RooCoat Babywearing & Maternity Coat 2.0 Black with Black Stripes Small

This is a good way to solve the problem of not getting cold while wearing your baby in a carrier. It's basically a hoodie with tailored for mom and baby, therefore, it's best during mildly cold days--mid to low 40s, possibly mid to high 30s. My only and main critique would be that it is hard to zip this thing up with baby inside because of the placement of the zipper. The zipper is located on the side so with baby on and stretching the material it's no easy feat. Even with the string to help you zip up, I found I needed help to get this thing closed without risking breaking the zipper. It probably would have been a little easier if I got the larger size. (I purchased the XL based on the recommendation from the company to choose the size I would for a t-shirt.) When it is on, it does do it's job but is certainly not meant for anything in the 30s or below, or basically whatever you can tolerate with a hoodie and an additional heating source attached to you.

We love this coat. No struggling baby into jackets and sweaters, just into the carrier and snuggled into the coat. It is below 40 here today and I had a thin sweater under it and she and I were both just fine. Probably if it dips below 30 we'll need another layer under, but with a little hat on she snuggled up and fell asleep.You may need a scarf in cooler weather because the skin around your collarbone is exposed but it's an easy thing to cover with a nursing scarf or other light scarf between you and baby.I've gotten compliments from a couple of moms who asked where they could get it, and in the medium both myself and my husband can comfortably wear our baby. I'm 5'7", average build and he's 5'10" on the skinny side.

I get asked all the time about my Roo Coat. I absolutely love it! It's super warm and since baby doesn't need a jacket under it my get-out-of-the-house time has been cut down significantly.Love the deep pockets and length of the coat. The fabric is soft and the cost is easy to put on. The long zip tie is brilliant!I do wish the adult hood was deeper so it would go over a light weight hat or hair in a ponytail. Also, the baby hood is only useful when baby is sleeping, otherwise it falls off or gets in her eyes when she moves her head around.

We took the RooCoat on our recent trip to Kyoto, Japan. We arrived to snowfall and I was worried about keeping my two year old warm because one of our activities involved hiking the 1,000 Torii Gates of Fushimi Inari, which was definitely NOT stroller friendly. Without question, the jacket was warm enough for both of us! He was totally covered and shielded from the cold, while momma was able to hike to the top! On the way down, I made my husband wear him, and I wore the RooCoat as a regular jacket - it's so comfortable! I can't believe I wore him for two years with blankets and extra layers! I wish I had ordered this sooner!

Love this coat for babywearing! High quality construction and zippers, thick sweatshirt material. Easy to zip up with baby on. With another layer underneath it will keep you warm down to about 25F. Not waterproof.I recommend buying a size up so it will allow room for baby to grow and room for warm layers underneath.

I absolutely love this coat. I wear it with my baby on the front. He is 8 months old and very long. His feet stayed covered and his head was nice and warm with the hood attached. As a mom I liked the long pull on the zipper so I can do it myself as well as the pockets on both the front AND the back so I could put my keys and wallet in! Great material and I’d defibitely recommend to another babywearing mom for the winter

I bought this as an early Christmas Present for my wife. She's been wearing our six month old more and more, and the weather in New England is turning cold.She gets plenty of compliments on it when they're out, and both she and my son absolutely love it.The 2XL is a little small on both of us, but not uncomfortably so, due to our statures. (I'm 6'3" 275lbs, she's 5'11 and my father taught me never to ask a woman her weight.)

Was well made and warm. Unfortunately, my daughter in law did not find it convenient to get baby in and zip up. Has one year old and expecting. The one year old felt too confined. I am not sure she gave it a fair try - seems like a great jacket.
