The main thing in children's clothing is comfort. According to this rule, children's bathrobes are made. They should absorb moisture well and retain heat.
Features
Children's bathrobes are made of soft terry. Other materials can be used, but this one is especially loved by parents and children. A prerequisite for a baby product on a naked body is hypoallergenic and natural fabrics, hence the high breathability.
In the right bathrobe, the child should feel as comfortable as if he was not wearing any clothes. It should be warm and soft to protect the baby’s hot skin from cooling.
Materials
- Mahra. The most popular material for baby bathrobes. This is a cotton fleece fabric. The degree of softness depends on the length and thickness of the pile. This fabric absorbs moisture well, so the child feels comfortable without even using towels. But if the pile is thick enough and long, then the dressing gown can become heavy.
- Microfiber. Synthetic polyester fabric. Less natural and environmentally friendly. But unlike terry, it does not fade, dries quickly and is durable. Drying it with an iron or battery is not recommended, otherwise its heat-insulating properties deteriorate.
- Wool. It can be an additive to the material or in a separate version. These bathrobes are warm and natural. Thanks to special processing technologies, it does not prick, but is heavier from moisture. It is necessary to remember about the allergic nature of this material.
- Silk. The fabric is beautiful, light and spectacular. Mostly suitable for older children, teenage girls. There are no bath options with such fabric, but in the hot season such a bathrobe is great for cooling the body.
- Nylon. Fabric variation for an inexpensive bathrobe.If your child does not like to walk in a dressing gown, then this fabric will suit well, since it will be used only on the way from the bathhouse and back.
- Flannel. Soft fabric with double-sided short pile. It retains heat well, but after squeezing it, at least squeeze it. The waffle fabric can also be attributed to this, but it differs in some roughness of the fabric.
When choosing a material, one must not forget for what purpose you are buying a dressing gown, in what room the child will wear it and for how long - for a long time or simply as a change of clothes between water procedures and changing clothes.
Models
For the smallest
For young children, the choice of bathrobes is large. All robes for this age have a hood in order to protect their head from hypothermia. But putting on a bathrobe on a wet little body of a child is inconvenient. Therefore, a good alternative was invented - a large terry bath towel with a corner instead of a hood. The child simply wraps himself in it and rests in comfort.
With zipper
A simple option for children. This dressing gown is easy to fasten yourself. When choosing, look for models with a hidden lock, because cold metal in contact with the skin of a child can cause discomfort and even skin irritation.
On buttons and buttons
Such dressing gowns can be either with stitched loops, or loops from the edge. Here you have to tinker with the fastening. And between the buttons there are gaps that let the cold through. In addition, the dressing gown itself can be unfastened, which will interfere with active children.
With smell
Double-breasted bathrobe with a belt. Children love it for an extra sensation of warmth and ease of donning. Throwing it on a wet body, it remains only to tie a belt. Also, the smell is a good blowout protection.
Decorated
Models of children's bathrobes make fun and bright, because the child always remains with them. Often children's bathrobes have funny ears and muzzles on the hoods, ponytails. Pockets are decorated with fluffy fur in the form of paws.
For older children, decor in the form of personalized embroidery is suitable.
Another decor option is applique. It can be either a simple flower or a letter of the name, or fabulous or cartoon characters.
How to choose?
- The main property for a bathrobe is hygroscopicity. Therefore, you can ask the seller to conduct a water test. High-quality fabric will absorb drops, but synthetic fabric will repel. If the seller refuses such a check, then look at the composition, the more natural components there, the faster the bathrobe will absorb moisture. At the same time, do not forget that a dressing gown of dense fabrics tends to become heavier from water.
- Look at the quality of the seams - no sticking threads, knots and stripes on top of each other. The structure of the fabric itself should be light. If you choose terry, then look at the pile - easy options, when the pile consists of single twisted threads, such fibers do not stretch, and retain their appearance for a long time. If the pile consists of double loops, then the dressing gown looks voluminous and softer, but these loops can stretch out over time and stick out ugly, if you cut them, you can get holes.
- Refuse bright colors, this means that the fabric has a lot of dyes. Check the smell of the robe, it should not have extraneous metal and plastic shades of aromas.
It is best to choose a bathrobe with your child. He will choose, the option that he will like, you just have to inspect the seams and composition.
How to sew?
The child can be pleased with a dressing gown and own make. For this, the mothers take a large bath towel, bent in half, and also put on it a bent baby's blouse, edge to edge. A towel is cut along the contour of the sweater, I retreat a few centimeters for a seam and for a loose cut robe. It remains to go at the seams on a sewing machine and decorate a bathrobe. You can add a hood, focusing on the size of the child’s head.
If you take into account all the nuances when choosing, then the bathrobe will become a favorite element of your child’s wardrobe.The main thing for a baby bathrobe is comfort and naturalness.
