Guide Review - Peekaru Original Babywearing Vest
The Peekaru Original Babywearing Vest is an invention for parents on
the go. When using my slings, I often found that it was hard to get
the right amount of warmth for baby, since it is difficult to use a
baby coat and a sling at the same time. When I first received the
Peekaru I thought it would be the answer to difficult dilemma. While in
some ways it was, my baby did not love the vest. She liked being cozy
inside of the vest but screamed everytime I put the tight-fitting head
hole over her head. Getting the baby in the sling and then putting the
Peekaru on took a couple of minutes and so I recommend not using this
to walk from the car to the inside of a store, but rather for outings
that involve longer stays outside. I tried the Peekaru with a few
different baby carriers and found that it worked best with Mei Tai and
wrap-style baby carriers. The Peekaru's fabric is very plush and warm.
It is also very stylish. A few people even commented on how cute it
was to have my baby's head poking out like a baby kangaroo!
