Peekaru solves the coat/baby carrier dilemma
Filed under: Babies, Decor, Mommy Musts
Winter is right around the corner (at least I HOPE it is, because I'm ready) which means that it's time to think about how to keep the baby warm when you run to the grocery or take the dog for a walk or stroll over to the coffee shop. I always used a complicated system of wearing my coat and wrapping the baby's carrier in a blanket, or wearing my husband's fleece jacket and zipping it over the baby and the carrier. Neither system worked very well, though; the blanket fell off and the big borrowed jacket never fit properly over the carrier.I wish I'd had a Peekaru carrier cover. Designed like a fleece vest, the Peekaru is specifically sized to cover parent AND baby, each in their own little space. The Peekaru is made of recycled fleece, and comes with a high collar and a long hem, to keep the wind and cold at bay. Wear it for fall on its own, or for winter under a coat. If you're going to be out walking with the baby this winter, this is a great solution to the carrier/coat dilemma.
Available in five colors, in men's and women's sizes small to 3XL, for $79.95.

Jillian said...The Peekaru is great! I just bought one in Lavender, for wearing my daughter out and about during the months when it's cool, but not cold enough for a really warm coat. There are a number of other great jackets, coats and ponchos to wear over yourself and your baby. A few kinds are the Mamajacket, Suse's Kindercoat, Aiska Poncho, and I believe Japanese Weekend makes another kind. There are some really neat coats that actually carry the baby in a back carry also, called an Amautik, which are a traditional coat used by Inuit women.
There are lots of options out there, and some of them are even designed, made and sold by moms. :)

Spring said...This is sweet, but they don't have claim to solving the carrier/coat problem, just reinventing it. Inuit people have been wearing their babies in their amauti coats for a long, long time.
