Keeping your little one warm while babywearing

How your child views the world is greatly influenced by what YOU show them.  You’re like their tour guide.  Babywearing is an amazing way to show your little one the world, maintain intimacy and closeness AND keep your hands free.  

But what about during those cold winter months, when shared body heat isn’t enough? You can bundle them up in restrictive jackets or clumsy blankets, tuck them away in a stroller, or avoid the outdoors entirely.  The elements shouldn’t restrict you from sharing your daily activities with your little one.

That’s where TogetherBe comes in.  TogetherBe, who brought us the fantasticPeekaru Original fleece vest as well as the super-warm Peekaru Soft Shell, have a new babywearing accessory – the Peekaru Hoodie!  Like other Peekaru products, the Hoodie is designed to fit snugly over your favorite baby carrier.  It keeps you and your little one close and warm, while still allowing baby to experience the sights.  The hoodie can even be used with a back carry.

The Peekaru Hoodie is perfect for spring, fall, and cool summer nights.  When the snow starts falling, you can bundle your coat over top of the hoodies and keep warm in all your outdoor winter activities.

TogetherBe also offers a favorite among babywearers, the FreeHand Mei Tai.  Their mei tai comes in several beautiful prints, including the brand-new Beatri. If you’re still on the fence about owning your own mei tai, TogetherBe just introduced the fantastically-priced solid black and brown FreeHand Mei Tai at an introductory price of $59.95. You can visit their website to view the solid mei tei here!

Best of all, the TogetherBe website provides helpful, step-by-step videos that can show you how to properly wear your mei tai and protect your little one.  Even if you’re a babywearing pro, you can pick up some advanced tips and tricks in the Wearing Instructions section of their website.

And if you’re looking for deals, don’t miss the lavender Peekaru Original (on sale for only $45), and the Peekaru Soft Shell ($100 off) available here:

Big wool poncho over the front wearing carrier works really well.

I made a recent purchase of a Kowalli (http://www.kowalli.com/) which I love. We walk outside everyday for a minimum of 30-45 minutes and in Canada (today -29 C, -20.2 F) keeping warm was a challenge. Now my little one is tucked in, happy and warm.

I'm still looking for a way to back-carry in the MN winter without having to buy a whole new jacket.

I had a wonderful, large purple velvet coat, and a big red cloak, both of which fit over my kids in their carriers.  With this one, I have a wonderful warm wrap that will keep us both snug.
