Formerly the Universal Jacket Extender - same product, renamed online 2026.

Expand the jackets you love. Share them with your belly and baby.

  • Guaranteed to fit your growing belly and baby. Or your money back.
  • Includes: Adapter, Extender, removable fleece layer. 
  • One extender for both maternity and babywearing.
  • The extender works universally with the coats and jackets already in your closet — rain, down, parka, long and short, across brands.
  • Adapter slides onto and works with most zipper types* (coil, metal, moulded plastic (VISLON)) in sizes #3 through #10. 
  • Wind, rain, and snow resistant.
  • Lovingly made in Canada from premium materials.

* Not compatible with rare Metaluxe zips. See tab below.

Your extender works with virtually every coat and jacket zipper — metal, VISLON, coil, reverse coil, taped coil and AquaGuard, in sizes #3 through #10.

There is one exception. Please don't attach the adapter to a Metaluxe zipper — damage may occur.

Spotting a Metaluxe in five seconds: it looks like polished metal and might be silver, black, gold or a darker gunmetal. But it's actually plastic. The teeth are tall and narrow with rounded, pointed tips, like tiny bottles stacked on their sides. True metal teeth are squat rectangles. VISLON teeth are chunky and wider than they are tall. See below for what Metaluxe looks like in RED.

Examples of metaluxe zip compared to compatible coil, metal and standard VISLON zips

They turn up most often on Rudsak and Mackage coats, and on certain O'Neil and Columbia models.

  • Zipper Compatibility: the adapter works with metal, VISLON, coil, reverse coil, taped coil and AquaGuard zips, in sizes #3 through #10. Not compatible with Metaluxe-type zips — how to identify a Metaluxe zipper.
  • Designed to slide onto most zips, brands and types of jackets (rain, down, parka, long and short jackets).
  • VIDEOS:
  • Long pull-tabs and high quality zips make zipping easier.
  • Plastic snaps and elastic strip to control the width for a better fit. Snaps also help with shortening the top on short jackets and while baby-carrying.
  • Snap-on fleece panel for an extra layer of warmth (included). Simply remove for milder days.
  • Adapter includes stop-system to make sure it stays in place on your zip and prevent any sliding.
  • Black, 27" (70cm) long, one-size fits most. 12" (30cm) wide at its widest and tapering down to 7" (17cm) at the base.
  • Adjustable down to 24" (60cm) for shorter jackets and can be repositioned higher up on longer jackets.
  • Made from high quality softshell, polar fleece, zips and proprietary clips.
  • Softshell is 3-layer with a micro-fleece lining (98% polyester, 2% Spandex), waterproof and breathable membrane and outer shell with a PFAS-free durable water-repellency coating (DWR).
  • Wash Instructions: Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Hang to dry. Do not dry clean.
  • Lovingly made in Montreal, Canada. Made in Canada

Your baby’s safety is your responsibility. Always monitor your baby or child to ensure adequate ventilation and warmth. The extender is NOT a baby-carrier. Always follow the safety instructions of your baby-carrier.

Guaranteed to fit your belly and baby.

The Coat & Jacket Extender is a softshell panel that expands the front of your own jacket during pregnancy. While babywearing with a soft-structured carrier, wrap or sling, it expands your jacket around you and your baby for close comfort and warmth outdoors. It's size-adjustable by design — it fits from early pregnancy through babywearing, adjusting as you grow and as your baby grows. Whatever your body does over the coming months, we guarantee the fit.

Works with the coats and jackets you already own.

The adapter slides on with ease and works with most zips and most brands of coats and jackets — winter coats, parkas, softshells, and rain jackets — and works best on zips 26" or longer. For shorter coats, simply fold the top down; on longer jackets, reposition the panel for the coverage you need. The adapter can also be used on its own during early pregnancy and postpartum, when just a few extra inches are all you need.

One thing to check, and we say it upfront: Metaluxe-type zippers, found on Rudsak, Mackage, and some Columbia coats and jackets. Please don't use the extender with these, as damage may occur. Not sure what you have? See what a Metaluxe zipper looks like or send us a photo and we'll check for you. And if you only discover it after buying, no problem — that's a normal return within 30 days, full refund.

For everything else: the 30-Day Satisfaction Promise. If it isn't compatible with your coats and jackets, or just isn't right for you, return it within 30 days for a full refund — free return shipping included.
