Product Description
Universal Jacket Extender on a longer parka.
Designed to fit your belly and baby.
The unique patented design slides over and secures onto most brands and sizes of zippers allowing you to switch between jackets with ease. For different-length jackets, simply reposition the extender for ideal coverage or fold the top down on shorter jackets. The Universal Adapter can also be used without the extender during early pregnancy and post-partum where just a few extra inches are needed.
Expand the jackets you love. Share them with your belly and baby.
The Universal Jacket Extender is the original softshell extender that expands the front of your own jacket during pregnancy. 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.
Patented universal zip adapter. Adjustable softshell extender. Removable fleece layer. For maternity and babywearing. Wind, rain, and snow resistant. Lovingly made in Canada from premium materials.

Works well, easy to adjust sizing to work for you.
I purchased this to use as a coat extender during my winter late pregnancy (7 months in Nov, due in late Jan). I liked the idea of a coat extender rather than a maternity coat because I could keep using my old winter coat. I also liked this product because I will be able to wear the baby under my coat after it is born to keep it warm (not having to lug around a giant car seat around). I saw this as about the same price investment as a maternity coat would cost. So far (during pregnancy), I’ve liked this product!The coat extender comes with two adapters, which slide on over the zippers (see the first picture). It also includes some clips to keep the adapter pieces from sliding around, which I read can be an issue in a review on another website. With the clips, I haven’t had this problem. I placed the clips between two adapter bits near the top of the zipper. I can fit into my coat with just the adapter pieces (second picture) so am wearing it like that now. I have also gone a few days with wearing the coat extender insert (third picture). I wouldn’t call it the most attractive piece of clothing I own. There is a fleece liner that snaps into the coat extender piece for extra warmth, which I’ve appreciated on some of the cold(ish) days we’ve had recently (about 10-20 degrees F, -12 to -6 degrees C). The zipper was a little difficult to zip at first, mostly because you have to really push the two pieces together before you start zipping.The jacket extender is about the same length as my coat, but I find it more comfortable to wear the top folded over (see the fourth pic) as the material bunches up a bit around the neck (fifth pic). It is really easy to keep the top folded because the top snaps pair with the lower snaps. I’m anticipating that after the baby is born, it will be easy to either wear the baby with the extender zipped in, or to remove the extender and wear with the adapter pieces. I also like that my spouse may be able to wear the baby if we slide the adapter pieces on over his coat, though that may take more effort with an infant than we are willing to make! I’m looking forward to seeing how this coat extender will work for my changing family.

Doesnât (exactly) work with North Face. Good in theory.
It says âworks with mostâ but doesnât tell you which brands âmostâ is. For my North Face, I had to cut my own jacket at the top of the zipper to feed the adjuster â it wouldnât work otherwise. I also couldnât insert 2 of the D clips to hold the adjuster in place, as the teeth on North Face are bigger than it seems they made this adjuster for. I was able to fit one, after a lot of hassle.In addition, flipped to âmaternityâ-style (narrow on top) with the adjuster panels, the spacing between my coat at the neck is huge â and the material is a lot thinner than a winter coat, so my neckâs pretty much fully exposed to the elements without a big scarf. Itâd be nice if this came with a few narrower panel options to graduate between instead of having to jump from small (adjuster panels only) to xl (the insert) â especially for how much this costs. The little elastic with buttons only works for one part of the panel, not the full length. Iâm glad to have something that allows me to wear my winter coat as I grow, but for the money, this should be a lot more than what it is.

Great product
Got this to be able to wear my baby at the Christmas Markets in Germany. It fits my winter coat and keeps my baby warm and dry. Love it

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MAJOR BRANDS
Doesnât work with Columbia or 32 degrees. Have yet to try my north face items because Iâm afraid to ruin them by forcing the zipper.Save your money, this is not a universal product.

Exactly what we needed
40 weeks pregnant in a midwest December. This is exactly what was needed. Warm, installs well, and future use to flip it upside down for baby wearing.

Perfect for pregnancy!
This jacket extender is so sleek and looks perfect with my black rain jacket. I was nervous to buy it because of some bad reviews, but Iâm glad I bought it anyway! Maybe people didnât read the instructions? It is very adjustable and allows for either the wider part at the bottom of jacket if youâre pregnant or you can turn it upside down if you are carrying a baby in the front and have the wide part at the top. It also allows you to put the top of extender at whatever height you want, so for cold weather I put mine all the way up. It does take some time to fit onto the jacket so youâll need to decide in advance what jacket you are wearing or youâll need multiples of these. It was pretty expensive, but I figured why buy a whole new pregnancy rain jacket when I can attach this to multiple jackets for the same price and have all my jackets be pregnancy adaptable. Obviously, it looks best with black since itâs black. Iâm so happy with it, I also bought one for my sister!

Just as advertised!Very fast shipping got on next day delivery which was a life saver.The quality is fantastic and will keep me warm and comfortable! Very easy to assemble to your jacket. Very adjustable to the size you want and many way to achieve the adjustment. My jacket has an inner and outer zip up and works best on the inner zip up personally, however it fit perfectly on the longer outer zip up as well (it was a bit big for me, but it will work when I baby wear). Love that it comes with a built in fleece lining and a removable fleece linking on top for extra warmth. Also can be used on a manâs jacket for baby wearing!Instructions were pretty easy to follow and gives good tips how to make it fit your jacket.The one thing is you will have to take off zippers from one side of your jacket, easy to take off and on.I still had an extra piece that I didnât need to assemble but most jackets probably will. On the adapter piece you will have to take off the fasteners first when putting on the adapter and then reapply the fasteners to secure the adapter to your jacket and keep it in place but very easy to do!Amazing product worth the money!Very spacious and adjustable to be bigger or smaller. My jacket is a medium, I am in my third trimester 163 pounds (original weight is 130), I am 5â2. If that helps anyone.

Due in February, this was such a relief to have in cold Canadian winters. During the second trimester I used only just the side strips that attach to the jacket, and that made my coat more comfortable. But after the third trimester or so, I needed to use the full panel. At first the full panel seemed too large, but the snaps at the top allow you to make it narrower. A small downside is that my neck was more exposed to the cold, but I just used a scarf to make up for it. It fits on both my rain coat and winter coat.I was concerned that this product is a bit expensive, but after using it, it is worth every penny. It makes things SO much more comfortable.

Did what it intended but one of the hooks broke off some of the zipper grooves so I couldnât use it anymore. The item itself held up quite well. Little expensive to buy both this product and a replacement coat though.

Just so pleased with how well this fits my jacket and the options for expanding the size depending on how far along you are. Wasn’t sure about it at first with the price but it’s worth the purchase!
