The Must-Have Toddler Clothing Checklist

  1. Soft Everyday Tees & Tops: Look for breathable cotton tops with easy neck openings.

  2. Stretchy Leggings or Bottoms: They need space to move, crawl, and explore!

  3. Comfy Dresses (For Girls): Lightweight frocks are ideal for playdates or parties.

  4. Seasonal Outerwear: Think light jackets for spring or cozy sweaters for winter

  5. Sleepwear Sets: Breathable, tag-free nightwear is a must.

  6. Ethnic Wear: Perfect for festivals, birthdays, or family gatherings.

  7. On-the-Go Outfits: Sets that are stylish yet hassle-free for outings.
