Peekaru baby fleece - Inspired by a Kangaroo
The Peekaru cloak can be placed over the body while carrying your baby in a normal carrier such as the very popular Bjorn baby carrier.
A Kangaroo type pouch in the front of it allows the baby to poke their head out and view the world with the assurance of keeping well insulated. The inventor said she came up with the idea while living through freezing winter weather in Denver, Colorado.
The garment is the brain-child of a mother, Melissa Radcliffe, who grew tired with leaving her coat undone in cold weather while carrying her baby daughter in a sling.
Melissa Radcliffe, 32, has set up her own company which now supplies the Peekaru to 150 shops worldwide as well as selling them online.
The company she has formed, TogetherBe, has also made waterproof and sunproof versions of the Peekaru.
She said: “I got stopped so often by other mothers asking where they could get one that I decided to start making them for real.”
