Winter suit for a boy
Features and Benefits
It is generally accepted that overalls are only clothes for the smallest, but this is not so. Currently, there are a large number of models on the market for older children, and the advantages of winter overalls are obvious.
Winter overalls protect well from blowing and moisture, do not expose the lower back during the child's physical activity.
Comfortable for both children and parents. This is perhaps the main advantage - it is much easier to put the whole set on a writhing child at once.
How to choose
Each age category has its own special requirements.
For those born at the beginning of winter, there is a separate model - an overalls-envelope, equipped with only sleeves, without legs.
An intermediate option between the "baby" and "adult" model is a transforming overalls. From the bag with the help of special snakes, it turns into a full-fledged jumpsuit. This is an economical option. It is well suited for children aged from six months to 8 months.
When choosing this and traditional model, you should already pay attention to the proportions of the overalls when buttoned up - there must be a place for a diaper if you use them.
For the two variants of overalls considered, it is desirable to have not one, but two snakes, this is much more convenient.
Classic overalls are better suited for older children - when the child is already actively moving outside the stroller.
For babies, choose clothes exactly in size, if the manufacturer has a stock, or a size larger - no more! It’s definitely enough for the winter, and in a year the baby can grow up a lot.
For children over two years old, it is already a little easier to plan whether clothes will fit next year, but you should not get carried away - the main thing is comfort.
It will not be superfluous to clarify "what is it made of?" - materials determine the strength of overalls, its environmental friendliness and safety. Be sure to check the seams - in no case should they rub.

Stylish images
Each person has their own style. Someone likes bright and catchy colors, someone likes practical and sporty things. It is generally accepted that the child does not yet have his own style, but this is not so. There are active and mobile children, there are little dreamers, young inventors and adventurers. The boys here are not far behind the girls and often set their own requirements for clothing. So why not? Let's see what looks we can offer our son in winter.
Young adventurer. This is how you can characterize the Luno suit from Reimatec®. In this and in the snow, and in the mud, and from the hill. For an active, restless child - a great option. A bright geometric pattern will appeal to a mischievous and cheerful kid. The black fabric at the bottom of the pants looks not only elegant, but also protects against mishaps during numerous falls.
Pay attention also to the overalls "Flight" from JICCO by OLDOS. There is a pattern on the jumpsuit, but it is not flashy, one might say gentle and naive. "Little artist" - such an epithet can be chosen for this image.Practical and not easily soiled, it perfectly complements the image of a child with a twist, with a sly riddle.
The last look that I want to note is the Lassie overalls. Strict colors, graceful lines, sporty style. These are clothes for the future athlete, active and purposeful.
Choose something special for your child, emphasizing his personality. And do not forget - children grow up, they have their own taste, perhaps your baby would already like to create his own image.
