Peekaru Vest ... soft fleece keeps baby cozy & warm in cold weather.
Let a Peekaru Original Fleece Babywearing Vest simplify the process of getting out of the door. Wear your Peekaru over any baby carrier and you're ready for cooler weather. Add a coat and you're ready for winter. Whether it's a crisp fall evening walk, a winter carnival, or a springtime parade, the Peekaru will keep your baby toasty warm without the clutter.
The Peekaru Original Babywearing Vest is made from 85% recycled Malden Mills fleece (www.polartec.com for more information on Malden Mills) which is milled in the USA. 85% recycled means that approximately 25 two liter plastic bottles are used to create each Peekaru Original. Each 150 Peekarus made saves about a barrel of oil and half a ton of toxic air pollution. In addition, Polartec fleece is Oeko-tex Standard 100 "for textile products of all types which pose no risk whatsoever to health." Feel good knowing that while you are holding your baby close, you are also helping the environment.
The Peekaru Original is a fleece babywearing vest that zips over a soft baby carrier to keep you and your child warm. The Peekaru vest works great with all baby carrier types, including Hotslings Baby Slings*, Maya Wrap Ring Slings*, the Ergo Baby Carrier, the Baby Bjorn, Moby Wraps and the Kozy Carrier or BabyHawk Mei Tai.
*Please note that the Peekaru Original should not be worn with a child in the cradle or side laying position, as your babies head needs to be out of the baby head opening in order to insure proper oxygen flow.
A babywearing vest is a warm compliment to any baby carrier.
The Peekaru Original babywearing vest can be worn alone or with a coat over it. You can add your rain coat, winter coat or even another babywearing coat over the Peekaru Original so you always have the perfect amount of warmth for the temperature. We believe the design provides the best compromise of warmth, ease of use, and style. Since the Peekaru Original is a vest, you can wear it in temperatures from 69 to about 40 alone, add a coat and you can wear it throughout winter in even the coldest climates. This versatility isn’t possible if it has sleeves, as the sleeves would make it too warm for spring or fall and too bulky to layer over. The high quality Malden Mills fleece is surprisingly warm. On a warmer mid-winter day in Southern Ontario, we've been out and about in our Peekaru vest with only a hat, mitts, our Peekaru Original and our baby heater (our daughter!), and we were fine to walk for over an hour.
It's EASY to use the Peekaru babywearing vest. With baby secured in your carrier of choice, simply put your head through the Peekaru vest top opening, your right arm through the right side opening, and baby's head through the front opening. Reach around to zip up the zipper, and you're set to go! The baby carrier vest can also be used with most back baby carriers. With baby on your back both safe and cozy, your hands are free to go about your outdoor activities.
Babywearing made warm - you and your baby will love the Peekaru Vest.
With sizes and colors for both women and men, the Peekaru Original is a perfect accessory to your favorite baby carrier. You'll love the style, and your baby will love the comfort.
While the Peekaru Vest is PERFECT for cooler summer nights, or the family that enjoys camping together, limited colours and sizes may be available through the summer months. If you don't see the size or colour you are looking for, please let us know. We're happy to place a special order which can take about 2-3 weeks to arrive. Our largest in-stock selection is carried September through March. Happy Babywearing!

A great addition to a soft carrier Review by Casey
Quality Price Value I used the Peekaru Vest with a Mei Tei carrier. They work great together. The vest is nice and cozy. I like that there aren't any places for cold drafts to get in so fingers and toes are always snug. The vest fits really well and isn't bulky but there's lots of room to fit baby in.
