Product Information
Full details
The Columbia Helvetia Sherpa Fleece Bunting is designed for parents seeking a soft, insulating layer to keep toddlers comfortable during outdoor excursions in chilly weather. This unisex garment features a high-neck design and plush polyester construction, making it an excellent choice for mid-season warmth; however, it lacks waterproofing, meaning it is best suited for dry, cold days rather than wet or rainy conditions.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this bunting waterproof?
No, this garment is made from sherpa fleece and is designed for warmth rather than weather protection. It is intended for dry, cold conditions.
Can I use this in a car seat?
Yes, but ensure you adjust the harness straps to be snug against your toddler's body, as thick layers can create gaps in safety restraints.
How do I wash the bunting?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.
Are the mittens and feet removable?
They are integrated into the suit and can be folded over or rolled up as needed, but they cannot be detached.
Is this suitable for summer wear?
No, the sherpa fleece is highly insulating and is intended for autumn, winter, or cool spring weather.
Troubleshooting
Press-studs becoming loose or failing to snap
Check for lint or debris caught in the stud mechanism and remove; if they remain loose, avoid pulling on the fabric directly when unfastening.
Fleece losing its original softness
Wash the garment inside out on a delicate cycle without harsh detergents and air dry to restore the loft of the fleece fibres.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the fleece soft, machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the synthetic fibres over time. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry to maintain the integrity of the sherpa texture. The bunting is compatible with standard car seat harnesses, but ensure the straps are tightened securely against the child's chest since the fleece layer is bulky. Always check that the hands and feet are properly folded out before starting an activity to ensure the child has proper grip and mobility.
