I'm always on the lookout for cool, innovative products, things that make life a little easier, and of course a little more fashionable. My Monkey Moo is a specialty company that sells comfortable and stylish stroller pads and blankets.
Pros: Here's a dilemma it seems I always face with the stroller and blankets: It's cold outside but warm enough to want to go walking. I need to put a blanket around Rowan who is usually the one in the stroller at this point. After a minute, even though 
I have bundled him well, the blanket comes loose and starts dragging on the ground. It gets dirty, stuck in the wheels, and I end up having to stop and fix it every few minutes. My Monkey Moo stroller blankets are 26" wide by 32" long, which is the perfect size for covering up your little one without having worry about it dragging. Everytime we've used My Monkey Moo, we've had no problems with the blanket falling off or dragging and Rowan has stayed toasty warm.
We received the stroller pad and set in the pattern At the Zoo. The pattern is absolutely adorable, and I had the hardest time choosing as they have so may fashionable and fun patterns. The nice part about these sets is that they are reversible, allowing you to have two different looks. Immediately upon receiving the set, I was impressed by the great quality. The material is
thick and both items are extremely well made. The backing is a VERY soft swirl chenille. It's so soft that I wanted to curl up with it! Doesn't Rowan look so warm? And YES, that is SNOW in APRIL.
I think the stroller pad is such a great idea. It protects the fabric on your stroller, gives a versatile look, and makes your little one that much more comfortable. I a decided to give the stroller pad a test run myself and what better way to do that than to sit on it. :) I know it sounds funny, but I need to give an honest review, right? It actually does a great job padding, even if it isn't intended for moms who weigh more than 20 lbs. Rowan looked super comfortable when sitting on his stroller pad. These pads have slots/holes where you can put the buckles and harness through to help it adapt to almost any stroller. And if this set isn't versatile enough, the stroller pad can double as a changing pad! These wash up really nicely, and I can see that our set is going to last for a long time.
My Monkey Moo is decidated to style and comfort 365 days a year. What a great attitude for a company to have, and I adore the name. Fun and catchy, right?
Cons: I feel like there isn't quite enough information about the company on the site and would love to learn more. As a consumer, I'd like to know how the company was inspired, the mind behind it. I also wish these were available in more stores as I notice there aren't any retailers in Utah where I'm at.
The Bottom Line: Great innovative baby gear, perfect for your strollers.
Price: $64 for blanket or pad $130 for Sets. (Please note this company is out of Canada, and all prices are figured in Canadian dollars. I assume if you place an order, the exchange will be figured in, so actual price in US dollars is less depending on exchange.)

I LOVE this product! I love that it doesn't drag. That is my biggest problem! And especially living in Rexburg-you have to put blankets over the carseat for a very long time! I love the Eiffel Tower and Growing Up.
And I'm a follower! That's 3 entries for me! Woohoo!
I love the Who's New pattern. This is a great product. I cant stand using blantets on the stroller, they fall off and I end up rolling over them!

They have a lot of cute patterns. But if I win, I will choose the Eiffel Tower with Black Chenille back. Love that one!
I love the spring sparrow pattern, very cute! I agree with Stacey, that it keeps from dragging! I would love to win, I'm a follower!!
Socialite Stripe
with Cream Plush back is my favorite. Like you I hate it when the blankets drag on the floor. I also like the idea of it being used as a changing pad and being machine washable.

Wow a stroller and pad set. I love the Socialite Stripe with Cream Plush back. I love the fact that the blankets won't drag, they are reversable and it fits a 5 point harness.

This is awesome because blankets do drag and fall off and you constantly have to put them back on but with this you don't have to worry. I really like the rainforest, eiffel tower and day at the zoo, as you can see I like their patterns.
I also follow you.
I also blogged about this giveaway!
I LOVE the Eiffel Tower set, and what a clever idea for our long, Wisconsin winters!
love that it's 2-sided and love this pattern: Who's New
I like that it's reversible!
The patterns are too cute but I really like Socialite Stripe, Dick and Jane Classic and the Grow Up.
Cute! Cute! Cute!
Socialite Stripe, Dick and Jane Classic or Grow Up.
Entry #2 for me...
I like the rain forest print! I added you to my reader and twitted about it so is that 4 entries?
My 2 favorites are rainforest and spring sparrow. Those fabrics are gorgeous! After 2 kids, our stroller is getting a little banged up and stained (even after washing), so I like that this can help re-vamp it and make it look good again!

I LOVe that the blanket is MADE for this and matches the pad!
I'd go with the Groovy Baby pattern since I'm pregnant with a girl but have a toddler boy!
Thanks for the chance!
I love the Groovy Baby pattern.
I love the socialite stripe pattern!

I really like the Rainforest
with Cream Plush back set. I also enjoy the fact that it is set and that it is the perfect sized blanket! Great for carseats and not dragging off a stroller.
I love these products. I hate when the blanket falls off and I run over it too!! My stroller could use a new pad as teh fabric on my stroller is faded now. These are great to use for strollers that still work perfectly, jut need to be a little more stylish! I like teh At The Zoo or Groovy Baby pattern!

I love the rain forest pattern, its just lovely. My fave feature is comfort. My stroller is pretty utilitarian and isn't very cozy. I would love to win this set to make rides smoother for my little one.
thanks so much
Do we post a 2nd post with our fave pattern? If so again my fave is the rainforest.
Thanks
I'm a subscriber too :)
What a great concept! The Growing Up pattern is darling and it would save me from ruining lots of blankets!
These are awesome! I'd pick Socialite Stripe.
I think I would pick socialite stripe - seems gender neutral enough. I love that it doesn't drag the ground but that my baby will still be warm enough on cooler spring and fall nights. Thanks for the entry
I love this product.... the pattern i like is groovy baby---
what I like is the idea of having a washable pad under the little one and the NO dragging is a big plus too!!!

Like you, I love the "At the Zoo" and would love to have a blanket that didn't drag on the ground like mine tend to do in this cool but muddy spring weather.
I really like the Socialite Stripe. It will keep my stroller easy to clean and very cute, especially with the matching blanket!
I love the Urban Damask. How cute!

I love the Rainforest print. I think the best feature is the holes to put the harness through, keeping the pad in place and baby safe!

I love all the patterns, but the socialite strip is one of my fav. The fact the the stroller blankets are reversible is great!
These are sooo cute! I totally need one for those cold days! I love a lot of their patterns, but I'd go with Groovy so it could work for my daughter, and future kids.
I like Groovy Entry #2

I love the growing up print. So cute!
My favorite thing about these (besides they are so cute!) is that the stroller blanket is so long. It looks like it would fit for a long time. Love it!

I love that this would be so much easier to use than blankets, I hate that they always seem to slide down and get run over by the stroller. Plus, this is machine washable, which is a necessity. My favorite pattern is Rainforest but I think that Who's New would probably match our stroller best.
Thanks!

At the zoo is my favorite pattern overall.
I love that the blankets are reversible so you can change it up whenever u feel like it.
