babylegs, huggalugs, and skidpants

Skidpants – Sour Apple (shown)
These were Created by a mom when her son began to crawl to protect his little legs from “skid marks” (otherwise known as rug burn). From this, Skid Pants were born. Skid pants provided protection for his little legs and still gave him the freedom to move and continue to learn that long pants often didn’t provide. Skid Pants are a great way to keep those precious legs safe and warm. Cotton/Spandex blend, approx 16″ in length.Out of the 3 different types of warmers these were my favorite. I loved the bright colors and how they fit Ethan. Just look how cute these are. I also liked them becasue they were really long, my son has long legs and they covered them well.One of the most frequent questions they get is what is the difference between the different brands of baby leg warmers. The three main brands are Huggalugs, SkidPants by Dittany Baby, and BabyLegs.

Age Range: All brands are one size fits most. According to BabyLegs, they work for kids up to age 10 (except the Vermont organics, those are up to age 4).Skidpants are the longest, but don’t give an age range.

Length: The photo to the left shows the original version of each brand of baby leg warmer.
The SkidPants are the longest, followed by BabyLegs, then Huggalugs. BabyLegs also makes an XL and SuperSoft version, which are just slightly shorter than the SkidPants.

Fabrics: The original version of each brand is a cotton/spandex blend, very similar in feel and function. SkidPants also has a lightweight version, which is made of 100% nylon, similar to nylon tights. These are great for warmer climates and summer time. BabyLegs also has an organic line. Most of the organics are very similar to their originals, except the Vermont made ones. Those fit a bit smaller. BabyLegs SuperSofts are made of a very soft polyester, and feel luxurious.

Pricing: Base price for all the brands is $12. Organics, Supersoft, and Lightweights cost a bit more, as do the XL version of BabyLegs. Accessories: Huggalugs makes matching organic t-shirts that coordinate with a handful of their legwarmers.
