FAQs
Is this bunting suitable for newborns?
Yes, the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting is designed for infants and comes in various infant sizes. Always refer to the specific size chart to find the best fit for your newborn.
Can my baby wear this in a car seat?
While very warm, it's generally advised *not* to use thick outerwear like buntings *under* car seat harnesses, as it can create slack in the straps and compromise safety. For car seat use, it's safer to buckle your baby directly into the harness and then place the bunting over them like a blanket, or opt for thin layers underneath the harness and use the bunting for outdoor excursions only.
How do I clean the bunting?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent (preferably down-specific). Tumble dry low with tennis balls to restore fluffiness and prevent down clumping. Ensure it's completely dry to avoid mildew. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Does it come with separate mittens or booties?
No, this bunting features convenient fold-over hands and feet, which are integrated cuffs that convert into built-in mittens and booties, eliminating the need for separate accessories.
What kind of temperatures is this bunting good for?
With its 60/40 duck down insulation and water/wind resistant fabric, this bunting is designed for cold to very cold environments, providing substantial warmth and protection in freezing temperatures.
Is the material breathable?
While the bunting is highly insulated for warmth, its primary function is to block cold and wind. It offers less breathability than lighter layers. Always monitor your baby for signs of overheating, especially if transitioning indoors or during less extreme cold.
What does 'gusset for ease of movement' mean?
A gusset is a piece of material sewn into a seam to add breadth or reduce stress. In this bunting, it means extra fabric is strategically placed (often in the crotch or underarms) to allow your baby to stretch, kick, and move more freely without the suit restricting their natural movements or riding up.
Troubleshooting
My baby seems too warm or too cold.
Adjust layers underneath the bunting. For very cold weather, a thin base layer might be needed. If too warm, ensure only a light indoor outfit is worn underneath. Always check the baby's neck or back for temperature, not just hands or feet.
The down insulation feels clumpy after washing.
This is common with down products. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up clumps and redistribute the down evenly. You may need to repeat the drying and fluffing process several times until the down is fully dry and evenly distributed.
The fold-over cuffs feel too tight or too loose.
The cuffs are designed for snugness. If they feel too tight, ensure the overall size of the bunting is appropriate for your baby. If too loose, they may not effectively seal warmth; consider if a smaller size might be needed or if your baby has outgrown the feature.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth for extreme cold
- Water and wind resistant
- Allows for infant's natural movement
- Integrated hand and foot covers
- Added safety with reflective details
- Soft microfleece lining for comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Fitting: Choose the size based on your infant's current length, as the bunting is designed to accommodate growth. Ensure there is enough room for comfortable movement, especially in the legs and arms, but not so much that it causes overheating or restricts safety in car seats.
- Compatibility: While designed for warmth, thick winter buntings like this can interfere with car seat harness effectiveness. It's generally recommended to buckle your child directly into the car seat harness and then place the bunting over the strapped-in child, or use a thin, car seat-approved layer underneath and the bunting for outdoor wear. For strollers, it fits most standard models.
- Care Instructions:
- Zip up all zippers and fasten all closures before washing.
- Machine wash cold separately on a gentle cycle.
- Use down-specific detergent, if available, or a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener.
- Tumble dry low with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and prevent clumping.
- Ensure the bunting is completely dry to prevent mildew. This may take several drying cycles, removing and fluffing between each.
- Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
