The Plush Fleece Romper — Hooded, Newborn to 18 Months

A hooded fleece romper for the cold half of the year — the one you reach for when the house is chilly, the pram is heading out, or the nap needs to survive a temperature drop. Soft enough to sleep in, warm enough to skip a jacket.

The plush pile is brushed on both faces, so there's no scratchy lining against new skin. A single row of poppers runs down the front and along the inside leg, which means changes happen without pulling anything over your baby's head. Ears on the hood, covered feet, and folded cuffs that sit past the hand on the smaller sizes.

Two designs

• Pocket Bunny. A small bunny with sleeping eyes peeks out of a patch pocket on the chest. Rounded ears on the hood. The quieter of the two.
• Bear Cub. A stitched bear face across the chest with a soft nose and blushed cheeks, plus bear ears on the hood and contrast turned-back cuffs. The bolder one — it reads from across a room.

Both come in the same four shades: Blush Pink, Warm Khaki, Soft White and Dove Grey. Tap a swatch above to see that exact one.

Why parents keep it in rotation

• One-piece warmth. No gap at the waist when your baby stretches, rolls or gets carried.
• Front and inseam poppers. A nappy change takes seconds, and you never have to undress a sleeping baby.
• Soft both sides. Brushed inside as well as out — no rough seams against the skin.
• Holds its pile. Washes without matting into a flat, crunchy fleece after a month.

The details

Choosing a size

Baby sizing runs by age, but babies don't. If your little one is between sizes or long in the body, take the larger one — a fleece with a little room is far more useful than one that fits perfectly for three weeks. Open the size guide above for height and weight ranges, or send us your baby's measurements and we'll tell you which to order.

A note on winter layers

Bulky outerwear should not be worn under car seat straps — it compresses in a crash and leaves the harness loose. Buckle your baby in first, then lay the romper or a blanket over the top.
