Overalls for children should keep warm well, protect from the weather and not cause allergic reactions. To choose such a product, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the material, insulation, manufacturer and the age of the baby.

The best manufacturers of baby overalls

Overalls for a child should be waterproof, wear-resistant, windproof and at the same time have good dirt-repellent 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 has a small weight. In 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 and other elements that can rub the child’s skin.

All these requirements are met by the products of companies:

1. Reima;
2. Kerry;
3. Lenn;
4. Columbia;
5. Borelli;
6. Wojcik;

Overalls for a child under one year old

For toddlers who have not yet learned to walk, a transforming jumpsuit will be 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 a transformer for two seasons. In the first winter, the baby will sleep peacefully in the “envelope”, and in the second, he will explore the world from the stroller or stomp in overalls next to his mother. A child of 6 months can already buy a regular one-piece model.

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

Artificial heaters do not cause allergic reactions, keep heat well and are light in weight. The best synthetic filler is thinsulate.

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

Do not rush to buy a synthetic winterizer jumpsuit for your baby. With frequent washing, this material rolls down and does not retain heat well. According to 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 not be any protruding elements on the back, otherwise it will affect the development of the baby’s spine.

Overalls for a child 1-3 years

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 are sewn to the legs. Perhaps the baby will already walk quite confidently. Therefore, it is important that the ends of the trousers are tightly fixed on the leg, preventing snow and moisture from seeping under the clothes.

At the age of two and three, the 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 overalls with a membrane. Such clothes will provide good air circulation, protect from bad weather and wind, and prevent the baby from sweating and freezing, 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 jumpsuit will only interfere. At this age, it is better to use semi-overalls or separate overalls, consisting of insulated pants and a jacket.

The use of separate overalls will also facilitate the care of the product. If the baby gets the jacket dirty, you won’t have to wash the whole overalls.

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

Selection Tips

1. When choosing a down / feather jumpsuit, make sure that 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 wear-resistant. It has good hygroscopicity (absorbs moisture), has a low weight 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 lapels and cuffs that will not allow snow and moisture to get inside.
3. Make sure that the sleeves of the jumpsuit or jacket are large 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 unpretentious in care, dries quickly and has high strength. Fleece provides good air circulation, retains heat and removes moisture to the surface of the overalls. Cotton is hypoallergenic and breathable, but it takes a long time to dry and wrinkle after washing.
