Wombat & Co Koala Babywearing Parka
(£269.90, mountainwarehouse.com)
Offering the option to wear baby both on your front and on your back - as well as being suitable for pregnancy and solo use this coat is quite simply amazing. Waterrepellent and water-resistant, it was the most weather-proof on trial, with our tester reporting that it was highly waterproof in downpours, and so (so!) cosy when freezing cold - no surprises there, given that it's been tested to a pretty fresh -20°C! With a simple pull of the two zips, you can easily use it whether baby is facing in or out of the sling, and the puffy, lined hood was a big hit with Mum. We really liked the weight of it, too, being very warm without being too heavy (just 1.1kgs). The parka style is also very popular among our testers - totally wearable for when your baby-carrying days are over, and even for Dad as this coat is unisex. We thoroughly recommend this coat if you're heading out on a slightly longer walk with bubba, as it's cut at the perfect length to keep you warm without obstructing your stride. Sure, it perhaps costs a bit more than many would normally spend on a coat, but we think it's worth it as this coat really could be a staple for many years (and perhaps, more babies) to come.
