Re: newbie with questions on repo'ing / Kat, Memory Foam

[Guest guest]

Kat,

Thank you for posting your repo ideas. I'm especially interested in

your use of memory foam as a " headrest " of sorts. Putting the memory

foam between the plastic part of the carseat and the material is an

excellent idea! This is the first time I have heard using it this

way, and I would love to capture this idea in the files section...

I'm sure it would be a big help for our repo'ing members!

In the FILES section, REPOSITIONING HEADQUARTERS folder, there is a

folder for members' photos of repo ideas. Is there any way you could

add a photo of your memory foam in carseat, or memory foam in high

chair ideas? Don't worry about the photo size; will resize it

to the correct size if it's too big at first.

Thank you for any help. You have an excellent repo idea to share!

Hi - I can do that. I don't have a digital camera so I would need

to get the film developed and copied to a cd. (Im so behind the times

technically:). When I get them back I will post them.

KAT,

Thank you so much! I also have two links for foam purchase online,

they are foamorder.com and efoamstore.com . I think memory foam is

available at the foamorder. Feel free to add your foam store link if

you would like to recommend it (LINKS section, REPOSITIONING folder.)

I am looking forward to seeing your photos,

Thanks for the great ideas. I love your idea about the foam in the

carseat, highchair, etc. I will keep everyone posted on our progess.
