FAQs
What age group is this bunting designed for?
This specific Columbia Snuggly Bunny II Bunting is designed for toddlers. Always refer to the Columbia size chart for precise sizing based on your child's measurements.
Is this bunting suitable for use in a car seat?
For safety, it is generally recommended to remove bulky outerwear, like this bunting, before securing a child in a car seat. The harness should fit snugly against the child's body. Instead, you can drape blankets over the secured car seat harness for warmth.
How do I properly wash and dry this down-filled bunting?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with 3-4 clean tennis balls or dryer balls to fluff the down. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
Is the bunting completely waterproof?
The bunting features water-resistant fabric, meaning it will repel light rain or snow and keep your child dry in mild wet conditions. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation.
Does it come with separate mittens and booties?
No, this bunting features integrated fold-over hand and foot covers, which provide convenient, built-in protection for your child's extremities without the need for separate accessories.
What type of insulation does this bunting use?
It is insulated with a 60/40 duck down fill, providing excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for cold environments.
Troubleshooting
Child still feels cold inside the bunting.
Ensure the bunting is the correct size for your child. A too-large bunting can allow cold air to circulate. For extremely cold conditions, layer light, moisture-wicking clothing underneath. Verify that the fold-over hand and foot covers are fully engaged.
Bunting feels stiff or lumpy after washing.
This often occurs if the down has clumped. Re-tumble dry the bunting on low heat with 3-4 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This process helps to break up clumps and redistribute the down evenly, restoring its loft.
Zipper snags or is difficult to move.
Gently try to free any fabric caught in the zipper. Avoid forcing it, which can damage the teeth. If the zipper continues to stick, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to smooth its movement.

Sizing and Compatibility
This bunting is designed for toddlers. Always consult the official Columbia size chart to ensure a proper fit based on your toddler's height and weight. A correctly sized bunting provides optimal warmth, comfort, and allows for safe use in conjunction with car seats (removing the bunting before securing the harness is generally recommended for safety).
Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity and loft of the down insulation, proper care is crucial:
- Machine Wash: Use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent or a gentle liquid detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and fluff the down feathers, preventing clumping. Ensure the bunting is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Do Not: Bleach, iron, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the effectiveness of the water-resistant coating and down loft.
