waterproof fabric inside or as the backing for ultimate carrier protection from that super drooler.

You can be as creative with this pattern as you desire: add trim, ruffles, or embroidery. Use your imagination!  It looks great with a matching hood and bib too!
