What to look for
Question
In brief
Why
Which size?
In briefCompare hand and thumb fit
WhyAge ranges are only a guide. Assess length, width and movement after putting the mitten on.
Which opening?
In briefA fastening that opens wide
WhyA long zip helps guide the hand inside. Once closed, it should not rub against the skin.
How wet will it be?
In briefWaterproof or water-repellent
WhyFrequent snow contact calls for waterproof construction. Dry walks may need less weather protection.
How does it stay on?
In briefA cuff without pressure
WhyThe mitten should hold without constricting the wrist. Use retention loops only as instructed.
Common questions
What if the thumb is in the wrong place?
Open the mitten fully and gently guide the hand inside. Then check the thumb sits in its own section. A side or extended zip makes it easier to see and adjust its position.
Should I buy baby mittens a size larger?
Oversized mittens slip off more easily and make gripping harder. Leave room for movement without long empty tips. Compare the size guidance for the particular brand rather than age alone.
Does a baby in a pushchair need waterproof mittens?
For dry walks, warmth and a comfortable fit come first. Waterproof construction is useful for wet days or snow contact. The cuff still needs to work with the jacket sleeve.
How do I dry the mittens?
Open the fastening and air-dry them. Follow the care label for washing and drying to preserve the membrane, lining and shape. Avoid placing them on a hot radiator.
