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

[felix555]

Wow, some of you guys would be so incredibly bothered seeing me in public. I don't like things around my ankles, but I also hate women's capri exercise pants (because I don't particularly like that all women's pants are made to mold against the body). I wear men's sweat pants, with the elastic ankles, but I pull the elastics up to my knees to make it capri-length. With flip-flops or my very old original five-finger soft-sole yoga shoes (they're like toddler rubberoos if those were toe socks) whenever the weather lets me get away with it.
I also just realized that a lot of DS1's sweat pants have metal buttons at the waist. Because I guess that's supposed to make them more chic? There's zero function to them.

Nah all of us have toddlers and trying to stop them from throwing tantrums or headbutting the floor when out. You'd probably be lucky if we noticed your hair was on fire nevermind your rubberoos

A few weeks ago my OH asked me if I noticed the middle aged lady out in her tiger onesie (after she walked past) I honestly hadn't

Olls pretty much lives in his jeans however all the ones I buy him are fairly baggy and soft denim. I don't mind him in trackies and he's had some cracking tracksuits but recently it's more a jeans things.

I love love love dungarees but my ex hated them so Olls was rarely in them. Not a problem now haha.

My little girl wears jeggings in the winter here(Australia) besides the fact they look super comfy and cute, my daughter just looks silly in jeans...they always look like they don't fit properly.... So we just don't buy jeans. Also a huge fan of denim dresses(like overall dresses) with tights or leggings underneath for the winter I'd like to say my daughter would be well dressed at the park, but i wouldn't have any problem with her jumping in puddles or mud, she would be dressed for that kind occasion just in case anyways, I feel bad for the kids who can't get dirty too....clothes can always be washed and changed

Edited to add..... Didn't actually answer your question about joggers/sweatpants..... Not a fan of them on my daughter, same reason as the jeans really, they just look too baggy on her... She did have some tracksuit type pants last winter for pjs though... They looked very very comfy. I wouldn't even look twice at another toddlers outfit..., way too busy sorting my own kid out while we are out and about!

My LO wears a lot of dresses with leggings, soft pants, and jeans. She doesn't really have any sweat pants in her current size, but I'm not against them. I just never came across any that I liked or thought she needed.

I was just thinking about it and I hardly ever notice what other toddlers are wearing, unless it is something particularly cute. We were at a play date this afternoon, and I can't remember any of what the kids were wearing except one child's dress because I really liked it.

Violet, only has one pair of jeans and I didn't buy them. I don't really see the point of jeans for a toddler and aim more for comfort.

 

[HappyAnjeL]

My OH put her in sweat pants all the time before she decided to be the most difficult child ever. Never bothered me.

Abby will not wear anything but leggings mostly.. She used to wear thin comfortable jeans but has recently decided against them and any material other than leggings or thin cotton pajama pants (and those can't be too baggy and can't ride up in the slightest when she sits ) & I don't wear leggings as I find them uncomfortable.

Maria wears these kind of joggers, soft cotton ones with (usually) elastic at the bottom so they don't ride up her leg when she's playing. They call them college trousers here for some reason. Definitely the best thing to wear to daycare as they're easy for her to pull up and down herself for going to the toilet as well as being comfy for playing (today they're digging a snow fort - need lots of freedom of movement for that!)

We use the smart joggers from asda, they look bootcut. I hate all other joggers though but jeans are too restricting even for the bathroom

 

[twobecome3]

I have seen kids dressed in very nice clothes to the park etc and the mums keep yelling at them to stay out mud or not to do this and that as they will make their clothes dirty and I feel quite sorry for the kids! It's all fun at the end of the day and clothes can be replaced or washed!

THis. drives me bonkers!

 

[twobecome3]

I think she has one pair of sweats left in the drawer that fit.

she has a lot of pants that look like jeans but are actually soft and stretchy. tbh I don't buy her clothes! shes gets so much at xmas, birthdays. some of it I wouldn't necessarily buy myself but someone did, so she wears it all.

the only exception was stiff jeans when she was really small. I remember putting her in a pair of crisp overalls and she hated them - they kept her legs straight when she wanted to curl them in. so we didn't put jeans on her for a long time.

My daughter has mixture if leggings and jeans. Jeans are good for when crawling about etc as then she doesent scrape knees and doesn't restrict her, she is more in leggings to be honest and I did more jeans when crawling about as then the knees didn't get ruined. My baby boy has a mixture of jeans and jogging bottoms and he is at stage if crawling about. To be honest its just personal preference. I like stuff my kids can rough and tumble in which arnt likely to fall apart

 

[jd83]

Should also point out that although my kids do wear jeans plenty, my main complain with them for play clothes for boys is that they ruin the knees of them. Every. Single. Pair. Why???? Why are boys so unbelievably rough on their jeans??? I just bought DS1 all new jeans in September, like 10 pairs. I think he only has 2 pairs left without holy knees.

I was thinking about this yesterday… I went to the park and saw a mom with two small children and the MOM had on the stretchy soft pants with a band at the bottom. They were black and kind of sparkly. She looked like the rich, fashionable type so maybe they are in style!?? I wouldn't have picked that outfit.

I personally love joggers on my girls in the winter when its cold and when were in the house, im not keen on them if were going out. When we go to soft play i just put them in leggings or atm its knitted dresses and tights. I love jeans i think they look very smart but i agree with the comfort aspect of them, if i wear my jeans and im out and about as soon as i get home, my pjs go on xx

Toddler jeans / trousers / cords are not uncomfortable

We're not talking Armani A/W 2015 collection here. They are toddler jeans designed for toddlers with comfort in mind so obviously not like adult jeans. Some with elasticated waists are actually just like glorified joggers.

 

[catty]

Some of the jeans I buy they are lined with cotton material and they look super comfy, wish I could get in my size!
His skinnier jeans are a bit uncomfy for softplay though. I didnt realise they were 'skinny' fit or I wouldt have bought

She has a pair of Primark 'jeans' but they have an elasticated waist and made of really soft material. They really are more like joggers with a jean effect and turn up!

 

[sequeena]

My son funnily enough has never worn through a pair of trousers.

 

[morri]

Here a couple of my lo's trousers have a doubled up knee area to prevent it from wearing out.

I hate those types of "comfy" jeans, I prefer proper jeans on DS, this is why jeans is uncomfy wear in our house

I buy soft cotton training suits from Mothercare (similar to the one he's wearing in the avatar pic), they're nice and comfy and warm enough here.

He wears long trousers 3-4 months a year, it is too hot here he lives in shorts, even now with a cooler weather he goes to school wearing shorts
