Babywearing is great, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges in varying degrees, particularly in cold weather: making sure the baby stays warm and cozy, making sure you stay warm and cozy, and, you know, looking relatively pulled together. A local mom and business woman is bringing the secret weapon of Eastern European mothers (and mothers-to-be) to NYC and beyond: a functional and stylish three-in-one maternity, babywearing and “civilian” coat that’s ethically manufactured and free of materials derived from animals. Carry on!

"While roaming the isles looking for nothing in particular I spotted booth 135, known asTasku Babi. What attracted me to their booth was a bright red coat with faux fur trim. You’d think the last thing I’d be attracted to mid May would be a winter coat. But it wasn’t an ordinary coat. It was for both mom and baby. Meaning, mom wears it and baby fits right inside, and it zips! That’s right, no more leaving your coat open because if you zip it baby will not fit properly."

It's not easy to keep both you and your baby warm while babywearing in a NYC winter. You either end up wearing them under your unzipped coat leaving you freezing or squeezing the carrier over your winter puffer coat, making everyone uncomfortable. Tasku Babi's new line of babywearing coats aims to solve that. Its tagline is “baby wearing in warmth” and the focus is on quality babywearing coats and other outerwear, as well as maternity clothing.

My mother and niece have thought of stealing this gem. Because it is so warm, especially from the bitter winds we get living by the water, I have been granted dog walking duties….not happy about that.
Other key features and benefits:
-
I’ve washed the coat a few times and have found no issues with the look
-
It wipes clean from drool and tears
-
Two zippers in the front so you can open and reach in to touch your baby
-
If you aren’t wearing a baby great conversations are spurred from the zippers
-
I was actually called a human marsupial at pick up the other day
-
My sneaking little F gets her giggles in trying to unzip me
