Bubba's Foot (find them at http://www.bubbasfoot.com.au )
are stocking some awesome cold-weather options. You can find me talking about their soft and snuggly hoodies, but right now let's rave about their waterproof soft shell jacket.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-5Acp3yxr7ZwXtg9SmkJfZiptZBWAMLF82MQktraV06rG3fMJWBIswO3d0m9mhpxkWTKWS0rYFMadyJEDSXPVl5zVZuwKts4xyBePCU7Uv1e8PeuqHWDBzRXtpAvOsfwIlzSayMoei2I/s640/blogger-image-1268968315.jpg)

This works for front, back AND tandem carries (and comes with the baby and toddler insert panels as standard).
I had no trouble fitting Audrey into the toddler insert, and the smaller one was a good size to nestle round my baby demo dolls. I may also have used it solo - sh! Don't tell Audrey! - it's a very nicely fitting jacket just for one, thanks, and if baby is still on their way you can grab a specially shaped maternity insert to accommodate the bump.
It also features a zip in panel to cover the wearer's chest/throat, so you don't need to stuff a scarf in there (because hello potential baby suffocation hazard) and won't die of wind chill!
I particularly love the sleeves - they have a thumbless mitten sewn in to keep hands snuggly - not cold enough for that? you can simply tuck the extra up into the cuff.
Demo tandem!
Zips have some clever construction - like their own stiff baffle over the top - which makes it virtually impossible to get anything caught in the teeth of the zipper. Being highly accident prone, i think this is one of those really minor but awesome extras. The jacket would work perfectly well WITHOUT them, but it's quite a bit nicer with. The back panel closes with press studs and the same baffled zipper.
Panels gather at top and bottom for a very snug and well weatherproofed fit.
As for sizing, these are absolutely true to size - I wear an Australian size 10 and measure about 36-28-34. In a medium soft shell I have room to layer a hoodie or a thick cardi. Feel the need to browse your color options? Head to http://www.bubbasfoot.com.au and watch me on Facebook for a freebie!
