FAQs
What age range is this bunting designed for?
This bunting is designed for infants. Specific sizing will determine the exact age range it is suitable for; always check the size chart to find the best fit for your child.
Can I use this bunting in a car seat?
While it provides excellent warmth, bulky clothing like this bunting can interfere with the snugness and effectiveness of car seat harnesses. It is generally recommended to buckle your infant securely into the car seat first, without bulky layers, and then place the bunting or a blanket over the secured harness. Always consult your car seat manufacturer's guidelines.
How do I properly clean the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, down-specific detergent, and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and ensure it dries thoroughly, preventing clumping.
Is the bunting fully waterproof?
The bunting is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and snow, keeping your infant dry in typical winter conditions. However, it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged exposure to wet weather.
How do the fold-over hands and feet work?
The cuffs at the end of the sleeves and legs are designed to be easily folded over to create enclosed mittens and booties. This feature provides extra warmth and protection for your infant's extremities without the need for separate accessories.
What kind of weather is this bunting best suited for?
This bunting is ideal for cold to very cold temperatures, especially in windy conditions or light precipitation. It's perfect for winter outings like stroller walks, sledding (for older infants), or any activity where sustained warmth and protection are needed.
Troubleshooting
Infant seems too warm or too cold while wearing the bunting.
Adjust the layers your infant is wearing underneath the bunting. In very cold conditions, ensure the fold-over hands and feet are utilized. If too warm, remove an inner layer.
Bunting feels excessively bulky or restricts movement.
Verify the sizing. A bunting that is too large or too small can feel restrictive or cumbersome. Ensure the fit allows for comfortable movement without being overly loose.
Down insulation appears clumpy or flat after washing.
This is common for down-filled items. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This process helps to redistribute and fluff the down. You may need to repeat this step several times.
Water resistance seems to have decreased.
Ensure you are using appropriate down-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impair water repellency. If needed, consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outerwear.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If persistent, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., zipper wax or silicone spray) to the teeth.

Compatibility
This bunting is designed for infants across various age groups, with specific sizes available. It's suitable for use in strollers, baby carriers, and during general outdoor activities in cold weather.
Car Seat Note: While warm, bulky outerwear like a bunting can interfere with the proper functioning of a car seat harness. It is generally recommended to buckle your infant directly into the car seat, ensuring the straps are snug, and then place the bunting or a blanket over the secured harness. Always refer to your car seat manufacturer's guidelines regarding bulky clothing.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the down insulation and water resistance of your bunting:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, down-specific detergent, avoiding fabric softeners or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps of down and restore the loft and warmth of the insulation. It may take several drying cycles. Ensure the bunting is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing for long periods, as this can damage the down.
