These maternity winter coats will keep your bump warm–but they’re also perfect for babywearing

A practical bomber-style puffer that will make even non-pregnant friends ask “where’d you get that?”, the Ingrid + Isabel Grow With You Puffer Jacket is almost undetectable as a maternity coat. It’s got side zips which, when unzipped, instantly add eight inches of space to accommodate your growing bump. The elastic hem and high neckline helps keeps the chill out, and we have to admit–we love the fact it’s not just basic black. (Though black is available if that’s more your style!)

Yes, it’s an investment, but consider this popular pick a regular coat with maternity and postpartum upgrades. Dubbed the 3-in-1 Winter Maternity Parka, the two-piece coat is designed to be worn “for bump, for baby, and forever.” Throughout your pregnancy, the empire waist silhouette allows it to zip through every trimester. For babywearing once your little one arrives, zip on the extra panel to create a cozy kangaroo pouch to keep them close and warm. And when that’s over, it’s simply a top-notch jacket! We love the thoughtful details like the removable faux fur trim on the hood, as well as the comfy faux fur lining which makes it warm enough for even the chilliest temps.

This timeless style is great if you want something a little dressier but not too dressy you can’t wear it every day. The A-line cut leaves room for a growing belly without overwhelming your frame with a ton of fabric. Details like generous pockets, toggle buttons and a removable hood are just the icing on the cake! (Note that most reviewers suggest sizing down as it runs quite large.)

Another practical 3-in-1 style we love is the 3-in-1 Maternity Coat from Nom Maternity. Equipped with three removable panels to expand the jacket through pregnancy and babywearing, this one gets high marks for its ability to look great through every single stage. It’s streamlined enough to wear sans bump or baby, so you’ll get plenty of use over the years and it’s a great weight for both fall and winter. (Just add an extra layer for the super cold days!)

As a 20 year Vermonter, I will attest to the fact there is no jacket more versatile than a thin down puffer. It’s warm without being bulky and when you need to peel it off, it can easily be stashed in your bag or backpack. This 3-in-1 style offers all that with the added bonus of an extender panel that accommodates both a bump and babe. The length hits right below your bum for an extra bit of warmth too.

At less than $90 bucks, this cozy Amazon find gets great reviews for its quality and warmth factor. It’s conveniently designed with a removable panel for pregnancy and postpartum. The wind and waterproof shell keeps you dry and comfortable, while the removable vest adds a layer to block the chill. Best of all, you can wear them together or separate to really extend the utility!

There isn’t another option on our list with as much versatility as this stunner from Seraphine. Not only is the down puffer perfectly equipped to keep you and your belly/baby toasty via the zip-in extender, it’s also reversible. With a gorg houndstooth on one side and a traditional navy on the other, it’s basically two coats in one.

If you’d prefer to keep wearing the coats you’ve already got in your closet, the Universal Jacket Extender from MakeMyBellyFit helps you comfortably do just that. The adapter allows it to zip into practically any jacket for both pregnancy and babywearing. It’s also designed with a layer of removable fleece so you can use it in a variety of temps.

With their high-quality construction and customizable fit, the Bridge the Bump Coat Extensions are a worthwhile investment if you live in a cold climate. Attach it to any coat via their adapters and easily swap between partners when sharing the babywearing responsibilities. It’s available in a variety of colors and a longer length as well.
