Peekaru Fleece Baby Carrier Cover: Friend or Foe?

My husband is the one who found this interesting Peekaru fleece baby carrier cover at Mom 4 Life a few weeks ago. As a mom who has recently re-joined the Baby Bjorn/Ergo Carrier ranks, I can absolutely see the value of this product on a practical level. It's a pain to tuck a blanket around baby's legs or to have to purchase a specific cover for a specific carrier (and if you're like me, you alternate between carriers to evenly distribute the aches and pains from one's back to one's hips). And in the winter, forget trying to find that maternity coat you've tucked into storage which would surely cover both you and babe.

The Peekaru seems to eliminate this quandry. Simply strap baby to your body, throw on the vest designed to cover you both, and go from there. Eco-friendly? Yes (made of 85% recycled materials). Practical? Absolutely. Pricey? A bit ($75 available here). Fashion forward? Unlikely.....
