Winter overalls for boys
Not so long ago, our grandmothers did not even hear about winter overalls. Regardless of the gender of the baby, they wrapped him in a Mouton fur coat, put on felt boots, put him in a sled and were sure that the child was warm and comfortable. Yes, the child was warm. But is it convenient? Modern manufacturers of children's outerwear have come up with a different option.
Features and Benefits
The jumpsuit confidently sits on the pedestal of popular outerwear for children from birth to 12 years old. What is the secret?
Advantages of winter overalls:
- excellent thermal qualities - modern insulation and fabrics allow the skin to breathe, while creating the optimal temperature inside;
- ease;
- multifunctionality - today's overalls have the ability to change and change their functions depending on the age of the child;
- protection from cold and wind of the whole body - the jumpsuit envelops the arms and legs of the baby with its warmth, which allows you not to wear extra clothes;
- aesthetics - overalls from leading brands look very attractive. The child in the models looks stylish and fashionable.
Speaking of overalls for boys and girls, there are some features here.The main one is color. Overalls for boys are distinguished by a darker color scheme, for girls - light and bright. Overalls for boys have a simpler cut, while models for girls are equipped with straps, belts and drawstrings at the waist. Overalls for boys from 3 years old are sewn with a wider shoulder line.
At what temperature to wear
No matter how good the jumpsuit is, it should be worn in the correct temperature regime, because a sweaty child has every chance of catching a cold.
From 0 -2 degrees, experts advise dressing the child in winter overalls. This rule is especially true for newborns sleeping during a walk. They do not move, which means they should be dressed warmer. But you should not get carried away with turning the child "into cabbage." T-shirt, socks and slip - all you need in this temperature for a newborn. It is recommended to take a blanket or blanket with you and cover the child with it if necessary.
Upon reaching 1 year, babies begin to actively move. And if the filler layer in winter overalls reaches 330 grams, do not rush to dress him in this warm and even hot attire at zero temperature. The same rule applies to sheepskin overalls.
If the temperature outside the window has dropped to -5 and below, outerwear manufacturers boldly advise putting winter clothes on the baby. Most winter overalls are designed for temperatures down to -30 degrees. It is unlikely that any mother will agree to a walk in the cold with a baby, but still the cases are different and sometimes you have to urgently go out on business. If this is your case, experts advise putting thermal underwear and fleece overalls on the baby under the jumpsuit.
Varieties
There are various models of overalls, each of which has its fans.
Semi-overalls
Winter bib pants for a boy are warm pants with a breast on the straps. This model is supposed to be worn with a winter jacket.
Manufacturers start a dimensional grid of semi-overalls for children from 2 years old. This option is especially convenient if the jacket from the previous season is still on time, but the trousers are too small.
The straps are fixed, allowing you to lengthen them depending on the height of the child. Legs are also able to be shorter or longer, thanks to the folds. A zipper runs along the central part from the breast to the groin, allowing the child to independently put on and take off the semi-overalls. At the bottom of the legs there is an elastic band and knitted cuffs that prevent the ingress of snow.
Transformers for newborns
Transformers for newborns today are a very popular product, because they perform several functions at once:
- sleeping bag;
- jumpsuit with closed legs, allowing not to wear shoes;
- jumpsuit with open legs for older children with the ability to wear warm shoes.
Such versatility is achieved due to the large number of zippers. Passing along each leg, from below and along the inguinal zone, they allow you to change the complete set of the overalls.
There are also options for transformers, where a jacket is fastened to the semi-overalls with a zipper, which, if necessary, can be easily removed, leaving the breast covered with warm pants. This option is especially relevant when visiting the clinic.
For newborns, in most cases, natural sheepskin acts as a heater.
fused
One-piece jumpsuit is popular for children from birth to 12 years.It is a single design, has sleeves and trousers. What are its benefits?
Firstly, parents are sure that the back of the baby is securely closed. Secondly, it is faster to put on. Thirdly, its cost is more democratic, because multifunctionality is not inherent in it.
One-piece jumpsuit for newborns and babies up to a year has two parallel zippers and a central insert. This configuration allows you to conveniently fasten the overalls without fear of pinching the collections, and in a dream, the baby in such clothes puts his head on a soft warm fabric, and not on a zipper.
Overalls for older children have a central zipper that reaches to the groin. The fastener is closed by a protective fabric level, for additional protection against wind and cold.
Separated
The separate overalls incorporates semi-overalls and a jacket. The dimensional grid of such models begins for babies over 1 year old.
Benefits of a one-piece jumpsuit:
- stylish and attractive look;
- the possibility of replacing one of the elements of the suit, which has become small;
- additional breast protection thanks to two layers of clothing;
- the ability to take off the jacket, leaving warm pants;
- the possibility of self-dressing.
This option is in a higher price category, however, many mothers notice its greater practicality.
Fashionable styles and models
Fashion trends have penetrated into children's clothing. Today, winter overalls have become not only warm, but also very attractive products.
For newborns
A fashionable model for newborns are transforming overalls. They are complemented by fur booties and mittens. The jumpsuit must have a hood.
Another interesting style was a separate jumpsuit for newborns.However, instead of the trousers of the semi-overalls, here you can see the bag on the straps. There is a zipper at the bottom of the jacket, allowing you to create a single jumpsuit.
For 6 months, 1, 2, 3 and 4 years
Children from 6 months are characterized by activity, therefore overalls are selected taking into account the characteristics of this age.
One-piece overalls for boys with two zippers reaching the middle of the leg are popular. Such a detail helps mothers to dress a child with ease, because it is still difficult for children of 6 months to stick their legs into their trousers.
Separate overalls from this age begin to conquer convenience. Many mothers note that in this stylish model it is more convenient for the baby to sit, because nothing pulls the neck.
Overalls from 1 to 4 years old are popular in models with a drawstring at the waist. This provides the model with a neat look and is more convenient for the active activity of the baby.
For 6 years old
For preschool boys, overalls have a stylish design. So, the most popular model is two-color overalls. Their upper part has an interesting print, the lower part has a plain bottom.
Separate jumpsuits also remain popular. However, the central part of the semi-overalls in them can already be made with the absence of a breast and a central zipper.
colors
It just so happened that winter overalls for newborns are popular in blue and pink shades. Blue, of course, is inherent in overalls for boys.
A stylish color for winter this season is blue and gray. Color combinations may vary. For example, a blue jacket with a gray dungaree or a one-piece overall with a blue top and gray bottom.
For lovers of bright colors, designers produce yellow with dark blue and green with black overalls.
Often in overalls interesting prints are used. The most popular for boys are:
- scandinavian print;
- geometric drawings;
- cartoon characters.
Heaters
An important aspect in choosing a jumpsuit is its filler.
On sheepskin
Sheepskin overalls are very popular among children under one year old. This is due to the hypoallergenic materials and unsurpassed thermal qualities.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for an older baby to walk in overalls with full sheepskin trim.
Down
An alternative to heavy sheepskin is light, almost weightless down. It has warmth and durability. However, fluff can cause allergies.
Synthetic
Synthetic fillers are a frequent choice of parents of children after a year. They possess:
- ease;
- good thermal qualities;
- subtlety.
The last point concerns such new heaters as thermofit, thinsulate or shelter.
The synthetic winterizer is of lower quality today. Products from it quickly lose their presentable appearance and are not intended for harsh winters.
How to choose
The first important step in choosing a good winter overall for a boy is its size. Modern manufacturers often make it double, for example, size 86-92, suitable for a child with a height of 86 cm and a height of 92. However, in the first case, the overalls will be with some margin and you will have to hem the sleeves and trousers, while in the second, the overalls will sit more neat, but the next season may be small.
The layer of winter insulation varies from 220 grams to 330 grams. Needless to say, this is a very significant difference. If your child is active, you should not choose the warmest option, because the baby can be hot.If the kid likes to sled, he is unsteady on his feet, choose a warmer model.
For a child who dresses independently, the presence of convenient zippers and buttons is a guarantee of convenience. They should hold tight, but open when children's hands are pressed. The fitting option is especially important here.
The top fabric for overalls also needs attention. For a baby walking on the playground, only water-repellent fabric is suitable. To date, the membrane has become the choice of many mothers.
Details such as cuffs and elasticated sleeves and legs can prevent snow from getting in. Look at the little things, because they help keep your child warm and healthy.
And, of course, listen to your baby. Children from the age of two already have their own taste preferences in terms of colors and rejoice uncontrollably when their parents give them the right to choose.
