Milk Factory SpillProof Blanket

We never leave home without our Milk Factory SpillProof Blanket because it comes in handy in so many ways beyond the perfect picnic. (You can even use it as a toboggan in a pinch.) The water-resistant nylon on one side is the key to its performance against water and snow (picnics after rain showers are possible) and the soft microfleece on the other side is key to its coziness (we often wear ours on the soccer field sidelines as a cape when it is cold). It’s smart and stylish and quickly becomes an indispensable member of any active family. Keep one in the car and always be prepared.
