When the autumn winds start to blow and the air becomes crisp, the same question arises for many new parents: how do you keep yourself and your baby warm â without giving up cozy walks and carrying moments outdoors?
The good thing is that it actually doesn't take much. With layering, the right materials, and a winter cover for the baby carrier, you can continue carrying throughout the season â both comfortably and safely.
How do I dress the child in the baby carrier?
To optimize warmth and comfort during autumn walks, it's good to dress the child in layers:
- Base layer: Start with a soft and breathable base layer, preferably made of wool or cotton, to keep the child dry and warm.
- Mid layer: A lighter mid layer, like a thin fleece, provides extra warmth without being too thick.
- Outer layer: With Ergobaby's weather protection, you don't need to dress your child in a thick outer garment, which makes your child sit comfortably in the baby carrier. Choose a lighter outer garment and focus on keeping the feet and head warm.
Remember feet and warmth
It's important to keep the child's extremities, like feet and head, warm during walks. Consider:
- Warm socks and booties: Small feet can easily get cold, so choose thicker socks and booties for extra protection.
- Hat: A hat that covers the ears is a must on cooler days to protect against wind and cold.
An outer, protective layer
A weather cover protects against wind and moisture and acts as an extra blanket for the baby. Preferably choose one with fleece lining, which retains warmth but still breathes. This way, the child won't get cold â but also not sweaty. The parent stays warm with fleece-lined pockets and can easily regulate the temperature by opening the jacket a bit or adding a scarf.
And when the rain or mist sneaks in? A water-repellent cover allows you to continue walking, regardless of the weather. There's something special about hearing the rain patter while the child sleeps close by, safe and warm.
Carrying in the autumn is not just about getting out â it's about closeness, movement, and those small moments of stillness in the midst of everyday life. So dress in layers, attach the weather cover, and head out â together you create warmth, even when it's cold outside.
