yeknomyeknom Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Does anyone know of a universal sling cover? I'm finding it a pain to pile layers of clothes on my baby for a short walk around the block. It would we great if there were some kind of fleecy thing I could fit over the sling instead of layers of clothes. Waterproof would be a bonus. Obviously I could use a blanket but its not draft proof and slips off.

etta166 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 A big coat over both of you? That's what I do. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37404-is-there-such-a-thing-as-a-sling-cover/#findComment-687185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaska Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I loved this one:http://www.suseskinder.com/deluxekindercoat.htmYou can cover the baby when you carry on the front as well as the back.You can wear it as waterproof jacket,fleece warmer or together as a winter jacket.We both loved it!

Kaska Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've tried this one as well,but it's not as good as suse's Kinder coat:http://www.b2boutique.co.uk/MaM_Deluxe_Babywearing_Cover.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37404-is-there-such-a-thing-as-a-sling-cover/#findComment-687190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vch Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 If you have an Ergo, there's a fleecy outer layer as well as a rain cover that you can buy. We have both if you'd like to see if it works with your sling? I think there's something similar for the Baby Bjorn as well. Otherwise, I've been coveting a raincape from www.ottolondon.com to keep us both dry on the outside...but not sweltering underneathe!

Otta Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 We had a baby bjorn one which was nice and cosy. It would probably fit over most slings, as it never actually clipped to the sling in any way.

ludoscotts Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Vertbaudet do a great coat that has an extra piece that zips into the front to allow for baby in a sling and then you can remove it if out with pram.

yeknomyeknom Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks everyone! I am really hoping to wear my own existing coat but just pop something cosy over the top of the baby sling. The bjorn one mentioned above would be perfect but it fastens at the top on two little hooks that my sling doesn't have.

yeknomyeknom Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Bloomchen mentioned MaM but I couldn't find it on Amazon. However, Snowboarder, that site you recommended also has the MaM which looks like what I am after.

jonbateson Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I made my own, perhaps you have seen me wandering around ed with lo on my back, it's a blue m&s fleece which I cut a slit across the back and down and inserted two triangle pieces to give extra room for n, does just the job and actually I found I don't need a waterproof thing as I have hands for brolly... Stop me if you see me to take a look, it really was very easy!

Convex Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 hello,just starting to think about one of these for impending arrival.how have you got on with the hoodie cover?ergo do one especially for the ergo (which we have) but would be good to have any feedback from people who have covers?

joshR Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I just bought a little lamb babywearing fleece which is not bad. It is suitable for front or back carries. It has an extra roomy bit for the baby and slit to poke their head out of. It's not the most glamorous item of clothing but I really feel the cold so I need to know I'll be warm... I also use my maternity coat which is a swing style coat and does up around both of us with an extra button I added (my LO is 1 so not tiny anymore!)
