Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The jumpsuit runs true to size through the body. If your child is between sizes or on the taller side, we'd suggest sizing up - the length can be tricky if they've had a growth spurt. The hood is roomy and works over most hairstyles.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes - it's designed to go on over a t-shirt and leggings or trackies, which is handy if the classroom or playground is cold. The back zipper makes it easy to get on and off without a battle.

Care: Spot clean or gentle cold hand wash. Hang to dry - keep away from heat to protect the dimensional hood elements and wire antennae.
