Mid-October, frost is around the corner. And in some places already the first snow fell. Mothers go shopping in a friendly manner to look for a winter suit for a child. After all, it is necessary that the child does not freeze, not get wet, do not overheat ... In general, so that the quality. And how could I not be mistaken? The specialists of the Roskachestvo organization went to women's forums, found out which brands of children's winter suits were most popular among mothers (only 30), tested them in conditions close to extreme ones. And according to the results, they made their recommendations on the choice of really high-quality children's things. A detailed report on what brands of costumes were stronger than others, as well as other detailed specifications can be found. Well, we’ll tell you about the main mistakes that moms make when they go shopping for children, and about what you really should pay attention to.How to choose a quality winter suit for a childPhoto: GettyImages

1. Choose non-staining colors

Children's clothes should be bright. This is an axiom.It is better to leave boring muted and inconspicuous colors for later - for the office, for example. But mothers are afraid that bright things will fade. In addition, bright things have to be washed more often. This means that the color will "slide" and we will still get clothes of an indistinct color. Roskachestvo specialists assure: they will not fade. All suits were tested for color fastness of children's suits to sunlight, washing, sweat, distilled water and dry friction. Not only the top fabric was assessed, but also the lining. After all, it is important that it does not "float" and does not dye other things when washed or worn under the suit. All 30 turned out to be incredibly resistant. And only two suits faded in the sun: Batik and Luhta brands. BY THE WAY If you are afraid that bright colors are poisonous, you are in vain. The experts did not find toxic dyes in any of the samples.

2. We buy clothes for growth

Considering how much winter ones cost these dayssuits, the idea seems logical. After all, if you manage to save on clothes next season, that’s great! But here you need to focus not so much on the child’s growth rate, but on the level of his activity. If your little rascal loves to run around the playground, slide down a slide on his bottom, hang on horizontal bars and do other activities, the suit may easily not survive until the next season. Roskachestvo claims: 19 samples out of 30 showed good results in terms of durability when tested for tearing. The remaining 11 had seams burst - side or crotch. There is another indicator of durability - a friction resistance test. A quality suit should withstand at least 4 thousand revolutions of an abrasive disk. If you transfer this indicator to trips down a 20-meter slide, such a suit should last at least a hundred times. 21 samples coped with this task. Suits of the remaining nine brands - Alex Junis, Salve, Kvartet, Boom! by orby, Kiko, AksArt, MaZiMa, Milashka Suzi and SkyTec will wear out faster than the others. The worst result was for the suit from Boom! by orby. It will only last for 33 rides down the hill. BY THE WAY The experts tested suits costing from 3 thousand to 12 thousand rubles. Five of them were classified as high-quality goods. Their average price is 7,500 rubles. Champion brands: Arctland, Nikastyle and SHL (Russia), Premont and Gusti (China).How to choose a quality winter suit for a childPhoto: GettyImages

3. Do not pay attention to the strip

Let us remember that stirrups are a kind of membrane,which is attached to trousers and fixed on boots, preventing the leg from riding up. In our childhood, they were called "brakes". This is a real must-have for a fidget. Researchers have proven that stirrups will not allow the leg to ride up. So the baby will not freeze or get wet, no matter what hills he climbs or what snowdrifts he storms. Only seven brands sew stirrups to the trousers of their suits. Another two have bothered with loops or buttons for them. BY THE WAYIf the shoes are high enough, stirrups will also protect from snow. But not with a 100% guarantee. To prevent snow from getting into shoes, special protective parts are needed - they were not found on only one suit, the Luhta brand. Another important detail is the wristbands on the jacket. Thanks to them, snow does not get into the sleeves, and the jacket retains heat better. The suits from Huppa, CAIMANO, Saima, Kerry, Luhta, Lassie, and Reimatec Kiddo did not have wristbands.

4. Neglecting security

Trying to combine requirements for price, quality,color and style, we sometimes forget about safety. It gets dark early now, in winter twilight will come even earlier, and in some places it will be around the clock. It will be difficult for drivers to see a child on an unlit section of the road or yard. Therefore, reflective details on a suit are a must-have number one. Yes, more important than stirrups. As Roskachestvo experts found out, most manufacturers of children's suits were concerned about this issue. But seven of them ignored reflectors: AksArt, Fun Time, VuGGa, Alex Junis, Bilemi, SkyTec and Salve. BY THE WAY Pay attention to whether there is a plastron on the zipper. This is a thing that protects the child's chin from the fastener. Most manufacturers were concerned about the presence of a plastron. There is no protection only on three suits - Saima, Boom! by orby and Luhta.How to choose a quality winter suit for a childPhoto: GettyImages

5. We are looking for "breathable" model.

First of all, a winter suit should not bebreathable, but warm. The fabric for the top of such suits a priori comes with special film coatings that do not conduct air, protect from the wind. But the lining fabric must be breathable. This is necessary for air to circulate under the jacket and pants, so that the child does not overheat. BY THE WAY If the model is breathable, it will be very attractive to moisture. And who cares if the child gets wet right away? Therefore, it turned out quite predictably that all the "experimental" suits are almost 100% waterproof. Only the Kiko suit coped with the task worse. And in the rest - welcome to the snowdrift. PAY ATTENTION Five samples out of 30 were "caught" in violations. The manufacturers of suits under the brands CAIMANO, "AksArt" and Fun time distorted information about the materials from which the clothes are made. In the CAIMANO and Fun time suits, experts found a substitution of the declared natural materials for artificial and synthetic ones. And the manufacturer of the AksArt brand surprised experts with a "reverse substitution" - the label assures the consumer of 100% polyester, while in fact the lining of the product is 35 percent cotton. Such a discrepancy may indicate the lack of incoming inspection at the enterprise. In two more samples - under the Bilemi and KiKo brands - the label did not contain complete information about the manufacturer. Read more:
