Let's chat about common questions on our pre-order items =).
Babywearing Sweatshirts & Asymmetrical Hoodies
- What's the quality like? Are they warm? These are made in Poland, by people who know what cold weather feels like! The fabric feels so nice in hand, it's soft and comfortable, and it's very warm. The cowl on the Babywearing Sweatshirt is nice and large and can double as a hood. Even though it's a large cowl, it traps warm air well and keeps you comfortable without being stifled. Plus, it's a safe alternative to a scarf with children =).
- What size do I need? These run a bit small. If you plan to wear the sweatshirt/hoodie without babywearing, order your typical size according to the size chart in the description. If wearing with a child, order 1-2 sizes larger, depending on the size and age of your child. Quick tip: put your child in a carrier and have someone help you measure around the 2 of you. That will give you the circumfrence that you need to account for when sizing.
- Can I tandem wear while using this? We wouldn't recommend tandem wearing in this - it may be possible but likely difficult and uncomfortable.
- Can I front carry my child while wearing this? Yes!
- Can I back carry my child while wearing this? Yes!
- Can I use this instead of a baby carrier? No, these are worn over you. They will not hold or support baby like a carrier.
Bear Rompers
- What's the quality like? Are they warm? These are made in Poland, by people who know what cold weather feels like! The fabric feels so nice in hand, it's soft and comfortable, and it's very warm. The inner layer is a fleece material. The cute pockets are perfect for hiding small treasures!
- What size do I need? These tend to run large. They are intended for use while babywearing, so the hips especially are sewn generously. This means you won't have to worry about pant legs riding up! Just plop your cutie in the carrier and away you go =). The number on the sizing is a European size. European children's sizes equal the height of the child in cm. You can compare your child's height in cm to the number on the size to see if the size you're looking at will be the proper sizing.
Babywearing covers
- How do they work? These are new as of last year item, and I love them! We tested these last spring and provided feedback on the fit. The quality is amazing, too - they feel so nice, with a great weight to them. They are super simple to use. Simply place the cover over your baby and buckle! Use the pull string at the bottom to gather the fabric around baby's legs. Use the pull tab at the top to customize the fit around baby's upper body. The adorable bear ears on the hood are an added plus!
- Will they keep us warm? These were very warm in our testing. Great for windy or rainy days. Also great for caregivers who run warm! Keeps baby nice and toasty, but you don't have have to have your own jacket. Can also be used instead of a coat insert for the caregiver
- Can they be used as a carrier? No, these go over you and cannot hold baby as a carrier.
- Can I use this while front carrying? Yes!
- Can I use this while back carrying? Yes!
- Can I use this with a hip carry? It probably wouldn't be comfortable for a hip carry.
Raincoat
- Can they be used as a carrier? No, these go over you and cannot hold baby as a carrier.
- Can I use this while front carrying? Yes!
- Can I use this while back carrying? Yes!
