Recommend some fleece for me, please?

Ninetales · Nov 15, 2010

I did a search but wasn't able to find a list of suggested brands/places to get a fleece for my baby this winter. I'm looking for a one-piece bunting sort of thing, with feet and the hand coverings that can roll back.

We're taking a family trip up to the Christmas store next week and there is a big outlet mall on the way and I wanted to check some of their stores. I already plan on going to the Columbia store, Old Navy, Carter's, and Gymboree, but are there any other stores, or brands within stores that are good?

Thanks!

I know Columbia and LLBean have some that are safe. I had a Columbia brand one that worked great! I only have a minute, otherwise I'd get links for you. Do you need to get it in a store, or can you order online? Once you know what you're looking for, you can find them on ebay.

I'm the kind of person who prefers to buy things I can see, especially clothing, but I'm not completely opposed to buying online if I can't find something I like in a store.

I ordered these for my twins and i love love love them!!!! Nice and soft and warm, plus if you spen over $49 you get free 2 day shipping!
I got the red one for my DS, but they have a couple options:

One easy thing to do would be just buy some sleepers that fleece and a little bigger than they need. I did this a lot for long trips in the car. I did not want them to be too warm in the car long term.

I'm really looking for more of an outerwear thing. Good idea, though, thanks!

This is exactly what I was going to recomend. My son had one last winter and it was perfect! They should have them in stock in the store too.
You can cover their hands or they can have them out.
They are really cute too. I'll post a pic in a minute, he loved it.

ETA, here he is.

Wow, I like those, and only $15! Too bad I don't have a baby... but I have friends who are having babies - they would make great gifts!

Holly · Nov 16, 2010

Oh, and the bigger baby sizes in the Old navy ones don't have covered feet, I think it's so older kids who walk and wear shoes can still do so. We had the 12-18 month size last year and they didn't have feet, The size before that did.

Yeah i was just reading that, and the columbia bigger sizes do have the feeties. My twins are both wearing the 24 month size and i still put shoes or boots on them. So i guess it's nice to have the option of feet, but i dont think you need them for older ones!

geekKT · Nov 16, 2010

I agree on the Old Navy suit, we have the same one (in brown!). Ours is 18-24m, it doesn't have feet, I believe 9-12m and smaller might. It does still have the covered hands. I just picked up a pair of gray slip on fleece boot things to go with it as DS isn't walking yet anyway.

They had them in blue, gray, and brown and I think they had something in girly colors too. I want to say I also saw a 2 piece version. I've seen them in both the States and Canada this year.

I know I didn't pay much, but I can't remember what it was.

Minnesota · Nov 16, 2010

Do they make the Old Navy suits in adult sizes?

They look so cozy!

Ninetales · Nov 16, 2010

I did see those Old Navy ones, and they are cute. Unfortunately my daughter is a big 'un and would probably need at least the 12-18 month size, unless they run big, and I would like feet.

Luckily this place has Columbia and Old Navy outlets stores so hopefully I can find both and have a choice.

fyrfightermomma · Nov 16, 2010

The normal old Columbia fleece jackets are all me and my kids have worn. Tried and true!

An Aurora · Nov 16, 2010

We have Columbia, REI, and Patagonia suits. We had a couple Gap and Old Navy suits like Holly's last winter when he was small enough for them.

Kobain's Mommy · Nov 16, 2010

That's the Columbia Little Dino bunting. I believe it's in 6m, 12m, and 18m. Possibly 24M as well. When I was at the store they only had the first three sizes and one of each. The sales lady said they were fast sellers.
