How do you ladies in colder climates wear your babies in the winter? I live in KY and have a baby K'tan which I would love to use when my LO gets here but I'm not sure how easy it will be when running errands in the winter.
My LO isn't here yet, but I'm a dog walker and planning on taking him with me on my walks. I was looking at this to help keep him warm while we are outside. It doesn't get super cold here though (50 by day 37 at night).
I've found that wearing her keeps her (and me!) warmer than putting her in the stroller. I'll put her in fleece and a hat (or her hooded fleece bunting) over a onesie or sleeper, and then wrap an oversize coat around both of us. I also have a snap on fleece cover for the Ergo, but haven't needed it yet.
If anything, the challenge is figuring out how to keep her warm without overheating myself!

I just bundle him up and pull the hood over his head on windy days (I have an Ergo). My little guy is a warm thing though, so I had to learn how bundled was too bundled for indoor trips versus outdoor trips.
We live in New England and when DD was little I'd dress her in warm PJs and wear her in a Moby. One of my winter coats has elastic side panels so I could actually stretch the coat enough to zip up over her body once she was in the Moby as well if it was extra windy or cold.
