The Baby Hoodie is so versatile, it can be used in just about anything with a harness

The Morrck Baby Hoodie is more versitile than a Cosytoes or Footmuff as it is not sealed at the bottom allowing for longer babies and children who prefer their feet out.  It has a hood incorporated in the wrap and it can be wrapped right up to the chin or under the arms.

Sizing

Morrck Baby Hoodies are available in three sizes (age ranges are approximate):

Size 1: Birth to 6 months

This will fit any standard infant carseat (Group 0), pushchair, supermarket trolley infant seat or bouncy chair, with a 3 or 5 point safety harness. The newly redesigned 2008 version will also fit Group 0+ carseats.

Size 2: 5 to 18 months

Designed to fit the same seats as size 1, and Group 0+ and 1 car seats (see below).

Size 3: 18 months to 4 years

For use in Group 1 seats and pushchairs.

Size 2 and the new Size 3 Hoodies were redesigned in 2007 to enable their use in the second-stage carseats - also, confusingly, known as Group 1 seats. These seats have a different strap arrangement from the infant seats and buggies. Since the continental-style infant seats now have a similar strap arrangement, the size 1 hoodies were also redesigned in 2009 (older style stock still remains in a very few colourways; see individual items for details of where this applies).
