If you're pregnant or you use a baby carrier or sling then a maternity coat / babywearing jacket is a fantastic investment, allowing you to cover your bump and get out and about with your baby in a sling wherever you want to go, regardless of the weather. You're used to carrying your baby in a sling at home, and outside when the weather is nice. So why let the wind and rain stop you from going outside with your baby in a sling? The answer is, of course, that you don't have to!
A maternity coat or babywearing jacket can be used at any time as a:
It's this functionality that makes them so clever - front carrying, back carrying, newborns and toddlers, maternity, on its own. A babywearing coat will keep you warm and dry regardless. As far as babywearing clothes go, they're such high quality that whichever jacket you choose will be your go-to outdoor jacket for many years, even after you've finished having babies, and long after you've carried them in a sling or carrier (babywearing).
Our award-winning range of coats, jackets and covers offer you the perfect way to get out and about with your baby, whilst staying snug and dry, close and secure, and protected from the rain.
The Mamalila Allrounder Babywearing Softshell Jacket is an absolute favourite and has been for many years (read the reviews!).
The light flexible fabric with its soft fleece inner membrane moves with mum and baby, keeping wind and rain out, while regulating temperatures inside and preventing overheating. The jacket includes a babywearing insert (also known as a babywearing panel) and a pregnancy insert which can be quickly zipped into the jacket allowing it to be easily adapted from a classic form-fitting woman’s jacket into a maternity or babywearing jacket.
The jackets have an eco-friendly waterproof coating that makes raindrops form into pearls which in turn roll off the jacket like water off a duck’s back! Mamalila, for example, only use environmentally friendly FC-free coatings which can be biologically broken down so that no pollutants accumulate in the body or in nature.
All babywearing coats / maternity jackets essentially do the same thing - they have zip in maternity and babywearing panels that either accommodate your growing bump, or that allow you to use the jacket whilst carrying your baby in a baby carrier. There are different types of maternity parka or post-maternity parka available, there are rain jackets - such as the Mamalila Dublin - and puffa style jackets - such as the Mamalila Copenhagen, and wool hooded jackets - such as the Mamalila Vienna.
The leading brand is German manufacturer Mamalila, who not only produce amazing, high quality maternity and babywearing coats in different ranges, their jackets are very eco-friendly. All their jackets use FC-Free coatings, and coats such as the Dublin Jacket are made from recycled nylon and recycled cotton. For the past 3 seasons, their best-selling Allrounder jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester.
They all come in a big range of sizes from XS to XXL so you can find a size that really works for you. Remember, you buy the size of jacket suitable for you - you don't need to size up to account for having your baby in a wrap or sling - the babywearing panel or insert takes care of that.
We also have the amazing babywearing hoodie from Love & Carry.
If you already have a great outdoor coat and don't want to spend on purchasing another, then check out our range of babywearing covers - they're great for quickly covering baby if you get caught in a shower, and they can be used by both parents too.
When you consider that babywearing coats allow you to get out in all weathers, then it's obvious they're a clever purchase.
Coupled with the fact that they can be used on their own without any of the inserts, then they are high quality coats that will last you for many years, wether you're using it as a maternity coat, as a babywearing coat or just on its own as an outdoor jacket. It's this multifunctional approach to the design of the product that makes them so long-lasting and amazing.
The coats, jackets and hoodies we stock are all amazing. If you're looking for quality and longevity along with superb eco credentials, then the range from Mamalila is the obvious winner. We've seen coats come and go. Some were poorly made, some didn't fit well (honestly, we've seen some fit about as well as an unpegged tent).
The real trick with these coats is that you don't just need to use them whilst pregnant or when babywearing - they can be used just as regular coats without using the maternity or pregnancy inserts, so will last for years and years. I've had my Mamalila jacket for 10 years and it's still going strong.
The advantage is that these jackets are high quality, well made, and made from premium materials, so they will last and last, and will be your go-to outdoor jacket for many years.
We've been using and retailing babywearing coats for over a decade. Some brands come and some brands go, but only the best stay.
So you can be confident that if we stock it, it's one of the best brands on the market.
We stock only the best babywearing coat, babywearing jacket and babywearing hoodie brands that have been tried and tested by us and by parents worldwide. When all you want to do is go out for a walk with your baby you need a coat that just works - one you know will keep you warm and dry when you're out and about in all weathers.
Yes! All our babywearing and maternity coats work with any type of carrier or sling, wether you're carrying on your front or back. So it doesn't matter if you have a baby wrap or woven wrap sling, or a buckle carrier like a Boba, Manduca or Ergobaby, the coat will fit over you, your baby and the sling, completely covering it and the straps so that you stay nice and warm, protected and dry.
If you have any questions or are unsure about which coat to choose or what size to select just get in touch - we'll be more than happy to help you. We've been selling babywearing coats to parents worldwide for over a decade; we know them inside out and have more than enough experience to help you choose the best style for you and the best size.
The babywearing coats we sell may seem expensive at first. But when you consider how high quality they are, and that you can use them for years after you've stopped babywearing, then they are definitely worth the investment. Cheaper babywearing coats have come and gone in our store, but they were often of poor quality, poor cut and fit, and just didn't perform as well as the top brands.
