Frequently Asked Questions
What is babyWAWL? babyWAWL is a piece of fabric that zips directly into your coat or jacket.  With your baby securely in your favorite front wrap or carrier, babyWAWL allows you to zip your coat around both you and your child, creating a warm space for the two of you.
What types of carriers or wraps does babyWAWL work with? babyWAWL works with all front wraps and carriers. It does not work with back carriers. We are working on a solution for this.
Why is babyWAWL the best solution? Unlike other carrier covers on the market, the babyWAWL lets you use your existing coat or jacket and keeps both you and your baby warm. This simple solution is easy to use, and folds up easily to fit in your diaper bag when not in use.  
Does the babyWAWL come in different sizes? babyWAWL is one size fits most. It is made to fit infants from newborn up to about 30 pounds.
What is the difference between the classic and the deluxe model? The classic model is made of a single layer of wind resistant polartech fleece, while the deluxe model is made of an outer layer of waterproof goretex and an inner lining of 200 weight polartech fleece.
How much does shipping cost? Shipping is $5.
What kind of zipper is in the babyWAWL? babyWAWL is made with a YKK vislon size 5 zipper, with a single zip pull. Most jackets use this type of zipper.
How do I tell what zipper is in my jacket?  Look at the back of the pull tab on the zipper. If it is a YKK brand zipper, the pull tab should say either 5VS or 5 vislon. There may or may not be another letter, such as a T or Q after the VS; this is unimportant in determining if the zipper will fit your coat. Our zippers are guaranteed to fit any zipper that says 5VS with a single pull tab, regardless of the additional letter.  If you have another kind of zipper, please click here.
How do you handle returns? You must first contact us for return authorization, then send the babyWAWL back to us. Once we receive the babyWAWL, we will refund your purchase, minus a $5 shipping charge.
Who are we? babyWAWL was started by 2 moms from Minnesota who wanted to wear their babies all winter long. Not satisfied with other options, they developed the babyWAWL for personal use.  After realizing just how well the extender worked, babyWAWL the company was born to offer you the same product.  We hope you enjoy this product and baby wearing as much as we have!
