The JJ Cole Essentials blanket is the perfect go-anywhere blanket.  It stays in my car, so it's always available for those muddy spring soccer games or trips to the park, beach, or zoo.  If you've ever had to put a wet sandy towel into your vehicle, (and then have to vacuum it later) you'll LOVE this blanket. It's no big deal to lay this on wet grass or sand - just shake it off before rolling it up and putting it away.  Even mud wipes off easily with baby wipes or whatever you have handy.  When it's rolled up, you can throw it over your shoulder and still have your hands free to carry your chairs, your toddler, and your cooler.  The blanket is padded and soft, so it's perfect for occasions where you have to sit on concrete for long periods of time.  It's water and stain resistant, and heavy enough that it doesn't blow away or get caught up in feet, elbows and knees. These are machine washable, in a large capacity washing machine. Karin and I both have one of these, and we love them so much we thought we'd share!
