BabyLegs Cool! Review + Giveaway

by Kate on June 8th, 2009 | 187 Comments » | In Uncategorized

BabyLegs aren’t your baby’s mama’s 80′s leg warmers (although my husband keeps insisting I reference Flashdance in this post). Available in a wide variety of styles, BabyLegs are true multi-taskers. They can be used to cover legs (duh) during a diaper change, as a cute substitute for pants, to cover arms or as leggings under a skirt. And, the awesome recently introduced BabyLegs cool are perfect for summer. Created from single-ply mesh material, BabyLegs Cool! provide SPF 50+ protection from the sun. And did I mention they’re cute!

About BabyLegs, from the website:

In 2005, Nicole Donnelly, then a stay-at-home mom, created BabyLegs to keep her dear daughter, Sara’s, little legs warm, while she was diaper free to allow bad rashes to heal. This impromptu invention not only allowed Sara’s rash to heal, but also protected her from many elements, made diaper changes quick and easy, kept her knees protected while crawling, and provided sun protection.

Baby Girl has been rocking the Flutter BabyLegs Cool! It’s super hot and humid where we live and my little one sweats like a beast (so not ladylike!) so I was interested in whether Baby Girl’d be a sweaty mess with her legs covered. The mesh material really breathes well, though, and she wasn’t any hotter in these than in a pair of shorts or a dress.

It’s a great time for her to be wearing BabyLegs, too, because Baby Girl has been army crawling a lot lately. I like that her little legs and knees are protected from rug burns and dirt when she drags herself across the floor.

Most importantly, BabyLegs Cool! provide SPT 50+ protection. If you’ve ever tried to apply sunscreen to a baby, you know it’s hard. With BabyLegs there’s no guesswork – you know your little ones arms or legs are covered and protected.

To Buy… BabyLegs are just so cute and sensible for little ones during any season, but I particularly love that BabyLegs Cool! provide SPF protection without making a little one too hot.

Or Not to Buy… The only improvement I can think of is to offer a larger variety in the Cool! brand. They are all pretty similar and not as varied as the traditional BabyLegs.

Shop! BabyLegs Cool! are available in four cute pattterns and are available for purchase at http://www.babylegs.com/ for $15. There are TONS of options in traditional BabyLegs for babies, boys and girls – and there’s even an organic collection.

Win! A pair of BabyLegs for your little one!
