The stores sell a lot of different children's clothing. It is easy to make a mistake with a choice: you can throw money down the drain, buy something impractical or too inconvenient. Let's take a look at what brands are in stores and look at their characteristics.
Let's compare the prices for all new items for the 2017-2018 winter season.
Kerry brand
Appearance: stylish, beautiful. Size range: from birth to 10 years. Manufactured in Finland. Materials are thought out for rainy and muddy weather. The fabric is difficult to stain and easy to wash. Winter jackets and overalls are not too inflated, the child can move freely in them, but at the same time it is warm.
A winter set, pants and a jacket, will cost from 10, 5 thousand rubles. Separately, a coat with a fur trim and a "skirt" - from 10, 7 thousand rubles. Separately, pants from overalls with suspenders - from 4.5 thousand rubles.
Reima brand
Appearance: bright, fashionable, beautiful. The clothes are practical: easy to wash, difficult to stain. Usually any outfit can be supplemented with a fleece suit that will be attached from the inside to keep the garment warm. Reima is as light as Kerry. No extra insulation, the child is easy and free. It is important that in overalls for babies, the place under the butt is often insulated. Manufactured by Reima in Finland.
There are three lines of outerwear: Reima, ReimaTEC and ReimaTEC +. They differ in the degree of water resistance and the presence of special elements. The easiest option is Reima. The best option for children in urban environments is ReimaTEC.
One-piece winter overalls from the new collection will cost about 10 thousand rubles, separate trousers from overalls with suspenders - from 4.5 thousand rubles. A winter jacket (or a coat that covers the butt) - from 6, 2 thousand rubles, an elongated jacket (up to the knees) - from 9 thousand rubles.
The Reima brand is slightly more economical than Kerry. The quality is high for both brands.
Lassie brand
Back in the 80s, the brand was bought by the Finnish company Reima. These are very similar brands both in appearance and composition. Lassie is more economical in terms of prices, although the quality is the same. Visually, the Reima lineup looks brighter and "more expensive", but the actual performance suggests otherwise.
Prices for Lassie models are on average 1-2 thousand rubles. lower than Reima.
Zara brand
Zara is, first of all, fashionable and beautiful clothes. The brand is owned by a Spanish company. You can choose exactly the same outfits for the girl as her mother. Winter models are mainly represented by jackets and coats. Usually there is a lot of faux fur on such things, but natural fillers (nowadays, gray duck fluff and feathers, 50/50 are often found), there are fleece lining. The jackets look more bulky than those of the above brands. Fabrics are not so practical and, most likely, they need to be washed in dry cleaning, or in a machine on a delicate wash up to 30 degrees.
The prices for the Zara models are quite affordable. A warm quilted jacket will cost from 3 to 5 thousand rubles.
What should you choose?
The most economical option, but at the same time of high quality, is Lessie. If you are not limited in funds and just choose what you like, then you can look at any model from Finnish manufacturers - this will be the best choice for everyday wear. But for a festive photo session, if your child often moves in a car, if the weather in your region is not very harsh, then clothes from Zara would be an excellent choice.
Many manufacturers are based in Finland or Spain, but still, if you look at the product tags, in fact, almost all of them are made in China. This is worth paying attention to when buying.
