The Universal Jacket Extender is a softshell extender that expands the front of your own jacket during pregnancy. No need to buy a maternity jacket or borrow a XXL. Feel good in your own jacket! Features: -Includes a Universal Extender (with removable fleece panel) and our patent-pending Universal Adapter. -While baby-carrying with a soft-structured front-carrier, wrap or sling, the extender expands your jacket around you and your baby, for close comfort and warmth while outdoors. -Designed to work with most zips, brands and types of jackets ( rain, parka, long or short) -The unique design slides over and secures onto most brands or sizes of zip. For different length jackets, you simply need to reposition it in order to get your ideal coverage or fold the top down. The Universal Adapter can also be used on its own during early pregnancy and postpartum where just a few extra inches are needed. -Made from 3 layer softshell with a micro-fleece lining ( 98% polyester / 2% spandex). Includes interior membrane waterproof and breathable and outer durable water-repellency coating (DWR) -Not suitable for YKK Metaluxe Zip -Wind, rain and snow resistant, ready for fall, winter and spring -Plastic snaps allow the width of the Extender to be adjusted. -The included elastic strip can be snapped anywhere on the Extender for an even better fit. -Optional snap-on fleece panel for an extra layer of warmth. Simply remove for milder days. -27" (70cm) long, one-size fits most -Designed and lovingly made in Canada -Made from buttery-soft Softshell for comfortable protection against the elements. -Long pull-tabs on all zips to make zipping easier. -Plastic snaps at the top of the BellyFit allow for easier folding down and securing in place on shorter jackets and while baby-carrying -Plastic snap at the bottom of the BellyFit for even better adjustments -Wash Instructions: Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Hang to dry. -Made in Montreal, Canada. Safety: Your baby’s safety is your responsibility. Keep baby’s face visible. Always monitor your baby or child to ensure adequate ventilation and warmth. The Universal Jacket Extender is NOT a baby-carrier. Always follow the safety instructions of your baby-carrier. Improvements for 2020 model : -The Universal system is now fully patented in Canada. -The optional fasteners to prevent movement of the Universal Adapter have been completely redesigned -Much smaller and more functional -Instructions are included on a card inside the box -Now even less rubber inside the Universal Adapter -More flexible and comfortable, especially at the top -The main zips are now VISLON (instead of Reverse Coil). VISLON engages and runs a lot smoother than reverse coil -The removable fleece liner is loftier -The brand label at the bottom of the main extender has been moved inside. This allows both the Universal Adapter and Main Extender to be used “upside down”, with the wide end at the bottom and the narrow part at the top without the label sticking up into the chin or face -A less obvious advantage of using the system upside down is that everything will zip together from the top downwards. With a larger belly it can be difficult to see the bottom of your jacket in order to align the zips. By zipping from the top, the sliders are always visible making it easier to initially zip closed a jacket
