You finally figured out how to wear a baby carrier — now imagine buckling and tying it over a big winter parka. And the thought of hustling around town with your jacket hanging open sends chills down your spine. Back to square one.
P-sling New York’s Mama Down Coat actually incorporates your gear to keep both Mom and baby warm. Designed to be worn with a baby carrier, the lightweight hooded down coat (with a removable faux fur hood) comes with a zippered panel to make extra space for an infant. When you’re flying solo, detach the panel and wear it as a regular coat.
It’s what you’ll need to weather the storm.
Available at 69 West Houston St., 212-253-0630, pslingnewyork.com.
There are actually quite a few options for babywearing outerwear! Several that even allow you to wear your baby on your back later and you can also use as a pregnancy coat.
