Products used by parents need to be adaptable and in Japan, The North Face is introducing an attachable nuptse blanket for its iconic windbreakers. This jacket helps to make child care more comfortable in the cold weather, helping to save parents from gaping jackets and cold torsos.
With 11 different pockets, the attachable nuptse blanket is a convenient solution for quickly accessing the essentials on the go, without having to struggle with additional bags. Additionally, the baby cover has the potential to be used as a diaper-changing sheet or a soft surface to place young once upon, when needed.
Also on offer from The North Face in Japan is a baby sling bag addition, that combines the features of a shoulder bag and a baby carrier in one simple design.
