Hatch Things Cold Snap Carrier Extender

Many of parenting skills also apply to living in a northern climate. Both require you to be patient (in three months, it will be sunny!) and have a certain tolerance for physical discomfort. Both parenting and winter are subject to the same “we can’t have nice things” mentality: both will make your car untidy, and both require more frequent house-cleaning and laundry. And both are much easier with the right equipment.

The Cold Snap by Hatch Things hits a special sweet spot, easing both parenting and the discomforts of the cold season. Clip the Cold Snap coat extender to any adult coat, and you create a cozy cocoon of warmth that you can share with your baby when he’s riding in any baby carrier on the front of your body. This has a few advantages over your standard baby carrier cover:

• Unlike a baby carrier cover, you can start using the Hatch Things Cold Snap coat extender before your baby is born – you don’t need to buy a different coat to accommodate your baby bump, and you can still wear your favorite coat throughout your pregnancy!
• Mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves because of body heat. Working on the same principle, the Hatch Things Cold Snap puts you and your baby in the same insulated space so you can use your body heat to keep him warm. It’s a snuggly traveling hug!

Like any quality winter coat, the Cold Snap coat extender has a waterproof outer layer to protect you and your child from snow and rain, and an insulated inner layer made with snuggly fleece. A detachable, reversible hood is also included for the baby, and a removable insulation insert for even more protection from the elements.

Your baby’s first winter will be over before you know it – but in the meantime, the Hatch Things Cold Snap will help you ride out the storm.
