Toddlers are very active and need to move around comfortably. This article provides some excellent tips on choosing clothing for toddlers ...

In case you are wondering how to pick the right clothes for your toddler, here are some basics to help you through the selection. Remember that toddlers live an active life; this can be very hard on their clothing. The following are the characteristic clothes which will be easier for you to take care of:
· Machine washable so that you can remove food spills and soil easily
· Durable; it should withstand abrasions from crawling and laundering
· Materials that stretch for comfort
· Sweat-shirt fleece for warmth and softness during cold weather
· Fabrics requiring minimum ironing, such as quilted fabrics and stonewashed denim
· Patterned fabrics to camouflage soiled clothes

Since DURABILITY of the cloth matters a lot, consider these features which exhibit good durability:
· Seams sewn with small stitches; should also be flat and pliable
· Finished seam and hem edges
· Stitch reinforcements at points of strain, such as ends of zippers and at pockets

The proportions of the bodies undergo change as the toddlers grow. Remember the toddler's physique when choosing clothing:
· If the neck is short, look for rib-knit necklines
· If the shoulders are sloping, keep the shoulder-straps crossed in back or anchored together.
· If your toddler is beginning toilet training, Pull-down styles of pants having elastic waists will help both boys and girls learn to manage this important task.
· If the toddler is still in the crawling stage, the crotch length of pants should be long enough not to bind.

Also remember this; clothes that are too big also can become caught on play equipments and might lead to serious injuries. A toddler's clothes must allow for free movement while protecting the knees, shins and elbows from abrasions during falls. Choosing pants with extra padding in the knee area and long-sleeve shirts or blouses to protect the elbows lessens these chances of injuries.

The ideal clothes to wear while playing include coveralls, slacks, overalls, shirts and knit tops with extra padding.

Above all, maintaining these few vital guidelines will not only help you select the right clothes for you toddler, but also give your toddler a chance to comfortably and actively move around.
