A cozy hoodie or sweatshirt is the easiest way to add warmth without bulk. Layer one over a soft organic bodysuit for babies or a long-sleeve t-shirt for toddlers, and pair it with comfy pants and joggers for an everyday outfit.
On colder days, add a warm hat and soft booties, or keep babies snug in full-length footies. For ready-made outfits, browse our matching two-piece sets, or explore our full range of organic baby clothes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are hoodies safe for babies?
Hoodies are fine for babies during supervised, awake time. Remove them before naps and bedtime, because a hood can slip over your baby's face during sleep. Choose drawstring-free styles, which are safer for young children.
Why don't children's hoodies have drawstrings?
Drawstrings at the hood or neck can catch on playground equipment, cribs or car doors and pose a strangulation risk. In the US, hood and neck drawstrings on children's outerwear sizes 2T to 12 are treated as a serious hazard, so drawstring-free designs are the safer choice.
Can my child wear a hoodie in a car seat?
Thin layers like a sweatshirt are generally fine, but avoid bulky jackets, which can leave the harness too loose. Make sure the hood lies flat and isn't bunched behind your child's head, then check the fit: you shouldn't be able to pinch any slack in the harness strap at your child's collarbone.
What is waffle knit?
Waffle knit is a textured fabric with a raised grid pattern. The small pockets trap warmth while still letting air circulate, so it's cozy without being stuffy, and it gets softer with washing.
Should I choose a hoodie or a crewneck sweatshirt?
Hoodies add a little extra warmth and coverage outdoors, while crewneck sweatshirts have no hood, which makes them easy to layer and more comfortable when your baby is lying down or in a carrier. Many parents keep one of each.
How many layers should my baby wear?
A simple rule is to dress your baby in one more layer than you'd be comfortable in. Feel the back of their neck or chest: it should be warm, not hot or sweaty. Remove layers indoors to prevent overheating.
What size hoodie should I buy?
Baby hoodies are sized by age in months, and toddler sizes by T (2T, 3T). Check the brand's size guide against your child's height and weight. If you plan to layer over thicker clothes, sizing up slightly gives extra room.
Do you offer free shipping and returns on baby hoodies?
Yes. Every order ships free with hassle-free returns, and first-time customers get 10% off at checkout, up to a maximum discount of $75. See our shipping and returns pages for details.
