FAQs
What age range is this bunting suitable for?
This bunting is designed for infants. Please refer to Columbia's official size chart to find the best fit based on your infant's specific height and weight.
Can this bunting be used in a car seat?
Due to its bulk and down insulation, it is generally recommended to avoid using thick outerwear like this bunting under car seat straps, as it can create slack in the straps and compromise safety. It's safer to buckle your baby in their car seat first, then place the bunting over the straps as a blanket, or use a car seat cover.
Is the bunting truly waterproof?
The bunting features water-resistant fabric, which means it will repel light rain or snow, keeping your infant dry in most conditions. It is not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, but offers excellent protection for typical winter outings.
How do I ensure my baby doesn't overheat?
The Snuggly Bunny II Bunting is very warm. Always check your baby's neck or back to gauge their temperature. Avoid excessive layering underneath, especially when moving indoors or into a heated car. If their skin feels warm or sweaty, remove the bunting or adjust their layers.
Are the hand and foot covers removable?
The hand and foot covers are integrated fold-over cuffs, meaning they are attached to the bunting and cannot be removed. They provide an easy way to cover or uncover your infant's extremities as needed.
What is the material of the inner lining?
The hood, torso, and sleeves are lined with soft microfleece for added comfort and warmth.
Does it have reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the bunting includes reflective detail to enhance visibility, especially during low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or overcast days.
What type of insulation does it use?
The bunting features 60/40 duck down fill insulation, known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.
Troubleshooting
Bunting feels lumpy or flat after washing.
This can happen with down insulation. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with 3-5 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up any clumps and restore the loft of the down. Repeat drying cycles until completely dry and fluffy.
Infant seems too hot or too cold while wearing the bunting.
Adjust your infant's inner layers. For colder conditions, add a thin, warm base layer. For warmer conditions, reduce inner layers. Always check your baby's neck or back (not hands or feet) to gauge their temperature. Remember the bunting is designed for very cold environments.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Hold the fabric taut on both sides when zipping. If it's still difficult, gently rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
