I recently stumbled upon this unique vest in Parenting magazine and just had to read more about it. The Peekaru Original Vest is a new way to “wear” your baby. Different from a baby sling, the Peekaroo  is a fleece vest that fits over any traditional baby sling or wrap and provides extra warmth for both you and your baby. It is supposed to fit comfortably over all brands of baby carriers. It’s made of 85% recycled Polartec fleece, with each Peekaru vest saving 25 plastic bottles from heading to the landfill. It is also Okeo-tex Standard 100, so you know it’s eco-friendly. The vest comes in black, blue, gray, green, or lavender, and in sizes appropriate for mommies and daddies. This seems like a must-have winter accessory to me, if you have a baby that you routinely carry in a sling. It costs $79.95 at TogetherBe.com.

Because I purchased a Mei Tei baby carrier for my coming babe, I’ve been longing to get an accessory like the Peekaru Original for those chilly fall or cold winter days. There are tons of colors to choose from for this cozy baby carrier cover but I especially favour brown. I love that the Peekaru Original features a layer of fleece that wraps right around mama and baby, keeping the warmth in and the cuddles cozy. I also appreciate that it fits over pretty much any carrier one might have, making it extremely versatile. Made from 85% recycled fleece, it’s environmentally friendly, something modern moms value. With a pretty steep price tag of $79.95, it still gets the thumbs up for versatility, attractiveness, and usefulness. From togetherbe.com, the Peekaru Original is made with baby wearing moms and dads in mind.
