Favorite clothes for baby/ toddler?

What are your favorite clothes/ brand. I feel like some of the materials of the clothes I buy are so thin and get stretched out easily. I buy from carters and target. I thought I would have better luck with burts bees since it claims to be more durable and I haven't had much luck. I have a friend who moved to Australia a few years back for work and she had sent the twins clothes from this store Bonds in Australia and the durability is unlike any of their clothes and I just can't find something similar. Like their onesies look so stretched after 1-2 wears, maybe it's how I wash them? I do a cold wash on the baby cycle

Favorite clothes for baby/ toddler?

I personally love Carters...I have some items that have been worn by four kids and still look in decent shape!
I also don't spend a ton on baby clothes because they wear them for only a few months.

ETA: I washed everything in warm water on the regular cycle and machine dry

Baby Gap holds up well and I like Zara also. I love Egg clothing, but will only buy stuff on sale because it's on the expensive side.

How do you dry their stuff? I always do tumble dry low for 60 minutes.

When my boys were little, they mainly wore Carters or Baby Gap.

Same here. I really don't like the Carter's stuff sold at target though bc the fabric stinks. The pjs are okay but the rest of their Carter's stuff is terrible imo. I love the Carter's clothes from the outlet though.

I liked some stuff from old navy and gap but some was ill fitting or didn't wash well. Osh kosh is great but even that is a little expensive imo when they outgrow everything so fast as infants.

I found Carters to be great quality. I didn't like Gerber - everything shrunk.

I also liked Zara and Old Navy a lot.

Never tried Zara, but agree on the others. H&M is another good spot, too.

If you buy the Carter's brand through Target, it's different though. I don't like the quality as much.

I liked the Target Circo brand but that's gone. Now it's Cat & Jack I think. So far, so good, but I don't have a lot of their stuff.

If you're looking for a good quality, try Hanna Andersson. They are a little pricey, but often run good sales. Their clothes hold up very well, particularly their pajamas.

I like Carter's and Gymboree. I also buy a TON on Zulily.

I also wash in cold water on the delicate cycle. Is that wrong?

I LOVE carters clothes. cheap and last. BUT I do have to say, It seems that the boys clothes are inconsistent in sizing. I always shopped there for my girls. 7 years now. DS is now 1 and I am finding it harder. Makes me wonder if its boys clothes.

I like gymboree, carters (usually). Old navy, gap for boys, kohls (sometimes),

Re: Favorite clothes for baby/ toddler?

Hannah Anderson is amazing quality but costs a fortune. The bulk of our everyday clothes are from kohls - jumping beans. I have no issue with quality or shrinking and everything matches. After the 30% off coupon most separates are $5 each, and they've survived daily use with multiple hand-me-downs.

Yes!! My sister got DD one of those bathing suits and I was so surprised it had the snaps that I was halfway through peeling the suit off before I noticed. Why don't they ALL have them?!
