does your LO wear jeans to the park, softplay etc?

[veganmama]

meh i was just wondering, because i always seem to have my LO in sweatpants or loose stretchy pant because i feel like he cant move as freely if he had jeans on. everytime i try jeans on him it looks like he cant lift his leg up high enough to climb things he normally could if he had stretchy pants on.

is it just my LO that always seems to be wearing sweatpants or are yours too?

Lots of sweat pant haters on bnb! My son wears them a lot, they're warm and comfy and what he likes to wear

My son is almost never in anything but sweatpants or thin cotton shorts. Anything that restricts his movement just bothers me big time. He actually had one pair of 12mo jeans that fit well and loosely and were stretchy, but never since. Holla for all the sweatpant mamas! lol!

It depends on the activity - I dislike joggers (sweat pants), i dont think they look nice but my LOs wears them if we are going somewhere like soft play or their gymnastics classes.

I put him in jeans for places like the park, zoo, forest school because they are harder wearing and can handle being scrapped against hard serfaces - when my son goes to forest school they climb trees, rocks, clifts, caves etc... joggers would just come home ripped the shreds lol. Also in this weather joggers are just not warm enough as the wind goes right through them so jeans for the park

So yeah my LOs wear them but only when I think their suitable

im not a fan of LOs movement being restricted either. She wears leggings or jeggings mainly. Though she has a lovely pair of jeans from baby gap that are very comfortable and warm so she wears them sometimes too. I have a pair of jeans from another shop which I never put on her because I just cant see her being comfortable in them. I think a toddler should always be as comfortable as poss- they dont care what they look like afterall!

Mine always wears jeans / chino type trousers when we go out. Personally not keen on sweats unless we're indoors. I don't think they're restrictive as a lot of them are stretchy or have elastic waists, so pretty comfortable.

I wouldn't worry about it though it's personal preference and absolutely nothing wrong with a toddler in sweats out, just not really my thing. Wouldn't even give it a second thought if I saw a toddler out in sweats.

Sebastian has one pair of jeans and Dominic none as they don't suit him. Neither of them own any sweatpants or joggers at all cause I do not like the look of them. Mostly they wear cords or cargos. They are not at all restrictive cause I don't buy tight/skinny ones.

I'm not into jeans on DD, I find them restrictive too. She doesn't own any. She doesn't really wear sweatpants though, more like loose fitting leggings. Comfort is the most important imo, nothing against sweatpants here

If we go out I'll usually dress her in jeans or dress/matching pants. But for the playground/park we all dress in exercise clothes so we can all run and climb over everything comfortably. At home we're both in stretchy pants... one of my favorite perks of being a SAHM!

I don't really put Rio in joggers, I don't like them.
But don't care for what other people dress their children in either, I wouldn't look at a child in them and think they don't look nice, I just don't like to put Rio in them.
He mainly wears jeans and we go to soft play a lot, he's never been restricted. He climbs up the frames and steps etc just like all of the other children.
I only buy jeans that look and feel comfortable though I wouldn't put him in something cardboard like and expect him to play. X

Jeans for my daughter have always proved useless! They aren't elasticated enough at the waist and they are FAR too long in the leg.

I've NEVER found a decent pair for her!

It must be a US thing, but I cannot find comfortable, loose jeans for a toddler. If you've got a brand recommendation, I'll take it. We get a mishmosh of different brands because I buy used clothing and every single pair I've just taken and sold because the fit was so ludicrously bad. It's not as bad if we're venturing out for short trips in underwear, but it's really bad in cloth diapers.

My LO hates jeans and I don't really blame her, I'm not a huge fan myself. She's usually just in leggings or cotton pants. She has one pair of 'proper' sweatpants which I have no issue putting her in to go out anywhere, really, minus situations where jeans wouldn't be appropriate either.

Ben wears jeans out every day! Although when he was younger he wore joggers a lot. It doesn't tend to restrict his movement. He also has a few pairs of trousers from H&M, they're not jeans but not joggers! Kind of inbetween and he wears these for soft play.

If you like him in joggers then go for it! Your child your choice.

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

My LO has next jeggings and next jeans with an elasticated fabric waist x

Mostly I get them from H&M but I just checked the US store and they don't seem to have any of the looser fit / elasticated waist ones on there. Mind you they don't have them on the UK online shop either but they do in store.

I've seen more jeans haters than sweats haters on bnb

Maria wears joggers to daycare and she's wears them a lot in the winter as they're the most comfy to wear under snowclothes but she also wears jeans, cords etc. to the park and stuff in spring/summer/autumn. She can move quite freely in them (they're always loose-fitting with elasticated waists)

Jacob is really particular over what he likes to wear and refuses anything he considers 'baggy' so he only wears slim fit jeans/trousers. I can occasionaly get him in a pair or cargo trousers, but not often. We have a lot of the colouful pairs of jeans from h&m I don't find his movement restricted, if he wanted to wear joggers he could.. and I never notice what other kids wear out!

 

[RaspberryK]

Ds wears jeans unless he's ill and staying home. His movements have never seemed restricted in any way.
