How did we choose our 8 of the Best?
When testing and selecting the best maternity coats, we considered comfort, value, longevity and practicality. Our Best lists are compiled by qualified and experienced parenting journalists. They rely on a number of sources, including our independent reviews, testing undertaken during the MadeForMums Awards, and feedback from our home testing panel and Top Testers Club. Each year thousands of products are put through their paces by hundreds of parents across the country on behalf of MadeForMums, to ensure we’re bringing you honest and true reviews and recommendations. Our list is not an ordered ranking from 1-10, instead it is a carefully selected group of tried-and-tested products, each of which we believe is best for a different situation or requirement. We don't just tell you what is best, we help you discover what is best for your family.
Here are 8 of the best maternity winter coats for 2025
1. Wombat Wallaby 3-in-1 Babywearing Coat, £169.90
Best maternity coat for babywearing after birth
Sizes: XS (6), S (8), M (10), L (12), XL (14), XXL (16), XXXL (18) | Colours: Black, Forest Green, Navy, Grey
Pros:
- Great longevity
- Good in bad weather
- Colour options
Cons:
- Expensive
This Wombat jacket is a clever 3-in-1 coat that not only works as a maternity coat, but is also compatible to fit over any baby carrier. Not only that, but it's also suitable to wear whether you're babywearing on your front or back, due to the multi-purpose centre panel.
It has been tested in temperatures up to -15°C and is water-repellent as well as wind resistant so should protect you from the elements at all stages of your pregnancy and beyond. And best of all, you can use it as a normal jacket for as long as you want after pregnancy or babywearing simply by removing the panel completely.
I was really impressed with the quality of the fabric and how soft the interior lining is. This coat is so warm and such a perfect winter coat. I know when baby arrives they will be just as snug as I am in this coat. It's so comfortable and really easy to move in, which I am pleasantly surprised with as usually with most waterproof coats they can feel quite stiff but the Wallaby coat does not feel like that at all

3. New Look Maternity Navy Hooded Longline Puffer Jacket, £39.99 £20
Best budget maternity coat
Sizes: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 | Colours: Khaki, Navy
Pros:
- Great value
- Lightweight
- Good for cold weather
Cons:
- Not versatile
If you're looking for a low cost puffer jacket that'll keep you warm in colder weather then this pick from New Look is a great option.
The dark, neutral colours will go with a variety of fits, though they are a little uninspiring. It is bump accommodating and includes a hooded neckline with slip closure.
Available from: New Look
4. Mamalila Softshell Babywearing Jacket Allrounder, £179.95 £169.95
Best maternity coat for all seasons
Sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL | Colours: Black, Navy, Berry, Teal, Mustard
Pros:
- Versatile
- Lots of colour options
- Good size range
Cons:
- Expensive
This Mamalila is great for all seasons. It's lightweight yet waterproof and windproof and also breathable for wearing in slightly warmer weather. It comes with two inserts – one for wearing during pregnancy to extend the jacket over your bump, and one that can be used to zip in either the front or back of the jacket for babywearing.
Much like all the other coats, this will still be useful after pregnancy. The coat is perfect to whip on with leggings and keeps you warm during school runs or doing errands. You can also store your handheld things in the generously sized zip pockets.
Another great thing is it comes in a wide variety of sizes but Mamalila do recommend sizing up, especially if you anticipate layering it with a jumper or if you're tall for instance.
I was initially knocked off my feet at the price, however I most definitely got my money's worth out of it and I'd recommend it to anyone. Not only is it adjustable to fit throughout pregnancy, but the extra panel means when you have your child in a carrier, they are protected from the elements too. It has a little hood for them as well when it starts to spit which is a super handy feature. It's been going strong for 3 years now and still looks almost brand new! Very comfortable to wear and also looks great too.

5. George Maternity Khaki Toggle Waist Longline Padded Coat, £42
Best longline maternity coat
Sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL | Colours: Khaki
Pros:
- Long-lasting
- Great value
- Toggle waist
Cons:
- Limited colours
If you are looking for a slightly less expensive option this George Asda maternity coat is great. Not only is it good value, but it comes in a wide range of sizes too.
The coat has a removable panel that allows your coat to grow with your bump and can also be worn after pregnancy with the baby in a carrier and the panel protecting them from the weather.
The only reason I eventually passed it on to someone else is because I thought we were done having babies! As soon as I fell pregnant again, I knew I'd be buying another one from George. It doesn't disappoint!

6. Seraphine Wool Blend Black Wrap Maternity Coat, £199 £95
Best luxury maternity coat
Sizes: 6-20 | Colours: Black
Pros:
- Timeless
- Stylish
- Luxury look
Cons:
- Expensive
If you want to look more formal, then this gorgeous maternity coat is for you. It is made from a luxurious wool blend and woven through with subtle silver threads.
With its long-line silhouette you'll look stylish and sophisticated. The belted waistline makes this coat extremely flattering on your growing bump.
Unsurprisingly, this is slightly more pricey than others on our list, and it is dry clean only, but keep it clean and safely stored and this coat could be an investment to be worn for many years.

7. Bump It Up Maternity Curve Zip Side Puffer Coat, £69.99
Best plus size maternity coat
Sizes: 14, 16, 18, 20, 22-24, 26-28, 30-32 | Colours: Grey
Pros:
- Great for plus sizes
- Stylish
Cons:
- Expensive
- Only one colour option
Finding a plus size maternity coat can be a challenge. This one from Yours comes in a large variety of sizes and is warm and stylish. It adjusts with your growing bump through a toggle at the (high) waist.
It's made from a durable woven fabric, so should last you for years after the pregnancy too. The hood with faux-fur trim will keep you extra toasty when out-and-about. It's easy to do up with zip and popper fastenings to keep out the draught. Unfortunately however, there aren't many colour options to choose from: this coat only comes in a stylish grey.
Available from: Yours
8. JoJo Maman Bebe 2-in-1 Quilted Maternity Puffer Coat, £89.50 £45
Best for a super-soft feel
Sizes: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 | Colours: Khaki
Pros:
- Supersoft feel
- Detachable centre panel
- Practical and stylish
Cons:
- Expensive
Quilted coats are both practical and timeless, and this JoJo Maman Bebe maternity version is no exception.
It has a removable centre panel that will help the coat adjust to your changing shape as your bump grows.
This maternity winter coat is quilted and has a supersoft finish for a cosy feel when worn. Although it's quite expensive it can be seen as an investment buy since it can be worn through all stages of pregnancy and beyond. You can also machine wash this coat at 30 degrees.
I bought a Jojo Maman Bebe hooded coat with an extra attachment that makes it wider with a zipped panel. I also bought an additional panel that was for babywearing. I can wear the coat normally, pregnant and whilst baby wearing which is handy.

What styles of maternity coats are there?
- Extendable inserts – this option of maternity coat comes with extendable, zip inserts to be added as your bump grows. This a great option as they can be easily removed again after the baby is born. That gives the style longevity: this coat doesn't just have to be a maternity coat.
- Tie waist – a tie waist coat is another great way to adjust as your bump grows. They're super easy to adjust, simply tie the coat looser, and higher up, as your bump grows. Again, this coat can be worn as a normal coat after pregnancy too.
- Oversized – rather than actually adjusting, you can get a maternity coat that is just an oversized style. This look is very stylish at the moment, however, it does mean after pregnancy the coat may be a little too oversized, but that does depend on the coat you choose.
- Baby-wearing features – similar to the extendable inserts, it's possible to purchase maternity coats that have baby carrying and baby nursing extendable features for once the baby is born.
Things to consider when buying a maternity coat
- Baby's due date – It's important to consider when your baby is due before buying a maternity coat. If your baby is due in the summer you may not need one as much as someone who's due in the winter months or early spring, meaning their bump is going to be biggest in the winter. It's also important to consider, based on your baby's due date, whether you need a thick maternity coat or just a light one. There's nothing worse than being hot and pregnant, so think about the months you'll be wearing this coat the most.
- Climate/weather – Similar to the above point, you need to think about the climate and weather where you live, and also the fact that during pregnancy many women often feel quite overheated. It may be more appropriate to buy a lighter or thinner coat and layer up, rather than investing in a big warm winter coat.
- Formality – Give some thought as to where you're going to be wearing this coat. If you're still going into work, you may need a more formal coat and that needs to be taken into consideration when deciding which maternity coat to purchase.
- Any added features – You also need to give some thought as to what added features, if any you want. For example, maybe you want the extendable inserts, the baby carrying extension or even something as simple as big spacious pockets to carry everything you need.
