No experience with Covers4Tots, but I love Cathy at SewCuteBoutique! She is a doll and makes a superior quality cover!! (and I've had covers from about 5 different companies!)

HTH!

the next question though is what fabric to choose!

I don't know about covers4tots, but I can tell you how terrific Cathy at sewcuteboutique is to work with and what a fabulous cover she makes! She responded to my initial email during a hurricane and apologized for not being able to send me pictures since she was working from her battery pack! I love both fabrics, both would work well in hiding any dirt,etc... If you can't make up your mind, chose the one that would go better w/ your child's wardrobe. Afterall they will be sitting in it! LOL My girlfriend, who I had given a cover to, once actually had an older gentleman say to her "Oh, so now we have to decorate the cart too" She tried to educate him and explained to him why you would want to use a cart cover. I thought she should have told him, "thanks for noticing and by next week I'll have music just like a parade float!"

Cathy's website is www.sewcuteboutique.com If you don't see the fabric you want on the website you can e-mail her and ask. She's great to work with and will get back to you asap.

I vote for Cathy at sewcuteboutique! I love my cart cover that she made me. As far as fabric goes I would go with the red one since it seems to be more fun. If you are looking for something more posh though I'd go with the brown and pink fabric.

Add me to the Cathy Sewcuteboutique fanclub. I just used mine the other day for the first time and my little 6 mos old LOVED it. I was nervous because I had heard some people say that their little ones didn't like being in the shopping cart, even with a cover. But clearly, they didn't have one of Cathy's covers. I LOVE IT! It's so soft and cushy and the pillow is a great touch. DS sits up really well, but the first time I used the cover, he had just woken up (damn those big boy car seats...i miss my infant seat) and was groggy and leaning to one side. So I put the pillow on the side that he was leaning on and he used it as an armrest.

Another fan of Cathy! I think she's wonderful to work with, fast, knowledgeable & her prices are very reasonable. I found my own fabric at JoAnn's & sent it to her, she discounts her price if you do it that way too. I also was dealing with her during last year's hurricane season & she never missed a beat! Two thumbs up for her!

i decided to order from sewcute, i went with the red,pink floral (kaufman pink flower power) since i decided the brown/pink would have too much light colors for sitting in highchairs with - so that will be the top, she is providing the solid black for the underside and instead of a matching pillow i am sending enough fabric to make the pillow out of a black fabric with white pola dots (michael miller oh la dot)

will post once i get it!

I didn't look at any other responses, but I just got my custom from Cathy at Sew Cute Boutique, and she does magnificent work. I ordered fabric that I liked had it sent to her and she was so kind and helpful. Her customer service was OUTSTANDING. I highly recommend getting one from her.

I love my cover from Cathy. I sent her my own fabric and she did a wonderful job with it! She was really quick too.

You won't be disappointed with quality of her work.

I want to jump on the sewcuteboutique bandwagon, too! I just got my cover from Cathy this week. My son looks so happy and comfortable in his seat. At first I was pretty indecisive about buying any cover but seeing him in it makes me know I made the right decision. I would not hesitate to order from her again.
