Good to know:
Kumja may as well be used with short jackets or longer coats. For babywearing, longer jackets are more convenient, since they cover your baby´s legs, too. If your coat´s zipper is shorter than 70 cm, the extender is folded in and snapped in place using the buttons.
Yes. The extension is 70 cm long and starts with your coat´s zipper. Which is not always identical with the bottom edge, but is often slightly further up. Because of this, in most cases, the standard works well. If the zipper is longer than 75/80 cm, a "special adapter" might be better.
Connecting Kumja
The jacket extension is connected to your coat´s zipper.
There are a lot of zipper types. That is why the zip adapter goes between jacket and extender panel. The adapter is the bridge to your coat and is picked to fit your zipper. Usually, you need a specific zip adapter for each coat. You can change the adapter quickly to use different jackets.

There are so many different zipper types! Usually you will need 1 adapter for each jacket. You can use as many jackets as you like. Adapters can be ordered seperately anytime.
By now, there are over 100 different types! However, some adapters are much more common than others. Quite possibly one adapter might work with several jackets. If you can connect 2 or your jackets or coats with each other, on both sides, then you will only need 1 zip adapter.
Adjusting Kumja
The Kumja panel has a standard height and length, it is always 70 cm long (about 27.5 inches) and 25 cm wide (about 9.8 inches). These measurements work well with the huge majority of coat designs. That´s why you don´t need several panels for different jackets.
Instead, you adjust Kumja´s width and height. The cord unit can be put anywhere, it´s attached via velcro. You might also detach it completely.
In general, Kumja does not have to exacty match the length of the zipper.
Use during pregnancy
For maternity use, Kumja may well end 5-10 cm before your jacket´s zipper ends.
Is the panel longer, it is tucked in and fastened with the snap buttons on a convenient height. Before that, put the cord unity further down to make sure it is not placed in the fold.
If the panel is too short, you need a longer "special adapter" or a "coat adapter".
