FAQs
Is the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please use cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low with dryer balls to maintain the down's loft. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
What age group is this bunting designed for?
This bunting is designed for infants. Specific sizing will correspond to different infant age ranges; please refer to the product's sizing chart for the best fit for your baby.
Can I use this bunting in a car seat?
It is generally not recommended to use this bulky bunting in a car seat as it can prevent the car seat harness from fitting snugly against your infant, compromising safety. For car seat travel, dress your baby in thin layers and use blankets or a car seat-approved cover over the harness instead.
How warm is this bunting?
The bunting features 60/40 duck down insulation, along with water and wind-resistant fabric and a microfleece lining, making it exceptionally warm and suitable for very cold environments.
Does the bunting have a hood?
Yes, the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting features a microfleece-lined hood for added warmth and protection for your infant's head.
Are there reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the bunting includes reflective details to enhance visibility and safety, particularly in low-light conditions during outdoor use.
What material is the exterior made of?
The exterior of the bunting is made from polyester, which provides its water and wind-resistant properties.
Troubleshooting
Infant seems too hot or too cold while wearing the bunting.
Adjust the layers your infant is wearing underneath the bunting. In extremely cold conditions, an additional thin layer might be needed. If your baby seems too warm (e.g., sweaty neck), reduce the layers underneath. Always check their temperature regularly.
Down insulation appears flat or clumpy after washing.
This is a common issue with down products. To restore loft, tumble dry the bunting on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or specialized dryer balls. The balls will help break up the clumps of down and redistribute it evenly as it dries.
Bunting feels too bulky for use in a car seat.
For car seat safety, avoid bulky outerwear that prevents the harness from being snugly fitted against your infant's body. If the bunting is too bulky, dress your baby in thin, warm layers, buckle them securely, and then place a blanket or a car seat-approved cover *over* the buckled harness instead of wearing the bunting inside the car seat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Dressing Your Infant
- Prepare: Lay the bunting flat and unzipped.
- Insert Legs: Gently guide your infant's legs into the leg openings.

Compatibility
This bunting is designed for infants and is ideal for cold-weather conditions. It works well with most strollers and baby carriers.
> Important Car Seat Note: Due to the loftiness of the down insulation, using this bunting in a car seat can create a gap between your baby and the harness straps, compromising safety. For car seat travel, it is generally recommended to dress your baby in thin layers, buckle them snugly, and then use blankets or a car seat-specific cover *over* the harness.
