FAQs
What age group is this bunting designed for?
This bunting is specifically designed for infants. Please refer to the size chart to select the correct size for your child's age and weight.
Is the bunting waterproof?
The bunting features water-resistant fabric, meaning it will repel light rain or snow. It is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Can my baby wear this in a car seat?
While it is designed for warmth, experts often advise against bulky clothing in car seats as it can interfere with harness tightness. Always check your car seat manufacturer's guidelines. For car seat use, consider putting the bunting on after securing your baby in the car seat, or using lighter layers under the harness and covering with the bunting's top portion or a car seat cover.
How do I clean the down insulation?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls (like tennis balls) to help re-fluff the down. Ensure it is completely dry to prevent clumping and mildew.
Does it have foot coverings and hand coverings?
Yes, it features integrated fold-over cuffs for both hands and feet, providing convenient warmth without needing separate mittens or booties.
Is the lining removable for washing?
No, the microfleece lining is sewn in and not designed to be removed. The entire bunting should be washed as a single unit according to the care instructions.
What kind of conditions is this bunting best suited for?
This bunting is best suited for cold and windy outdoor conditions, offering excellent insulation and protection against light precipitation, such as winter walks, stroller rides, or brief outdoor exposures.
What is the material composition of the bunting?
The bunting features a water-resistant outer fabric, a soft microfleece lining in the hood and torso (and sleeves), and 60/40 duck down insulation for warmth.
Troubleshooting
Baby seems too hot or too cold
Adjust layers underneath the bunting based on ambient temperature and activity level. If too hot, consider removing an underlayer or unzipping slightly. If too cold, ensure fold-over cuffs are used and consider adding a hat.
Bunting feels stiff or clumpy after washing
This can happen with down insulation. Re-tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls (tennis balls work) for an extended period until the down is fully fluffed and distributed evenly.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try again. If it continues, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) to the teeth.
Fold-over cuffs aren't staying in place
Ensure they are fully extended and tucked securely around the hands and feet. If they frequently slip, the bunting might be slightly too large for your infant, or your infant is particularly active. Info needed: [Are there snaps or elastics to secure cuffs?]
Bunting doesn't feel as warm as expected
Verify the down is evenly distributed. If clumpy, re-dry with dryer balls. Ensure the correct size is worn, as a too-large bunting allows cold air in, and too-small can restrict circulation.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the bunting's warmth and longevity.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
- Drying: Tumble dry low with two clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down. Ensure the bunting is completely dry to prevent mildew, which may take several hours and require periodic re-fluffing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not compress for long periods to preserve the down's loft.
