Fashionable styles and models
All mothers want their children to be warmly dressed, but at the same time, in accordance with the latest fashion trends. The most popular and fashionable types of winter overalls for children are:
- one-piece jumpsuit - closes the entire body of the child, fastens with a zipper. Very often the kit comes with detachable gloves and boots. This is very convenient, as it allows you to wear ordinary winter boots or boots and mittens. One-piece jumpsuit is very practical and comfortable, used for children from 0 to 2 years.
- transformer envelope - used for newborn babies. This type of jumpsuit will save on the purchase of several types of outerwear in the first year of a child’s life. The top of this overalls is ordinary - the hood and sleeves, the bottom is made in the form of a bag, on which there are zippers and at the right moment turns into full-fledged legs. Such transforming overalls are very popular for children aged 0 to 1.5 years.
- separate coveralls - they consist of semi-overalls (pants with straps) and a top jacket. Often used for children from 2 to 10 years. More convenient and comfortable, since at this age children move more.
Colors
On the market there are children's overalls of various colors. As a rule, for boys choose darker tones, for girls brighter (pink, red, white, yellow, blue).
But this does not mean that boys can only be seen in classic black and blue tones. For them, the same choice of colors is huge, for example, purple, bright blue, blue, beige, brown, multi-colored. The colors are bright and saturated, to please not only children, but also adults. At the same time, color is not the determining factor when choosing a jumpsuit.
Materials and insulation
Insulation for winter overalls is one of the most important components. Manufacturers use two types of insulation: natural (down feather, wool) and synthetic (sintepon, tinsuleyt, holofiber).
- Natural insulation perfectly keep warm in the most severe frosts. The downside is that it takes extra time for proper washing and drying so that the down and wool do not roll, do not pile. The cost of such insulation, higher than synthetic, therefore, are less popular among buyers.
Yes, it is worth remembering that some babies may be allergic to natural materials, but this is a purely individual story.
- Synthetic insulation nothing inferior to natural. They also keep warm, practical and comfortable to use.The synthetic winterizer is now manufactured using new technologies, which allows it to be made thin, but warm enough and durable. It is perfectly erased and does not lose its shape even after several dozen washes.
It should be remembered that the synthetic winterizer is mainly used for demi-season clothing, as it will not warm during severe frosts.
The most excellent insulation is currently considered tinsuleyt. It is very light and warm, its properties equate it to down, it perfectly keeps its shape when it is washed. Thinsulate is suitable for temperature conditions up to minus 30 degrees. Due to the unique heat-saving properties, the cost of the product with such insulation is rather big. But you can be sure that your child will always be warm, even during long walks.
Insulation holofiber is made by special technologies, also very warm, used at temperatures up to minus 30 degrees. It is perfectly erased, not deformed, practical and comfortable insulation. A significant advantage is that its cost is not high, so clothes with holofiber are in great demand.
In addition to the listed heaters, others are used, which we now consider.
Fleece
Fleece insulation is a synthetic material made of polyester. It is lightweight and durable material, excellent heat retention, does not absorb moisture. It can be used at a temperature to minus 10-15 degrees.
Down - natural insulation. It can be goose, swan, eider. The most valuable of them are gagchy and swan. 100% down insulation perfectly retains heat in the most severe frosts, clothing with such insulation is designed for temperatures up to minus 35 degrees. More durable is down than a mixture of down-feather. At the same time, it is necessary to know that with such a heater a dense lining fabric with special impregnation is used, which does not allow air to pass through, so clothes do not breathe.
Knitted
Knitted insulation is a knitted knitted fabric with wool and mohair. It is very light and warm. But such a heater is more suitable for demi-season overalls, since at a temperature of minus 20-30 degrees with such a heater will be pretty cool.
On sheepskin
Insulation on sheepskin is a natural and hypoallergenic material. It should be borne in mind that clothes with such insulation are a bit heavy, it’s not very convenient for a child to move. Mostly insulation on sheepskin used in clothes for newborns, when the baby is in a wheelchair and moves a little. This insulation is used at temperatures up to minus 25 degrees.
Woolen
Natural wool is a good heat-saving insulation. Often this insulation is detachable from the suit, which allows it to be used as a demi-season option and as a warmer. Wool insulation also slightly constrains movement, so it is often used in clothes for toddlers who are in the stroller for the entire walk.
Knitted
Knitted insulation is a soft and durable material. It is mainly made from synthetic, wool and cotton fibers. Knitted insulation retains heat well, but still better suited for season options than for strong winter frosts.
How to choose
When buying baby overalls, you need to pay attention to the fabric from which it is made, as well as to the insulation. The correct choice of jumpsuit will keep your child healthy. The upper fabric is usually synthetic, for example, nylon, lavsan, cordura, bologna. Modern technologies allow you to create waterproof and dirt-repellent materials, help remove moisture from the inside of clothes, perfectly keep the child warm.
- Nylon does not let in cold air, breathable and durable material.
- Lavsan - the same as nylon, but less wear-resistant. Kurdura is a tough, durable and durable fabric that perfectly repels water and dirt.
- Bologna perfectly protects against water and dirt, but poorly breathing fabric, so for active children this fabric is better not to choose.
When choosing children's overalls, pay attention to the fact that the cuffs on the sleeves and trousers should fit well to the child’s body, but not overtighten. The presence of additional protection is desirable on the knees and elbows, which will not only protect your child, but also overalls. The hood should be tight and deep, as you will wear it over the cap. The baby should feel comfortable in the jumpsuit.
