About this Product
Ponchos aren't just for little kids! We have had numerous requests for ponchos for older kids and teens, too.
This double layer fleece poncho made from plush anti pill fleece is a cozy alternative to a winter coat for kids and adults. Your older child or teen can slip this poncho on over any number of layers of clothes and head out in style!
If you are choosing this poncho for a taller child who is still using a car seat, you can be confident that this style poncho will work with a car seat harness. Our older kids' ponchos include the same two-way zipper that our car seat poncho customers love. Your poncho will also have snaps to create a kind of "sleeve" that is great for keeping the wind from whipping the poncho away from the body.
***Because of the shape of this poncho, hand slits are not a standard feature. They can, however, be added upon your request at no extra charge.***
You may choose your poncho with a regular hood, no hood, or a detachable hood.
As with all of our custom orders, your poncho will be made in our smoke-free, pet-free studio. Our products also meet all CPCS safety requirements for children's wear.
You can browse our other listings on our main shop page.

Meet the Maker
Taking care of our children is a top priority for busy parents and grandparents. I'm here to help you do that with my ponchos that provide a convenient alternative to winter coats for kids in car seats and wheelchairs.
In 2015, my business flourished locally and online when, after traveling with my own granddaughter riding in her car seat without a winter coat, I began selling children's car seat ponchos.
As a grandparent myself, I appreciate the convenience of ponchos with two way zippers and hand slits. In addition to ponchos with hoods, I also offer ponchos without hoods and ponchos with detachable hoods. I have added a listing to my shop for big kids ponchos for older or taller kids who still want to be cozy and warm and wrapped in love!
In 2018, I expanded my business with ponchos for children and adults in wheelchairs. My wheelchair ponchos (available in regular or luxury fleece) make travel easier for people who have trouble getting in and out of a winter coat. This style poncho will work well for older children and adults in general.
I readily admit that it is God who blessed me with my talent for working with patterns and fabrics, and I thank Him daily for the opportunity that He's given me to use my gifts in building this business while helping people care for those they love.
All of my children's items comply with CPSC regulations. All of my items are made in my smoke free, pet free home studio.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Care instructions
Ponchos and hats are machine washable in cold water, gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry. No bleach, no iron.
Sizing details
All product measurements are included in each listing description. When ordering a poncho, the most important measurement is the length. My general advice is this, "When in doubt, size up!"
Custom ponchos cannot be exchanged for a different size! Please message me before ordering (or within 24 hours of placing your order) if you want to discuss poncho sizing.
I'm happy to discuss sizing options with you and will help you decide which size will be best for you. I also have a Facebook group with photo albums of People in Ponchos that many customers find helpful. facebook.com/groups/elainesearer
Should I buy an extra warm poncho?
Our extra warm ponchos have a layer of quilt batting sewn between the two layers of fleece. This extra layer provides a lot of extra warmth without adding a lot of extra bulk.
Extra warm ponchos are quite popular among customers in the northern and western United States and Canada.
Here are some things to consider when choosing regular or extra warm:
~Will your car be warm when you put your child in his/her car seat?
~Do you plan to wear the poncho on your child only in the car or for other outdoor activities?
~Does your child tend to get too warm quickly or does your child mind the cold?
If you have questions other about the extra warm ponchos, I'm happy to help.
What is a custom or personalized order?
A custom order is any item that you customize by choosing the size, fabric, and style. Keep in mind that custom orders are not returnable. Exchanges are allowed only under certain circumstances. For hygiene reasons, we do NOT accept returns on hat orders. If you have questions about your order and whether or not it is eligible for return or exchange, please contact us.
Shop Hours
Our shop is open 24/7 for your shopping convenience. If you have a question, please send a message, and we will answer as soon as possible.
Do you sell products made from licensed fabrics (like Disney, John Deere, etc.)
Unfortunately, because of copyright issues, we don't sell items made with licensed fabrics. This is always confusing for shoppers because many shop owners do sell licensed fabric items. In some instances, online shops have been closed down for copyright infringement, and we've decided not to risk it. We are happy to work with you on an order using any of the fabrics that we have in stock.
Will you add a few inches of length to my car seat poncho?
Because my car seat poncho is circular, I am not able to customize the lengths of the ponchos. If you would like a longer poncho, the best thing to do is to buy a larger size. If you are planning to order a size 6 poncho and would like a longer length, I recommend ordering a junior size poncho (older kid's poncho). These ponchos for older/taller children are shaped differently, but will still work in a car seat. Because of the difference in design, the junior size poncho and wheelchair poncho lengths can be customized.
