FAQs
Are these dungarees warm enough on their own?
These dungarees are unlined and primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For warmth, they are intended to be worn over other clothing layers, such as jumpers or fleece, depending on the ambient temperature.
How do I clean the dungarees?
The dungarees are machine washable. Use a mild detergent and wash at a low temperature (30-40°C). Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not tumble dry; air dry instead.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that waterproof tape is applied over the stitched seams on the inside of the garment. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes, ensuring full waterproofing.
Can these be used for very active play like climbing?
Yes, the flexible and spacious design allows for a wide range of movement, making them suitable for active play. The durable material and reinforced features support vigorous activities.
What is the benefit of the underfoot stirrups?
The adjustable underfoot stirrups are designed to loop under the child's footwear. This helps to keep the dungarees firmly in place and prevents them from riding up, ensuring full leg coverage and protection from the elements.
Are the reflective details effective in all conditions?
The reflective details are designed to reflect light sources, such as car headlights or streetlights, making the wearer more visible in low-light conditions like dusk or dawn. Their effectiveness depends on the presence of an external light source.
What sizes are available?
These dungarees are available in various children's sizes, typically ranging from toddler sizes up to older kids' sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size chart and available options.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Check for any damage to the material or taped seams. Re-evaluate washing and drying methods, as harsh detergents or high heat can compromise waterproofing.
Dungarees feel restrictive
These are designed to be spacious for layering. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate underlayers and not excessively bulky clothing that might impede movement.
Buckles are difficult to fasten
Practice fastening the buckles a few times. They are designed for ease, but some children may need a little help initially. Ensure the straps are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten.
Stirrups are not staying in place
Adjust the stirrups to the tightest setting and ensure they are securely positioned under the footwear. If the footwear is very bulky, this may affect the fit.
