FAQs
What age range is the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting suitable for?
This bunting is designed for infants. Specific sizing will typically correspond to infant age groups (e.g., 0-3 months, 3-6 months, etc.), which you can find on the product's size chart.
Is the bunting safe for use in a car seat?
While the bunting provides excellent warmth, thick outerwear can interfere with the proper snugness of car seat harnesses. For optimal safety, it is generally recommended to dress your infant in thinner layers in the car seat and use blankets over the harness after it's properly secured, or use car seat-approved covers. Always prioritize ensuring the car seat straps are tight against your baby's body.
How do I clean the bunting?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry low with dryer balls to help re-fluff the down. Ensure it is completely dry to prevent mildew.
Is this bunting waterproof?
The bunting features water-resistant fabric, meaning it can repel light rain or snow, keeping your infant dry in most conditions. It is not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
Does it have separate mittens and booties?
No, it features integrated fold-over cuffs on both the hands and feet. These cuffs can be folded over to cover your infant's extremities, providing warmth without the risk of separate items getting lost.
What kind of weather is this product best suited for?
It is best suited for very cold, windy, and potentially snowy environments, thanks to its down insulation and weather-resistant properties. It's an excellent choice for keeping infants warm during winter outings.
Troubleshooting
Infant seems too warm or uncomfortable in the bunting.
The Snuggly Bunny II Bunting is designed for very cold conditions. If the weather is mild, consider using lighter layers underneath or opting for less insulated outerwear to prevent overheating. Always check your baby's temperature regularly.
Down insulation appears flat or clumpy after washing.
This is common for down products. Re-tumble dry the bunting on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up clumps and re-distribute the down, restoring its loft. Repeat if necessary until fully fluffed.
Difficulty getting infant's limbs into sleeves/legs.
Ensure the bunting is fully unzipped and laid flat. Gently guide your infant's arms and legs through the openings. Check that the bunting size is appropriate for your infant's length and weight. Using the gusset detail correctly can help with movement.
Water resistance seems to be diminishing.
Over time, the water-resistant coating can wear off. Ensure you are washing with appropriate detergents (no fabric softeners) and consider using a wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor gear to restore water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Putting the Snuggly Bunny II Bunting on your infant is straightforward. The full-length zipper allows the bunting to open wide, making it easy to slide your baby in. Ensure their arms and legs are properly positioned within the sleeves and leg areas, and then zip up completely. The fold-over cuffs for hands and feet can then be secured.
Compatibility
This bunting is designed specifically for infants and is sized accordingly. It provides a full-body insulated layer. When using with a car seat, always ensure the car seat's harness straps are snug against your infant's body, not over bulky clothing, to ensure safety. It may be necessary to remove the bunting or use a thinner layer underneath in a car seat, depending on the car seat's fit and safety guidelines.
Care
Proper care will maintain the bunting's warmth and longevity. Given its fleece material and down insulation:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the down or water-resistant coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry low with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the down insulation and prevent clumping. It may take several cycles to fully dry and re-fluff. Ensure the bunting is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Info needed: [Check specific product tag for dry cleaning recommendations, often not recommended for down-filled items.]
