The best manufacturers of baby overalls

Overalls for a child should be waterproof, wear-resistant, windproof and at the same time have good dirt-repelling properties. At the same time, it is important that safe and non-toxic materials are used in its production.

It is desirable that the product be lightweight. In a heavy overalls, it will be difficult for a child to move, and he will quickly get tired. In addition, the product should not have hard seams or other elements that can chafe the baby's skin.

All these requirements are met by the products of the companies:

2. Kerry;

Overalls for a child under one year old

For toddlers who have not yet learned to walk, a transformable jumpsuit is an excellent choice. This model can be used both as a jumpsuit and as an envelope. Due to this, the 'winter' child will be able to wear the transformer for two seasons. In the first winter the baby will sleep peacefully in the 'envelope', and in the second winter – explore the world from a stroller or stomp in overalls next to his mother. A child of 6 months can already buy a regular one-piece model.

Feather and down, sheepskin and artificial materials (thinsulate, holofiber, etc.) can be used as insulation for such overalls. When buying, keep in mind that down, feathers and fur can cause allergies, but they warm well. Sheepskin products, although they can withstand temperatures up to -25 degrees, due to their heavy weight, are not suitable for children who have begun to walk.

Artificial heaters do not cause allergic reactions, keep warm well and are lightweight. The best synthetic filler is thinsulate.

Choose clothes for your baby that will ensure healthy and comfortable sleep. Since he will move a little, it is not recommended to choose overalls with a membrane designed for active children.

Do not rush to buy a padded polyester jumpsuit for your baby. With frequent washing, this material rolls up and does not retain heat well. By its properties, it loses to other heaters, and at temperatures below -10 degrees, the child begins to freeze.

Make sure that warm mittens and booties are sewn to the trousers. There should be no protruding elements on the back, otherwise it will affect the development of the baby's spine.

Overalls for a child 1–3 years old

A one-piece jumpsuit with one or two zippers is suitable for a one-year-old baby. At this age, it is not at all necessary that booties be sewn to the legs. Perhaps the baby will already walk quite confidently. Therefore, it is important that the ends of the legs are firmly fixed on the leg, preventing snow and moisture from seeping under the clothes.

At the age of two and three, a baby can buy semi-overalls and a jacket. This will make the child's stay in the room, hospital and transport more comfortable. In addition, such models are much more practical – you can adjust the length of the straps and thereby extend the life of the product.

At the age of 1.5–3 years, children are actively moving, so you can already buy a jumpsuit with a membrane. Such clothes will provide good air circulation, protect from bad weather and wind, will not let the baby sweat and freeze, but only if the baby moves a lot.

Overalls for children over 3 years old

A child over three years old is quite active, he wants and can dress himself, and he no longer needs diapers. Therefore, a one-piece suit will only interfere. At this age, it is better to use semi-overalls or separate overalls, consisting of insulated pants and a jacket.

Using a bib overalls will also make the garment easier to care for. If your baby smears the jacket, you don't have to wash the entire jumpsuit.

For children over three years old, products with insulation made of down-feather, membrane and thinsulate will be a good option.

Tips for choosing

1. When choosing a down / feather jumpsuit, make sure there is more down. The characteristics of the clothes depend on this. For example, with 95% down and 5% feathers, the jumpsuit is highly durable and durable. It has good hygroscopicity (absorbs moisture), is lightweight and provides optimal air circulation. But the more feathers are included in the insulation, the heavier and colder the product will be.

2. Overalls for children who walk on their own should have protective cuffs and cuffs that will prevent snow and moisture from getting inside.

3. Make sure that the sleeves of the jumpsuit or jacket are roomy enough to allow the child to move freely.

4. Pay attention to the lining of the jumpsuit. It can be fleece, cotton and nylon. Nylon allows the skin to 'breathe', it is easy to care for, dries quickly and has high durability. Fleece provides good air circulation, keeps you warm and wicks moisture out of your overalls. Cotton is hypoallergenic and breathable, but it takes a long time to dry and wrinkle after washing.
