This is the first and only babywearing jacket on the market that will truly accommodate all carrying positions possible, even nursing.
What are the differences between the regular kindercoat and the deluxe kindercoat?
- The fleece liner of the deluxe is made with zippers on the back to look like a normal coat when wearing baby in the front or the fleece coat solo. Look at the pictures on the website, you can see there is no opening in the back when the back is closed.
- The deluxe has 8 hoods!! 6 of them are built in for the occasional shower, 2 are extra snap on for the rainy and cold seasons. These hoods keep your neck and head warm. This was requested by European testers.
- You receive an extra mesh bag to keep all your extra parts in, which you will need because this coat has everything.
- The drawstring to adjust the back opening of your baby can be reached on the outside shell now, no need to slightly unzip the coat to get to it.
- The cut is about 3" longer so the coat extends further down the hips
- Heavier duty shell fabric.
- with all the inserts, etc (you don't use them all at once). The deluxe weighs around 5 lb as opposed to 3.5 for the regular kindercoat.
The deluxe, of course, has the hip carry option no other coat on the market has.
This coat has been on the market in Europe for a while and all ring sling users love it. I personally love the colors and the workmanship. Do I own one? Can't decide if I need one since I have so many fond memories of carrying my children in one of the very first black/light blue Kindercoats and a sample red/tan Kindercoat. I do have a sample black deluxe I've used to make sure all parts work together as beautifully as they should. They do and it is cuddly. Maybe I'll try the yellow or red to really raise awareness for babywearing.
Either coat will give you and your baby a protected warm place to bond for a lifetime.
