Petit Bateau Kimono Tee & Legging Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love Petit Bateau. The quality of cotton is excellent (it is easy to get milk stains out), there are no fluffy, sparkly, frilly nonsense items on their underwear, and they simply make high-quality clothing. This is the kind of stuff you could use with four or five children.
I particularly like this outfit (I own two and am buying another) for several reasons:
-First, kimono shirts are really the only shirts that are easy to get on a newborn. You don't have to pull it over their head and scuff their tiny noses and ears. I know it sounds silly, but most infant clothes used to be kimono-style and there is a reason for that. It really is better for baby and much more gentle.
-Second, you know how baby socks always fall off? Well that is why you need footed pants! I think the whole pants-and-socks for babies thing is such a ripoff. Sure, it's cute, and we have some "outfits" but for around the house, it's all footed pants for us.
-Third, as we use cloth diapers and the potty, we need to take off pants often, and having a nice set like this makes that easy. It is such a pain to unsnap half a bodysuit, or get socks contaminated with diaper stuff when baby kicks. This set-up eliminates that problem because you just pull the wee pants off, change or potty baby, and put it back on. It's so much simpler!
Finally, if you, like me, hate the over-gendering of baby clothes (because you know, total strangers just have to know if it's a she or a he, and should be informed by a color coding system and announcements of intentions to marry a monarch OR become a professional athlete), then these are for you. They are white and have nothing girly or boyish about them. They are pure baby. You could hand them down from baby to baby no matter what you get next, and also hand them down to other people you like, no matter what they have. So this is actually two pluses in one- more hand-me-down power, and also better looking.
We also have a similar set from Under the Nile in organic cotton, but the cotton is a bit thinner. Though, they were less expensive by about $3 per set (UtN was cheaper, not PB). They (UtN) are also unbleached cotton, so that is an off-white color.
Because you can wash it more, you can put it on baby more, so it is really worth the money.
