Which fastening is best for a baby
At this age, how easy they are to dress really matters. Zip-up sweatshirts go on without pulling anything over their head and are ideal for quick changes. Pullovers stay neater and don't come open while they're crawling.
Fleece for the cold, layers for in-between days
Sweatshirt fleece is pretty warm, so at home or on mild days a short-sleeved top underneath is enough. For going out in winter, use it as a mid-layer under a coat.
How to get the size right
- 6-9 months: 69–71 cm.
- 12-18 months: 75–83 cm.
- 18-24 months: 83–92 cm.
Babies grow fast: if they're close to the limit, choose the next size up. Long sleeves can be rolled up and the elasticated cuffs stop them riding up. More measurements in the size guide. Remember that in a nappy, babies need a little extra length in the body.
Hood with ears or no hood?
A hood with ears is very photogenic and little ones love it, but for the car seat and long naps in the pushchair, a hoodless sweatshirt is more comfortable. Have one of each if you can.
Frequently asked questions
What size sweatshirt does a 1-year-old need?
A 1-year-old usually wears size 12 months if they're 72–74 cm tall, but if they're already over 75 cm, size 18 months (75–83 cm) will fit better. Height matters more than age; you can enter it on the product page or check the size guide.
From what age does tuc tuc make baby sweatshirts?
tuc tuc baby sweatshirts start at size 6 months, when babies spend more time sitting up and playing. For newborns, knitted cardigans and multi-piece sets that open at the front are more practical.
Is sweatshirt fleece good for baby skin?
Yes, sweatshirt fleece is a knit fabric with a soft, warm brushed inside that's widely used in children's clothing. All tuc tuc garments are made in line with the European REACH regulation, which bans harmful substances in textiles. For very sensitive skin, put a cotton top underneath.
How do you wash a baby sweatshirt?
Wash the baby sweatshirt inside out, on a cold cycle with a gentle detergent, and avoid the tumble dryer so the fleece doesn't shrink or go matted. Do up zips and poppers before washing and always follow the care label.
Is a baby sweatshirt a good gift?
Yes, a baby sweatshirt is a practical and eye-catching gift: it gets worn almost every day and the animal designs are always popular. To get it right, give a size up from their current age. For something more complete, take a look at the baby sets.
What baby sweatshirt styles does tuc tuc have?
tuc tuc has baby sweatshirts in sweatshirt fleece with hoods, ears, zips or pullover styles, featuring tigers, dinosaurs, rhinos, little frogs, cars and savannah animals. They're designed to go with the trousers and tracksuits from the same collection.
