went camping over the weekend and for the first time tried out the ergo on my back.
my shoulders and the sides got really cold, I didn*t feel like I could have a coat on.
when I wear dd on the front I wrap us both in my jacket...

I sling ds on my back over my fleece but haven't yet tried him over a winter coat...

I have one of these. OK, not the most stylish of garments but it does keep us both warm.

there are a few babywearing coats - Suse's Kinder and the MamaCoat off the top of my head

I saw a cheap fleece poncho the other day and wondered about just cutting a slit for ds's head...

You can see babywearing coats here.

Eeep! I think I would need to sell my child to afford the coat Grin.

A decent fleece would be my choice.

MrsBadger · 31/08/2010 10:43

that Hoppediz fleece neckwarmer thing is fab

You can pick them up secondhand on the FSOT board of www.naturalmamas.co.uk too.

I bought a Mamajacket because it looks like a normal, tailored coat if you unzip the insert, so you can use it whether you're carrying the baby or not.
