Buying an extra winterjacket? Uniqlo lightweight jacket

4 replies

Last year, before I got pregnant, I bought a lovely woolen wintercoat. DS is now a few months old and though a healthy baby, he vomits quite often.
We use a pram to take him with us outside but he is getting nearly big enough to fit in the Baby Bjorn sling we bough for him.

It’s getting chilly here, I reckon that in a few weeks I might have to start wearing a winter jacket/coat.
My lovely woolen one is dry cleaning only...
And I am afraid if I start using the Baby Bjorn it will get stained in no time.

I am considering to buy one of Uniqlo’s light weight jackets, they look lovely, are affordable and seem warm and easy washable.

Does anyone have this jacket and can you recommend it? Or any parents with the same issue that can recommend another solution?

I’ve got one. The thinner ones aren’t exceptionally warm but are great when it’s not really freezing and for layering. I wear mine under a wool coat when it’s really cold.

Should have said they do wash well but make sure you dry them out completely

Thank you @LokisLover.
It’s only about 2 months of proper winter here and the baby in the sling in front of me surely will make me feel overheated already 🥵.
Do you put your jacket in the dryer or it won’t survive that?

The label says hand wash only but I put it on a wool wash and it’s still alive. I dried it on the radiator but kept shaking it as it was drying.
