FAQs
What age group is the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting designed for?
This bunting is specifically designed for infants.
Is the bunting fully waterproof?
The bunting features water and wind resistant fabric, meaning it repels water and blocks wind, but it is not fully waterproof in prolonged heavy rain.
How should I wash the Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting?
Machine wash cold separately on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry low with 2-3 clean tennis balls to restore down loft. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Can I use this bunting in a car seat?
For car seat safety, it is crucial to buckle your child directly into the car seat harness. The bunting can then be placed over the buckled child like a blanket to provide warmth, ensuring the harness remains snug against their body.
What kind of insulation does this bunting use?
It uses 60/40 duck down fill insulation for superior warmth.
Does it include built-in mittens and booties?
Yes, it features convenient fold-over hands and feet to provide integrated warmth and protection for your infant's extremities.
What is the primary material of the bunting?
The main outer fabric is polyester, with a microfleece lining in the hood and torso, and duck down insulation.
Troubleshooting
Bunting appears flat or less warm after washing.
This is often due to down clumping. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls (or dryer balls) to help break up clumps and redistribute the down, restoring its loft and warmth.
Infant seems to be too warm or sweating while wearing the bunting.
The bunting provides significant warmth. Reduce the number or thickness of layers worn underneath. Monitor the infant's neck and back for signs of overheating (sweating). Use the bunting only in appropriately cold conditions.
Difficulty securing infant safely in a car seat with the bunting on.
For car seat safety, it is recommended to buckle your infant directly into the car seat harness without bulky clothing. Once securely buckled, you can place the bunting over the harness like a blanket to provide warmth without compromising strap fit or effectiveness.
Water repellency seems reduced over time.
Ensure the bunting is thoroughly cleaned as dirt and oils can affect water resistance. If issue persists, consider using a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor gear, following product instructions carefully.

Care
Proper care helps maintain the insulation and water resistance of your Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting.
- Washing: Machine wash cold separately on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry low with 2-3 clean tennis balls. This helps to redistribute and fluff the down fill, restoring its loft. Ensure the bunting is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and preserve down quality.
- Do NOT: Use bleach, iron, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair water resistance.
