All mothers want their children to be dressed warmly, 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 - covers the entire body of the child, fastens with a zipper. Very often, detachable mittens and boots come with it.

- envelope-transformer - used for newborn babies. This type of overalls will save on the purchase of several types of outerwear in the first year of a child's life. The top of such a jumpsuit is ordinary - a hood and sleeves, the bottom is made in the form of a bag, on which there are zippers and at the right time turns into full-fledged legs. Such transformer overalls are very popular for children aged 0 to 1.5 years.
- separate jumpsuits - they consist of semi-overalls (pants with straps) and an outer jacket. Often used for children from 2 to 10 years old. More convenient and comfortable, as children move more at this age.
colors
On the market there are children's overalls of various colors. As a rule, darker colors are chosen for boys, brighter colors for girls (pink, red, white, yellow, blue).
But this does not mean that boys can only be seen in classic black and blue colors. For them, too, the choice of colors is huge, for example, purple, bright blue, light 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 a determining factor when choosing a jumpsuit.
Materials and heaters
Insulation for winter overalls is one of the most important components. Manufacturers use two types of insulation: natural (down-feather, wool) and synthetic (synthetic winterizer, tinsulate, holofiber).
- Natural heaters perfectly keep heat in the most severe frosts. The downside is that it takes extra time to properly wash and dry so that the fluff and wool do not roll up and fall off.The cost of such heaters is higher than synthetic ones, therefore they 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 are in no way inferior to natural. They also perfectly retain heat, are practical and comfortable to use. The synthetic winterizer is now made using new technologies, which makes it possible to make it thin, but warm and durable enough. 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, since it will not warm in severe frosts.
Thinsulate is currently considered the most excellent insulation. It is very light and warm, in terms of its properties it is equated to fluff, it keeps its shape perfectly when washed. Thinsulate is suitable for temperatures down to minus 30 degrees. Due to the unique heat-saving properties, the cost of a product with such a heater is rather big. But you can be sure that your child will always be warm, even during long walks.
The holofiber insulation is made using special technologies, it is also very warm, it is used at temperatures up to minus 30 degrees. It is perfectly erased, does not deform, practical and comfortable insulation. A significant plus is that its cost is not high, so clothes with holofiber are in great demand.
In addition to the listed heaters, others are also used, which we will now consider.
fleece
Fleece insulation - synthetic material made of polyester. This is a lightweight and durable material, perfectly keeps heat, does not absorb moisture.Can be used at temperatures down to minus 10-15 degrees.
Down is a natural insulation. It can be goose, swan, eiderdown. The most valuable of them are eiderdown and swan. 100% down insulation perfectly retains heat in the most severe frosts, clothes with such insulation are designed for temperatures up to minus 35 degrees. Down is more wear-resistant than down-feather mixture. At the same time, you need to know that with such a heater, a dense lining fabric with a special impregnation is used, which does not allow air to pass through well, so the clothes breathe poorly.
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 it will be quite cool.
On sheepskin
Sheepskin insulation is a natural and hypoallergenic material. It should be borne in mind that clothes with such a heater are a little heavy, it is not very convenient for a child to move in it. Basically, sheepskin insulation is used in clothes for newborns, when the baby is in a stroller and does not move much. Such a heater is used at temperatures up to minus 25 degrees.
Woolen
Natural wool is a good heat-saving insulation. Often such a heater comes unfastened from the overalls, which allows it to be used as a demi-season option and as insulated. Wool insulation also hinders movement a little, so it is often used in clothes for babies who are in a stroller for the whole walk.
Knitted
Knitted insulation is a soft and durable material. It is mainly made from synthetic, woolen and cotton fibers.Knitted insulation perfectly retains heat, but still better suited for demi-season options than for severe winter frosts.
How to choose
When buying a baby overalls, you need to pay attention to the fabric from which it is made, as well as to the insulation. The right choice of overalls will help keep your child healthy. The outer fabric is usually synthetic, such as nylon, lavsan, cordura, bologna. Modern technologies make it possible to create waterproof and dirt-repellent materials, help to remove moisture from the inside of clothes, and perfectly keep the child warm.
- Nylon does not let cold air through, breathable and durable material.
- Lavsan - the same as nylon, but less wear-resistant. Kurdura is a tough, strong and durable fabric that perfectly repels water and dirt.
- Bologna perfectly protects against water and dirt, but the fabric is poorly breathable, so for active children it is better not to choose this fabric.
When choosing children's overalls, pay attention to the fact that the cuffs on the sleeves and legs should fit well to the child's body, but not squeeze. On the knees, elbows, the presence of additional protection is desirable, which will not only protect your child, but also the overalls. The hood should be tight and deep, as you will wear it over a hat. The child should feel comfortable in overalls.
