About the brand: Kumja is a german brand and for years now well-known for its handy and nice pregnancy and babywearing inserts.
Tested product: Kumja for winter, 65% polyester, 35% cotton, filled with polyester. Padded with a high quality isolation, not waterproof or waterrepellent but fairly warm. Can be used with the raincover.
Can be used for: depending on the product for pregnancy and babywearing in front or on the back
Weather suitability: depending on the product for every possible climate (rain, snow, warmer days)
The Kumja fits everyone
Sizing: Fits everyone thanks to a cord that makes it adjustable to belly or baby. This part can also be put wherever you want on your jacket thanks to the velcro strips. There’s an enlargement you can buy additionally as soon as your baby outgrows the size or if needed…
How to order and use it: The challenge is to choose the adapter that will exactly fit into your jacket but there’s a nice tool on the website to help you find out which one is needed and if that won’t work, you still can send in pictures of the jacket or order a selection of might-fit-adapters and just send back what didn’t fit. You can order your individual Kumja and additional coloured side-covers as well as drawstrings.
There’s also a useful 2-piece babywearing dickey in cotton-fleece and other nice accessories available in the shop. Just have a look!
The Kumja as an eye-catcher
Look and feel: Once zipped in and fitted with the drawstrings, the handling of the kumja is as easy as a normal jacket. Just open/close one of the zips. The panel is big enough to fit even larger jackets and can easily be shortened with snaps if needed.
Conclusion: I love the concept of the kumja, fitting into your beloved jackets and even pimp them with the special look. It’s definitely an eye-catcher and great for pregnancy and babywearing without having to spend too much money on it. The fit is great, it’s useful and easy. The only thing tricky is to find the right adapter out of many different ones but the kumja team is very, very helpful in finding out 🙂
