BabyHawk in wet parking lots~ideas?

[StrongFeather]

So I finally got my much wanted BabyHawk, and it's love love love

I live in the cold snowy wet Northeast and I just had a vision of ruining the ends of the straps of my BabyHawk by having them drag in the snow and slush of parking lots as I try and tie up. Have any of you crafty Mommas come up with a solution to protect the ends from being dragged in the wet?

I hope so!

You can tie it loosely w/o baby inside (while sitting in the car), then put the baby in and retie to tighten. This has worked quite well for me in the rain.

With my wrap, I stand by the car door where the baby is, and drape the ends inside the car as I get it all arranged.
