It's that time of year again! Temperatures are dropping and us moms are trying to figure out how best to keep our little ones warm, from their heads to their toes!
Hat - check!Coat - check!Pants - check!Socks - check!Leg warmers - ... That's right, moms! Your baby and toddlers are not ready for winter without their Huggalugs leg warmers! Made in Australia, these chic baby and toddler legwarmers provide endless benefits turning them from a simple, stylish accessory to a must-have item in your diaper bag!
Why, you ask? Well...In Florida it is often cool during the morning, warm in the afternoon and then drops drastically at night. But
Huggalugs are an easy way to ensure that Lochlan is always dressed appropriately. When we leave the house to go to the library he can wear them with shorts. When we leave the library, I just peel them off and he is still dressed appropriately for the now warmer weather. Or when we run to my parent's house in the afternoon, he can wear his shorts. But when the weather dips, I pull his Huggalugs from the bag to keep his legs warm.
Moms of girls can do the same, putting Huggalugs under skirts! Simply put, it's a lot easier to keep Huggalugs in a diaper bag than three changes of clothing during this time of year!
Plus, Huggalugs can be interchangeable as leg OR arm warmers! So if your child is in short sleeves, just pull on some Huggalugs and it looks like a layered shirt!
You can also put Huggalugs under pants to keep ankles warm from cold drafts. After all, there is always that one bit of bare skin between the socks and the end of the pants! And children easily hike their pants up with all the moving and grooving they do. Carriers and slings also cause pants to ride up. But the Huggalugs will always stay put, comfortably, and keep those legs warm!
When potty training Keegan, he was (is) often walking around in just a shirt and underwear. In the summer that might be fine, but for children training in the winter they need a layer to keep their legs warm! Huggalugs make it easy for them to practice taking on and off their underwear to use the potty, while still keeping their legs warm!
Cloth diapers are so cute now-a-days! So many patterns and colors to choose from! I often see pictures of fluffy butt kids wearing only their cloth diaper and a shirt. Once again, keep those legs warm with Huggalugs!
Learning to crawl can be tough on the knees, as babies go over rough carpet and floorboards. And those first steps are exciting, but still cause scrapes and bruises on those baby legs! Sp protect those little legs with Huggalugs as they hit those first milestones!
Often a nurse will give your child a shot on their legs. try dressing your child in a pair of shorts and Huggalugs so that you don't have to struggle with taking off pants at the office!
When Keegan was just itty-bitty he got a BAD diaper rash. We did a lot of naked bottom time. But although I wanted to air out his bum, I didn't want him to be chilly. Huggalugs would have been the perfect answer to keeping his legs warm, while his butt healed.
- Protection from Insect Bites
If the mosquitoes are buzzing, which is almost always in Florida, we can easily protect Lochlan's arms and legs by pulling on Huggalugs. You can even spray the Huggalugs with repellent, rather than directly on a toddler or baby's sensitive skin!
And the number one reason I love Huggalugs. The styles are oh-so cute and perfect for boys and girls! Wear them with costumes, tutus and pettiskirts!
EXPERIENCE:Lochlan (pictured) is wearing
Dinosaurus (Item 0211). My other favorite patterns for boys are
Smasher, Bomber Jo and Lil Pirate. For girls, be sure to check out the
LadyBeetle and Sunshine Fields! I love how easy it is to change his diaper when he is roaming around in a shirt and Huggalugs. Plus, he is doing a combination of walking and crawling, so I like this added protection for his legs.
Cleaning the Huggalugs was a snap! Toss in the washer, cold cycle, then air dry to prevent shrinkage.
Plus, I like how Huggalugs fit Lochlan. You see the chub on that boy! But Huggalugs don't leave marks from the elastic, yet they stay put!

For a boy I like Rocketman..a girl I like Anna! These would be great for the reason you mentioned...potty training in the winter time living in a house with a husband who likes the feel of the arctic circle! LOL!
28/11/08 9:19 AM
Living with the long winters full of subzero temps that we do these are a NECESSITY for my son! It's an easy non-bulky way to add a layer for warmth but they're quickly and easily removed once we're indoors.
Not to mention we're just a few weeks away from Opertation: Get Potty Trained Already :-P
He would love, love, LOVE the dinosaur ones :-)

Oh there are so many new ones since I was obsessed last! I LOVE these b/c they are super easy with cloth diapers and they help me keep Evie warm without putting her in a sometimes-too-hot full coat. And we are PT'ing Nate right now so these are a total need!
I LOVE the Choc Dip Blue!

Handsome Stripe is definitely my favorite, very cute!
28/11/08 6:14 PM
I'd love a pair of these to keep my little one's legs warm this winter. It seems that his pants are always coming up, and the socks don't cover the gap. These would be perfect.

I like all the ones with the little ruffles. They're too adorable to choose just one!
29/11/08 5:48 AM
I'd like Huggalugs to send to my sister for her baby. They live where they've already seen 2ft of snow, and these would be perfect for so many uses, even under pants.

mint pink polka are cute - I'd give them to a friend's baby :)
29/11/08 10:16 AM
They have such a nice selection of colors/styles of baby leg warmers! I can't narrow down to one for either girl or boy. I live in Florida where we do have cool weather that warms up later in the day and cools off at night so these would be great. A couple in our church just adopted a nine month old baby with Down's syndrome and I would love to give these to them. The boy ones I especially liked were: Choc Dip, Calm Sea, Goodtimes and Liberty
29/11/08 1:31 PM

I would love these because the winters are SO cold here and they are so great to layer to keep those babies warm! And when you carry a baby - their pant leg always goes up. This would protect their skin from the cold!
