FAQs
What age range is the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting for?
This bunting is designed specifically for infants. Please consult the product's sizing chart to find the appropriate size for your baby's age and weight.
Is this bunting suitable for extremely cold weather?
Yes, it is designed for the 'coldest environments' and features 60/40 duck down insulation for superior warmth, making it highly suitable for very cold conditions.
How do I wash and care for this bunting?
Always check the care label inside the garment. Typically, down-filled items require a gentle cycle wash with a specialized down cleaner and tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls to maintain the down's loft and even distribution.
Can my baby wear this bunting in a car seat?
Bulky outerwear like a bunting can sometimes interfere with the proper harnessing of a car seat. For safety, it is generally recommended to remove bulky layers before buckling your child into a car seat. Always refer to your car seat manufacturer's guidelines for safe use with outerwear.
Does it come with separate mittens and booties?
No, the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting features integrated fold-over cuffs that enclose your baby's hands and feet, providing warmth without the need for separate accessories.
Is the bunting fully waterproof?
The bunting features water-resistant fabric, which means it offers protection against light rain, snow, and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may eventually wet through in heavy or prolonged precipitation.
What materials is the bunting made from?
The exterior is made of Polyester, with a microfleece lining in the hood and torso, and it is insulated with 60/40 duck down.
Troubleshooting
Baby seems too warm or uncomfortable in the bunting.
The bunting is designed for very cold conditions. Ensure your baby is not overdressed underneath. If indoors or in milder temperatures, remove the bunting to prevent overheating. Always check for signs like flushed cheeks or sweating.
The bunting feels less fluffy or warm after washing.
This is a common issue with down products if not dried properly. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up down clumps and restore loft. Repeat the drying process if necessary until the down is evenly distributed and fully dry.
Water seems to soak into the fabric rather than bead off.
While the fabric is water resistant, prolonged exposure to heavy moisture can reduce its effectiveness over time. Ensure the garment is cleaned according to instructions. After multiple washes, a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for outdoor gear can be used to restore water resistance, following the product's directions carefully.

Setup
Putting on the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting is straightforward. Unzip the front zipper completely to create a wide opening. Gently slide your baby's legs into the leg openings, then their arms into the sleeves. Once positioned, zip up the bunting, ensuring the fabric doesn't pinch your baby's skin. You can then fold over the integrated cuffs to cover their hands and feet for extra warmth.
Compatibility
This bunting is designed for infants and is unisex, making it suitable for all babies in the appropriate size range. Always refer to the sizing chart to ensure a proper and comfortable fit for your child, as an ill-fitting bunting can be less effective at retaining warmth.
Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance of the down insulation and water-resistant fabric. Always consult the care tag inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, down-filled garments like this bunting require a gentle wash cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent, preferably in a front-loading washing machine. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and prevent clumping. Ensure the bunting is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and preserve the down's loft. Do not iron or bleach.
