Sherpa Layer

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

Guaranteed to fit your belly and baby.

The Universal Jacket Extender is a softshell extender that expands the front of your own jacket during pregnancy. While baby-carrying with a soft-structured front-carrier, wrap or sling, the extender expands your jacket around you and your baby, for close comfort and warmth while outdoors.

The unique design slides over and secures onto most brands and sizes of zippers allowing you to switch between jackets with ease. For different-length jackets, simply reposition the extender for ideal coverage or fold the top down on shorter jackets. The Universal Adapter can also be used without the extender during early pregnancy and post-partum where just a few extra inches are needed.

Lack of different sizes

The quality of the product is okay, design, delivery too. However, the wide end is too large for my belly (9th month, so I cannot be bigger) and it is not appropriate. I think MakeMyBellyFit should propose differente sizes like S/M/L so that it can be more elegant.
I shall nevertheless use it when the baby is born to carry her. We'll see how it fits then.

Thank you so much for your honest and thoughtful feedback — we really appreciate it!

You’re absolutely right that everyone’s shape and needs can be a little different, especially toward the end of pregnancy. The reason we designed the Universal Jacket Extender with an adjustable width instead of offering different sizes (S/M/L) is that it’s hard to predict exactly how much room someone will need — and we wanted to make sure one extender could adapt to all stages of pregnancy and babywearing afterward.

If you find the wide end feels a bit too large right now, there are a couple of easy ways to make it more fitted:

1. With the wide end at the bottom, you can use the included elastic “Snaperoo” strap on the lower snaps to bring the bottom in and adjust the fit.

2. Alternatively, you can flip the extender so the wide end is at the top (how the design was used before we updated our zips a few years ago). That lets you use the snaps to tailor the width at the top and create a more elegant, closer fit, while adjusting the bottom as needed. This way you will have the narrower end at the bottom and have much less space compared to the wide end.

We’d be happy to share a few quick photos or tips to show exactly how to do this — just send us a message anytime!

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. Feedback like yours truly helps us keep improving so that our extenders work beautifully for every body and every stage.

Keeps us warm, but adapter shifts

I live in upstate New York, and was due in mid-January. I found that while I was pregnant, the zipper adapter was usually enough to get my existing coats to fit. I really only used the big panel when I needed to wear lots of layers under my coat. But after my baby arrived, I have used the large panel a lot more for wearing my coat over the both of us while taking walks using a front carrier. It seems that my baby prefers being carried in a wrap on my chest over being in a stroller, and this keeps us both toasty. The only thing that could be improved is how the adapter secures to the zipper of the coat. I found that it is pretty secure on one coat that has a thicker plastic zipper, but the adapter pieces want to slide down on another coat that has a thinner style of zipper. I have resorted to using safety pins to keep them up, but even that is sub-optimal.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review—we're so glad to hear the adapter has kept you and your little one toasty on those winter walks in upstate New York! 😊

We totally hear you about the adapter shifting on thinner zippers which is why we include D-rings that can be used to help secure the adapter in place and prevent sliding. They come already attached to the Universal Adapter. Here’s a short video that shows how to use them:
