JoJo Maman Bebe has been clothing kids in the United Kingdom for 20 years, and the company is hoping to make a splash in the U.S. in 2013. We think New York moms will soon be surfing JoJo Maman Bebe’s website to invest in its Pack-away Waterproof Pixie Jackets. They fold up for storage in a small, zippered bag that’s convenient for the car, stroller, or diaper bag. In sizes 12–18 months to 4–5 years, the polyester jackets come in a range of colors and precious prints — from ditsy to dinosaur (navy blue and bird print are pictured). JoJo Maman Bebe’s matching Pack-away Waterproof Trousers are sold separately, at $32. Now there’s no reason junior can’t enjoy a jump in a few muddy puddles.
