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

[Gem1302]

If I had a girl I think she'd pretty much live in leggings, they're not really like adult ones I think...
With Jenson I often get him cotton trousers that look like jeans, loose jeans or chinos. His joggers/sweat pants are his spare clothes in the changing bag. He's never worn anything stiff or not soft or something tight. We go to a mother & toddler group at soft play every week and he can climb up anywhere without struggling. I think most kids there wear the same as him actually, I've asked some mums where they got their LOs outfit from if I've liked it haha (once I've made friends with them - not randomly!)

I really never thought of jeans as restrictive! Micah wears jeans, chinos, cords, thin cargo type trousers and lots and lots of dungarees. I don't really buy jogging bottoms for him, I just don't personally like the style on him, but he has some loose leggings for gymnastics.

My son wears both but only jeans that are soft material and baggy style. I hate those cardboard rough feeling ones seems so uncomfortable! He wears joggers at home and chinos or jeans when out

 

[MommyJogger]

I had to google chinos. Them are some fancy pants. This thread kind of makes me feel like I'd find myself on "People of Walmart" if I looked hard enough.
I'd also never heard of H and M before, but it looks very hipster. Not sure we could have our kid wear it without laughing, it's just so oddly stylish for a toddler. His current fav at the moment are a pair of lovely thick mini mouse pj bottoms.

My son wears jeans, other material khaki type pants or knit/soft/sweat pants. I'd rather put him in soft pants for the park and soft play put he tends to trip on them and I hate when pants look too short so I put him in jeans or other pants sometimes so he doesn't trip when climbing. I can roll them up easier if necessary too. The best ones seem to be knit pants with a band at the bottom but they are harder to find in toddler sizes. Jeans don't seem to restrict him much at all.

Edit: are joggers the kind with a band at the ankle? I don't like the look of them much but they do work best for gymboree because he can't wear shoes and the surfaces are a little slippery. Fashion shouldn't overrule practicality especially with toddlers!

My mum was a track pants hater. It took me until halfway through my twenties to figure out that if I wanted to lounge around the home in track pants or leggings, then that was okay and no one would judge me for it.

My LO wears comfy stuff. I couldn't abide him being restricted. So he's a track pants or cotton pants or shorts boy most days. I genuinely think he has never once worn jeans, but that isn't because I don't like them, it's because he's very tall and skinny and we have a big problem with his pants falling down, so currently he only wears pants with a drawstring so I can tie them up and they won't fall down.

I find it a bit odd when you go somewhere kids are climbing, etc, and they're wearing jeans. You just can't hike your leg up in jeans unless they're fake stretchy jeans.

DS wears jeans or soft pants, whatever is clean. He is a skinny squirt and in undies, so he has tons of room in all pants. It is hard to find pants that will stay up on him AND are long enough.

 

[x__amour]

Shorts mostly as we live in Florida but yes to jeans too.

 

[OmarsMum]

Track pants, training suits, cotton shorts ... No jeans to the park or soft play, now he is 5 he chooses what to wear and he told clearly that jeans is not comfy for playing or moving around with his bike or scooter.

 

[KatieB]

They both wear soft jeans with an elasticated waist, next and M&S mainly. Not a huge fan of tailored trousers and cords/chinos on kids and don't like baggy joggers but have some lovely straight leg joggers from France (and some from UK) that are lovely and stylish (I think!) and have also kept their legs nice and warm in Winter.

 

[minties]

I like my son in sporty clothes, not really into preppy stuff.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I much prefer dungarees on Micah to any other style as they look very cute and are also loose and practical. I may have a slight dungaree habit... Almost all second hand!

My two are always in dress with tights or leggings and Tshirts/blouses. Their preference would be for dresses every day. They sometimes wear jeans.

I'd never leave the house with them in joggers and if somebody bought them them id be mortified.

Wouldn't even happily put joggers on a wee boy. I think they're awful.

I love h&m organic cotton joggers for DS. They fit him nicely and are comfy for him. In the winter though I put him in jeans as they're warmer and I also put him in cotton trousers in the summer as well. DS isn't much of a climber anyway.

that really made me laugh

Chinos .. well the ones I get, are really like jeans (that style) but in a cotton material. And H&M in the UK is cheap, that's my motivation for getting about 90% of my LO's clothes there.

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

My son has always worn jeans and trust me he has never had a issue moving around! Lol I dislike dresses on my DD and even worse on crawling babies because so unpractical.

 

[morri]

I LOVE all of his dungarees! I wanted to get some of the star patch ones in the sale but they didn't have rio's size he would really like those with the cars on, where are they from? (If you don't mind sharing of course) x

 

[RaspberryK]

I love all the dungarees, ds wore loads of dungarees up until he grew out of them at around 18m xx

 

[KatieB]

I loved dungarees on Louis and Alex although it drove me mad when the poppers used to ping open when crawling etc.
