Pros and cons
- No holiday print
- Baby sizes only
- Buttons take longer than snaps
Two cardigans and bear ears
The pack has two complementary cardigans, one hooded with bear ears [1]. The bear one is the photo; the plain one is the spare when sweet potato ends up on the first.
Carter's says the two-pack is meant for a spare at home, in the diaper bag or at grandma's house [1], which is exactly how holiday visits go.
Babies grow fast, so a two-pack also covers the next size up sooner than you think. Buy the size for this winter, not next spring.
Buttons for car seats
Bulky baby sweaters and puffy coats make car seat straps hard to fit. A soft knit cardigan keeps the baby warm without bulk [1] and comes off with a few buttons [1].
The knit is gentle on skin, and the listing says it keeps babies warm without overheating [1]. That matters in a warm house full of relatives.
Soft knit also looks right in photos with grandparents, more polished than a fleece jacket and warmer than a plain onesie.
No holiday print
These are classic cardigans, not Christmas sweaters with reindeer. The color does the holiday work, so pick a pack in warm tones.
They come in baby sizes only. For older kids, the Hope & Henry Boys' Organic Tipped Cardigan is the bigger version of this look.
Buttons take a little longer than snaps on a wriggly baby.
Grandma's house spare
It is a practical gift for new parents at Christmas or a winter baby shower, and it costs less than most baby outfits from a boutique [1].
Add a pair of soft baby socks and the gift is a complete outfit for the first family Christmas.
From the same guide, pair it with the Amazon Essentials Men's Cable Knit Crewneck Sweater for dad, or with the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Circle Cardigan for a new mom who deserves something soft.
