FAQs
What age range is this bunting suitable for?
The Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting is available in sizes for infants and toddlers, specifically 3/6 months, 12/18 months, and 18/24 months.
Is the bunting machine washable?
Yes, but it requires specific care due to the down fill and water-resistant fabric. Always check the care tag on the garment for detailed washing and drying instructions, which typically involve gentle cycles and low heat drying with dryer balls.
Can my baby wear this in a car seat?
While warm, bulky outerwear like bunts can sometimes interfere with car seat harness tightness. It is generally recommended to dress your child in thin layers and place the bunting over the car seat straps once your child is securely buckled, or remove it entirely in the car for safety. Always follow your car seat manufacturer's guidelines.
Does it have built-in mittens and booties?
Yes, the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting features fold-over hands and feet, which allow you to easily convert the cuffs into integrated mittens and booties to keep your child's extremities warm.
What is the primary material for insulation?
The bunting uses down fill insulation, known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, providing superior heat retention in cold conditions.
How do the reflective details help?
The reflective detail on the bunting enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making your child more noticeable to others during walks or outdoor activities in dusk or dawn hours, adding a safety benefit.
Troubleshooting
My baby seems too cold in the bunting.
Ensure the correct size is being worn and that your baby has appropriate layers underneath. Check that the hood is up and the fold-over hands and feet are utilized. In extremely cold conditions, an additional blanket over the bunting may be necessary when not in a car seat.
The water resistance doesn't seem effective anymore.
The water-resistant coating can diminish over time or with improper washing. Ensure you are following the care label instructions precisely. If the issue persists after proper cleaning, a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for outdoor gear may help restore repellency (test on an inconspicuous area first).
It's difficult to get my child into the bunting.
Fully unzip the bunting before placing your child inside. Lay the bunting flat, position your child, then guide their arms and legs into the sleeves and leg areas before zipping up. The gusset detail should aid mobility during wear.
The down fill seems clumpy after washing.
This is common for down-filled items. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up the down clumps and restore the loft and insulation evenly throughout the garment. Repeat drying cycles if necessary.

Care Instructions:
Maintaining the bunting's performance is key. Due to the down fill insulation and water-resistant fabric, specific care is required. Generally, down-filled garments often require machine washing on a gentle cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent, and tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft. Always refer to the care tag located inside the garment for the most accurate washing and drying instructions. Promptly address any spills or dirt to prevent staining and maintain the water-resistant coating. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and insulation. Proper care will ensure the bunting remains warm, water-resistant, and comfortable for extended use.
