Why use a cover while babywearing?
Body contact generates warmth
Your baby stays in close contact with the wearer’s body, so take this additional warmth into account when choosing clothing.
It replaces the jacket
The cover acts as your baby’s outer layer. When you enter a warm place, you can remove it without taking your baby out of the carrier.
Practical when you’re out and about
The cover lets you keep using your carrier or wrap when the weather changes, without adding extra bulky accessories.
Protection during breaks too
During an outdoor break, you can keep your baby protected by the cover, while always checking their position, face and airways.
How do you use the BabyMonkey Cover?
Place it over the baby once they are correctly positioned in the carrier or wrap. Watch the videos to see how to fasten it for front or back carrying.
Front carry
The cover attaches to the carrier in just a few steps and protects your baby while keeping the face uncovered.
Back carry
It can also be used when carrying your baby on your back with a carrier suitable for this position.
How should you dress your baby with the Mid-Season Cover?
Think of the cover as your baby’s jacket. Under the carrier, choose clothing suited to the temperature and avoid overly bulky layers so the baby carrier or wrap can be adjusted correctly.
Check the weather
Temperature, wind, humidity and the length of your outing all affect comfort: adjust clothing to the actual conditions of the day.
No jacket under the cover
The cover already acts as the outer layer, so there is generally no need to add a padded jacket between the baby and the wearer.
Take body warmth into account
Your baby is close to the wearer’s body, so factor in this extra warmth when deciding how many layers to use.
Protect the head and feet
On cooler days, pay particular attention to areas that remain more exposed, such as the head and feet.
You can pair the cover with...
Cotton fleece suit
On colder days, you can consider adding a light extra layer, always making sure it does not make the baby too bulky inside the carrier.
Balaclava
Helps protect the head and neck from wind and cool air. It is reversible, with jersey on one side and cotton sherpa fleece on the other.
Tie bonnet
Made from soft cotton jersey, it is designed to protect the head in spring and autumn when temperatures are not too cold.
Booties
They help protect little feet, which can remain more exposed to cool air while babywearing. They are reversible, with jersey and cotton sherpa fleece.
